@jsbilsbrough @CatherineFlick It's a near certainty they hired him for his skills and contacts to sell devices to the police. He said he was proud of the work he did.
This isn't someone who feels bad and just wants to go back to making wholesome machines. He spent his career doing surveillance and wants to continue.
@Kye @jsbilsbrough @CatherineFlick building this kind of surveillance equipment is part of the UK's tech history and something British companies have specialised in for decades, its only in recent times they have been open and blatant about it - and installing privately run covert cameras at home, with or without consent of others living there is likely to be a popular project amongst right wing "my home is my castle" types..
