Yesterday, politicians and civil liberties groups accused the Home Secretary of keeping the plans to export pictures secret from Parliament when she announced last year that British anti-terrorism police could access “real time” images from cameras used in the running of London’s congestion charge.昨天，政治家和公民自由團體的指責英國內政大臣保持計劃將圖片導出秘密從議會時，她去年宣布，英國反恐警察可以進入的“實時”的圖像從相機中使用的運行倫敦的交通擠塞電荷。
A statement by Miss Smith to Parliament on July 17, 2007, detailing the exemptions for police from the 1998 Data Protection Act, did not mention other changes that would permit material to be sent outside the European Economic Area (EEA) to the authorities in the US and elsewhere.聲明小姐史密斯向議會提交關於2007年7月17日，詳述豁免警方從1998年數據保護法，並沒有提及其他的變化將允許材料將被送到歐洲經濟區以外（歐經區）向有關當局在該美國和其他地方。
Her permission to do so was hidden away in an earlier “special certificate” signed by the Home Secretary on July 4.她的許可，這樣做是藏在早先的“特別證書”的簽署是由民政司於七月四日。
The certificate specifically sets out the level of data that can be sent to enforcement authorities outside the European Economic Area (the EU plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) by anti-terrorist officers from the Metropolitan Police.證書具體列明的水平，數據可傳送給執法機關以外的歐洲經濟區（歐盟加上冰島，列支敦士登和挪威）反恐人員從首都警察。 It says:它說：
“The certificate relates to the processing of the images taken by the camera, personal data derived from the images, including vehicle registration mark, date, time and camera location.” “證書，涉及到處理圖像時所採取的相機，個人資料來自圖像，包括車輛登記馬克，日期，時間和相機的位置” 。
A spokesman for Richard Thomas, the information commissioner, confirmed that the certificate had been worded so that the images of private cars, as well as registration numbers, could be sent outside to countries such as the USA.發言人理查德托馬斯，信息專員，證實該證書已措辭，使圖像私家車，以及登記號碼，可以送交以外的國家，例如美國。
Officers from the Metropolitan Police have been given the right to view in “real time” any CCTV images from cameras that are meant to be enforcing the congestion charge.人員由大都會警察局已獲得的權利，以查看在的“實時”任何閉路電視圖像從相機的意思是要執行擁擠費。
Sources said that officers would access the cameras on behalf of overseas authorities if they were informed about a terrorism threat in the UK or elsewhere.有消息說，人員將進入相機的名義海外有關當局，如果他們了解恐怖主義的威脅，在英國或其他地方。 They would then share the images, which can be held for five years before being destroyed, if necessary.然後他們將分享圖像，可舉行5年前被摧毀，如果必要的。
Last night, Nick Clegg, the Liberal Democrat leader, said: “This confirms that this Government is happy to hand over potentially huge amounts of information on British citizens under the catch-all pretext of ‘national security’.”昨晚，尼克Clegg先生，自由民主黨領袖，說： “這證實，這個政府是很樂意交出潛在的巨大的信息量對英國公民，根據包羅一切為藉口， '國家安全' ” 。
Civil liberties campaigners said they were appalled that images of innocent people’s journeys could end up in the hands of the British police, let alone foreign investigators.民權運動人士說，他們震驚的圖像無辜的人的行程，最終可能在手中的英國警方，更遑論外國調查。
They feared that it was a move towards the US-style system of “data mining” - in which powerful computers sifted millions of pieces of information as they tried to build patterns of behaviour and match them to material about suspects.他們擔心，這是一個走向美國式的系統“數據挖掘” -在這種強大的計算機篩選出的數百萬件的資料，他們試圖建立的行為模式和匹配他們的物質有關嫌疑人。
Gus Hosein, who runs Privacy International, said he was making a complaint to the information commissioner having obtained a copy of the certificate. GUS的hosein ，誰違背了國際隱私，他說，作出投訴，信息專員獲得的證書副本。
However, the Home Office defended the powers in the certificate, which was signed specifically for the purposes of counter terrorism and national security.然而，家庭辦公室辯護的權力，在該證書，這是簽署了專為目的，反恐怖主義和國家安全。
A spokesman declined to say how many times images had been sent from London to other countries.發言人拒絕透露有多少次的圖片已送往從倫敦到其他國家。
However, he added: “We would like to reassure the public that robust controls have been put in place to control and safeguard access to, and use of, the information.”不過，他補充說： “我們想安撫市民，魯棒控制已落實到位，控制和維護，獲取和利用，信息” 。
