it of the head cameras is about to pilot a new generation of ticket machines. The latest electronic warden, still at the teething stage, not only issues penalties but can actually hunt down miscreants who seek to avoid paying. Deaths so far fall well within the design quotient though the trampling problem was, to say the least, unexpected. But hey, if people won't stop when commanded then be it upon their own head, or what's left of it after apprehension. Okay, some tragedies were unfortunate, especially those involving children but a manufacturer's statement indicates numbers are expected to decline with the installation of gamma scanners. A spokesperson for the Council said "Our aim is to drive crime off the streets and back into the home where it belongs."
I think we can all say amen to that.

This big brother trends don't actually make me laugh... hell, one of these days they'll have cameras inside our houses! And I used to complain about our traffic wardens!
drive crime back into the homes? and then they start putting cameras in their homes. right?
D and K,
Ah you two, such innocents. Here in the UK we desire to be watched, nay we demand surveillance as our right. Cameras in homes, hey, we demand cameras in our heads, not on our heads but in them, just next to the chip, to the chip, to the chip, to the chip, to the chip, brrrzzzgtttttt...
Yeeaah, I want one of those. I wonder if they can outrun our minibus drivers.
Cameras in the homes. Dan, did you see that movie, Sliver?
so all of the UK are just a bunch of Peeping Toms?
G,
I've not seen the movie sliver, but I do know that in the UK a person walking through an average town will have their image captured over 300 times in one day by these damned surveillance cameras. In essence they're the result of Blair's paranoia and rather than make people feel safer they promote fear because to justify them Blair says we should be fearful. THE BASTARD!
K,
Not all of us. The State is the largest Peeping Tom.
