Ok so how things are in Poland?
Well it's not so bad. First of all CCTV is not so common sight in our cities. I have this "luck" to live in monitored city. In short we have about 20-30 cameras on the crossroads and around court, police station and city council buildings. It's really not bad for 34 k. population. Of course there are many in shops, markets etc. but they haven't got acces to the web (internet is quite slow and expensive, for 514 kbps I pay around 12E/16$ month).
Basically in larger cities they are cameras above crossroads, roads, goverment buildings and crowded places (markets, squares, metro, stations etc.)
For more important part we are now in SHENGEN system, there are no borders with western countries but police, border patrol and authorities have acces to various information from european databases. Also revcently we got passports with chips.
ID's and driver licenses are in form of plastic card.
What else... If you want to hide, you can simply go to countryside or some small town.
Ok I can't remember anything else, if you have questions please ask.
