Howay! CCTV To Tick You Off
British councils plan to install speakers in its CCTV so remote controllers can tell those naughty hoodies off, the BBC reports:
“Talking” CCTV cameras that tell off people dropping litter or committing anti-social behaviour are to be extended to 20 areas across England.
They are already used in Middlesbrough where people seen misbehaving can be told to stop via a loudspeaker, controlled by control centre staff. About £500,000 will be spent adding speaker facilities to existing cameras.
