The individual's fragmented political autonomy: surveillance of public spaces, anonymity and the myth of "Public security"
Bibliographic record
Abstract
francaisCet article critique la politique croissante de surveillance publique par le systeme de cameras de surveillance publique (television en circuit ferme) en Grece et dans d'autres pays comme le Royaume-Uni, les USA, le Canada et l'Australie. Il presente les arguments pour et contre de telles politiques ainsi que les principales menaces que pose une telle politique pour la liberte de l'individu, comme cela apparait dans la jurisprudence pertinente de la CourEDH. Le principal argument de la presentation souligne la necessite de deduire par interpretation du concept traditionnel de vie privee un droit a l'anonymat ou, sinon, un droit au respect de la vie privee en public. Ce droit permet a l'individu de jouir de sa vie privee en public, donc de circuler en public en etant assure que sa presence restera anonyme et qu'il se fondra dans la foule. Un tel droit est particulierement precieux au regard de la protection de l'autonomie politique de l'individu quand il participe aux manifestations et autres mouvements publics, a condition que ses actes ne meritent pas l'intervention de l'Etat. La presentation se termine par quelques remarques sur les m�urs sociales et politiques changeantes qui mettent en avant la demande de surveillance publique comme une necessite de securite publique. EnglishThis paper is critically commenting on the augmenting policy of public surveillance through the 'Public Camera Surveillance' system (CCTV technology) in Greece and in other countries such as the UK, USA, Canada and Australia. It presents the arguments in favor and against such policies and the main threats that such policy-making poses for the freedom of the individual as represented in the relevant jurisprudence of the ECtHR. The main argument of the presentation underlines the need for the interpretive deduction of a right to anonymity or otherwise of a right to public privacy from the traditional notion of privacy. This right enables the individual to enjoy his/her privacy in public, thus allowing him/her to circulate in public assured that its presence will remain anonymous and permitting him/her to merge with the rest of the crowd. Such a right is specifically valuable in order to protect the political autonomy of the individual as a participant of demonstrations and public movements or manifestations under the precondition that his/her deeds do not merit the state's intervention. The presentation closes with some remarks on the changing social and political ethos that brings forward the demand of public surveillance as a need for public safety.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
