Panic as panic alarms meant to keep granny and little Timmy safe prove a privacy fiasco

Re: who exactly is going to bother

Find out where a person lives from the GPS? GPS doesn't give you a post code and an address! You'd have to track them from the pings to the GPS signal location, then basically spy on them physically to work out where they live (and even then you don't know it's their home). So let's assume you do know they have left the property, given all the effort you already put in to staking them out, wouldn't it just be easier to burgle someone a little closer to home?

Re: Crims don't like being on camera

It's useless ... but the burglar skipped past your house because you had cameras? Seems pretty useful to me.

I was in Scotland when I registered, does that mean I'm ok because the breach only affects people in England? I'm in England now but I might go to Wales later today...will I be safe there? I'm confused.

Screen resolution

Screen resolution is actually 800x480 not 800x400. Battery life on this bad-boy is streets ahead of my iPhone which I have to charge more than once a day!
