Wheelin bins await collection from Belfast City Council, in the Rosetta area of south, Belfast, Northern Ireland, Friday, March, 5, 2010.   Monitored by millions of cameras and spied on by a secretive domestic intelligence network, Britons could be forgiven for feeling up in arms over the latest threat to their privacy: Intelligent garbage bins that can monitor how much they throw out. Although the technology is already nearly a decade old, a U.K. privacy rights group says the number of local authorities fitting their trash bins with  sensors of some kind has risen dramatically in the past year  affecting at least 2.6 million British households. Big Brother Watch says the practice could lead to Britons being charged for how much they throw out  and effectively allow the government to go through their garbage.

In this Dec. 26, 2009 photo released by Roberts & Roberts law firm, a scene of a deadly crash of the 2008 Toyota Avalon taken by the Southlake Police Department is shown. In the Texas crash, four people died when their 2008 Avalon ripped through a fence, hit a tree and flipped into an icy pond. Toyota has for years blocked access to data stored in devices similar to airline 'black boxes' that could explain crashes blamed on sudden unintended acceleration, according to an Associated Press review of lawsuits nationwide and interviews with auto crash experts. The AP investigation found that Toyota has been inconsistent — and sometimes even contradictory — in revealing exactly what the devices record and don't record, including critical data about whether the brake or accelerator pedals were depressed at the time of a crash.
