Gestapo Watch - Big Brother extends "Shouting CCTV"

[David WJ Sherlock]

Our beloved Fuhrer is about to push camera surveillance further. The shout back cameras being used in Middlesbrough are going to be installed nation wide. If we are naughty boys and girls in the street, the can tell us off via loud speakers from the control rooms. Maybe now it is time to shout back.

I heard about this on Radio 2 this morning and it is getting frightening.

I have a comedy protest planned already:

Hire a dog costume and sit barking at one all day. I may even lift my leg up and...

[peloloco]

Yes I agree stephan, I like the idea of the dogsuit, got to keep our sense of humour and creativity. I was thinking of writing some poems to the poor people looking at bad folk like us all day about the effects on their health but show them on throw-away boards like the great Bob Dylan.

They dont scare me too much anymore, they need help not us, sad gits.

We will all get arrested some day for our dna, maybe I will send them a turd in a box, get it over and done with...

The "Have Your Say" on this subject on the BBC website is reactively moderated !!!!

I've posted a 9/11 comment mentioning "Press for Truth". I wonder how long it will last ?

[Bongo]

It's like the flaming TeleTubbies... we will have those things that look like they belong on the deck of the Titanic popping up out the ground everywhere telling us what to do...

You know the things I mean....

In soho those Little dark domes have grown out the side of buildings on every street corner, every pub has had to take them under the threat of being shut down.

Actually I think it´s a good idea, you can probably find them easier now and do a paint job

holy schamoly - not living in the UK means I don't get used to this kind of nonsense, and so the utter stupidity of this kind of news really hits me right between the eyes. I don't know whether to laugh or cry, but I do know that the UK is getting sick, and when things start to go pear-shaped it might all get very horrible. I'm not a doomsday merchant, but we do need to acknowledge reality.

[peloloco]

Too right Adam1, it is crazy! Apparently the media are telling us how it will be, little kids shouting at us to keep us in line. these people are truly sick.

Useing kids is like saddam and the human shield but worse.

Pull em down!

what if your deaf? should you expect cops pouncing on you for ignoring the call after dropping a piece of litter without realising?

i can see the story now "death person tassered for ignoring calls to stop after dropping litter"

The talking cameras did not constitute "secret surveillance", he said.

"It's very public, it's interactive." so says John Reid




Interactive ay!...Is shouting back on option John?! They've got a nerve alright.

[dontbelievethehype1970]

very good point marky54. There should be some sort of law suit against them as they may be inherently discrimantory against people who cannot hear.

except that situation exists already whereby a policeman arresting a deaf person does not need to use sign language etc.
