European court challenge to UK surveillance - BBC News
Rights groups have asked the European Court of Human Rights to rule on the legality of the UK's large-scale surveillance regime.
Amnesty International, Liberty and Privacy International filed a legal complaint with the court today.
The scale of the surveillance carried out by GCHQ has been revealed by US whistleblower Edward Snowden.
A similar legal challenge mounted in the UK last year saw judges rule that the spying did not breach human rights.

There IS much surveillance here. I don't mind the CCTV, but I find it stupid that I have to use my keycard three times just to enter my workplace each morning :p (Not sure if that is UK or US standard though, as I work for a US company in the UK :p)

so now, the courts will be busy trying to justify an answer. but will the answer ever justify everyones sense of privacy.
