CCTV cameras will bark orders at people who misbehave in the streets of eight major British cities as part of a government scheme to cajole people into respecting authority.

Faceless bureaucrats will tell people off when they are being "anti-social" by dropping litter, behaving drunkenly, fighting, and, presumably, smashing up CCTV cameras and otherwise dismantling the apparatus of the nanny state.


But these bureaucrats will be voiceless too - CCTV operators taking part in the scheme will use recordings of children's voices to browbeat wayward adults.

camera:"ok who masturbated in the thelephone cabin?!"
 
Thats a great idea, no one wants to be shamed in public so calling out their name or yelling at them is great, I would kill to be the one who gets to do the yelling.
I had the same idea with speeding. Theres a tunnel where all the radio stations are rebroadcast and the tunnel operating room sometimes makes announcements, telling people to stop speeding over the radio would be far more effective than speed cameras.

It's just a new way of getting people to obey the law and stop being tools.
 
Another step further......

I am by no means a 'youth' who goes around getting drunk, fighting etc quite the opposite in fact and have 'nothing to hide' but this really does make me feel ill.
The reason for these devices is supposedly to reduce 'anti social behaivour' are they too dumb to realise that kids will naturally rebel against such authority, in a sense the youths have no sense of freedom and will be likely to partake in much more destructive behavoir either to gain a response from the camera or merely to mock the system.

Where does this slippery slope end?
 
Maybe it's just me, but it seems like getting a response out of the people you're trying to **** with would just make it more fun.
 
Great, all that these drunked yobs are getting is ****ing Pocoyo telling them to be nice.
 
Is this a step in the war against chavs?
 
They don't know what they've gotten themselves into... "anti-social behaviour" reeks of 1984 anyway. If i see a camera, I'll smash it up for good measure.
 
Now the homeless have someone to talk to.

Lol,

But seriously, you think what they could try on as the uk is eased into things like this, with the attitude that 'all crime must be stamped out' any possible technology to reduce crime will no doubt be considered.

There are pretty laughable things like these talking cameras and the like but what stops something more sinister being used, the more control the government or other 'authorites' have the less you have, without control over your own life you have no freedom.

Freedom is certainly essential for me.
 
Wow, sucks for you chaps over there in England. Though I'm sure we'll be importing this idea soon enough... :|

homeless to camera:"so watched lost last night?"
camera:"sir this is a public service"
homeless:"okay,but I can get a cheese burger whit fries? I hav the money look"
camera:"this is not that kind of service"
 
that's seriously creepy

I'm feeling every Orwellian novel, movie, or game I've ever seen
 
Sounds like a bad 80s sci fi movie with Marc Dacascos as the lead.
 
Oh, it gets better... :naughty: This is the BBC's take on the technology:

I'm sure the following is what we're all thinking :D

lets make caption games whit that!
 
I go to Middlesbrough quite often (the first town to try this scheme out) and I haven't heard any talking camera's yet.
 
We're getting these in my City soon, I imagine it will be like this.


"Please pick up your litter"/"Please do not shit down there"

"**** off!" *Gives finger to camera and runs off before police can arrive.
 
I was thinking Dalek voices.
 
This is a ticket to 1984, most people can't of read it because nobody really seems to give a crap.

ever heard of the RFID chip? been developed for the very purpose of keeping track of workers and suspected criminals.

Implantable RFID chips designed for animal tagging are now being used in humans. An early experiment with RFID implants was conducted by British professor of cybernetics Kevin Warwick, who implanted a chip in his arm in 1998. Night clubs in Barcelona, Spain and in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, use an implantable chip to identify their VIP customers, who in turn use it to pay for drinks [6].

In 2004, the Mexican Attorney General's office implanted 18 of its staff members with the Verichip to control access to a secure data room. (This number has been variously mis-reported as 160 or 180 staff members. [7])

Many books published about RFID are aimed at medium to large businesses implementing RFID technology to track shipments or livestock; however, until the publication of RFID Toys [8] by Amal Graafstra in 2006 little information was available for the enthusiast. Shortly after the book's publication, the Seattle Center On Contemporary Art [9] hosted a live implant procedure performed on Phillip Beynon, a student from Vancouver Canada.

Security experts are warned against using RFID for authenticating people due to the risk of Identity Theft. For instance a Mafia Fraud Attack would make it possible for an attacker to steal the identity of a person in real-time. Due to the resource-constraints of RFIDs it is virtually impossible to protect against such attack models as this would require complex distance-binding protocols.[citation needed]

I laugh at the idea that using recorded kids' voices will make people feel less like they're living in some authoritarian nightmare.

I don't do any of the anti-social stuff that they go on about. I don't even litter, but I feel a powerful urge to take a golf club to these ****ing cameras. What is happening to this country... We're already the most surveilled country practically anywhere - when will the government realise that it is not going to help solve deep social problems? It's like a mother beating her baby harder and harder because it won't stop crying.
 
I can imagine the "operators" having some fun with this.

"Pick up that Coke can you fooking twat! Yes, I'm talking to you, you bloody chav! Don't make me come down there!"
 
People should pull these things down.

ITT: photoshops and 1984 1984 1984 NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR

:LOL:

I for one think it's a good thing. Except instead of children admonishing you, they should work towards getting officers out there or perhaps even automatons to come and beat you for being "anti-social." Hey, if you weren't doing anything wrong, nobody'd call you out for it; as opposed to right now, where even if you do something wrong, you're not called out for it. Stop breaking the law, assholes!

Why not put CCTV in everyones house, hell why not have armed police on every street, guns trained on you.

If you're not a terrorist/criminal you've nothing to worry about right?

It's about freedom.
