Can you believe what you see?

The discussion in class of surveillance in the UK reminded me of an incident that happened in London a few years ago.  In 2005, a man from Brazil was shot 8 times by police officers in the middle of a crowded tube station as a result of mistaken identity.  The officers caught him on surveillance cameras, mistook him for someone else whom they believed to be a terrorist threat, and followed him from his flat to the station.  If it was this easy for London police to make such a large mistake using video surveillance, it makes me wonder how full-proof surveillance is within the workplace.  Should there be legal protections for employees who feel they are misrepresented by surveillance evidence, such as video?

Here is a link to a story in Guardian newspaper regarding the London shooting.
