CCTV turns nasty
Brian Micklethwait (London)  Civil liberty/regulation • How very odd!

Following on directly from some of the things Johnathan says immediately below this, here is visual proof that surveillance cameras are not quite the innocent gadgets that some tell us:

SpeedGun.jpg

The bloke who sent this in to Idiot Toys found it "somewhere on Amazon", so we may never know where this scary camera is, who it is snooping on, and what its future plans might be.

Caption anyone?

I know what you're thinking... did I take six photos, or only five?

Shut the CCTV's down by engaging in simulated sex acts.

Something about the story really ticks me off, but at the same time, I'm sure the half of it isn't being reported.

I doubt it would take a 7.62x51 and function.

Oh wait it's in England isn't it, never mind...

Hate to be a smart aleck but with the exception of you, Theo and a few others your island has become the classic warning to other societies.

It's Ned Kelly's latest fashion look! Will the retro 'Dark Knight' style take off this time, or will the other fashion houses fight black?

Its an infra red camera because sometimes the infra red flash from the speed camera cant pick up a person behind a cold windscreen so they boost it with infrared leds Its probably in a very cold area so its to boost the power of the camera

Police unveil the new model Smith 2d(home) camera with auto shooting mode.

I see they now want to count them all now, that should be fun! I once found 90 cameras in a 1200 yard stretch.
