Interactive Street Cameras have been tested in Great Britain, to not only watch what people are doing, but to tell them off too! These are to be rolled out across the country, "in order to make our Town Centres safer and cleaner"

Check it out here

Happy Goldfish bowl!

Is there a reason for this post Jeffrey?

Just pointing out the fact that 'Big Brother' is indeed watching...

That is the topic of this thread, is it not? ;)

There have also been reports that local councils are thinking of placing small cameras inside baked bean tins so that anyone throwing cans into the wrong bins can be caught and fined.

Yes, about a week and a bit. I remember reading something about it. I don't think people are going to appreciate their council tax going on all this camera business. It must cost the council a bit of money, surely?

Well, it seems it wasn't an April Fool report after all - here is what Ealing Council had to say on 23rd March.

The cameras cost money of course, but so does clearing up after illegal rubbish tipping.
