Talking UK big brother cameras to expand tyranny to 20 more areas over the UK.

[originalpckelly]

"'Talking' CCTV cameras that tell off people dropping litter or committing anti-social behaviour are to be extended to 20 areas across England.

They are already used in Middlesbrough where people seen misbehaving can be told to stop via a loudspeaker, controlled by control centre staff.

About £500,000 will be spent adding speaker facilities to existing cameras.

Shadow home affairs minister James Brokenshire said the government should be 'very careful' over the cameras."

1. I wish the general public would be doing this. We shouldn't need cameras.

I hate people who just throw their fast food waste on the ground. They are vermin who wish to make the world their waste heap.

2. It's the description that bugs me most.........

"anti-social behaviours."


Oh, really. Can we install cameras in the homes and gardens of the elite too? Honestly.

4. Big Brother Speaks With the Voice of a Child

Bad enough being spied on and chided - having it done in with a child's voice makes it all the more annoying and creepy. I'm sure it was selected to be non-threatening, but what adult wants to be corrected by a child?
