UK: Garbage Rules Enforced with Surveillance Cameras

June 16th, 2007

Via: Telegraph:

Householders in a seaside town have been told to put their bins out at the front of their homes and not in an alleyway to the rear.

They must also leave their rubbish out between set times to ensure it does not attract pests or miss the dust cart.

To enforce the new rules, a camera will be placed in a rubbish bag and left in an alleyway to blend in with the surroundings to catch offenders. Those filmed breaking the rules will be given a ticking off.

Repeat offenders could be handed a fixed penalty notice or even be taken to court and fined up to £1,000.

The tiny covert camera, which has cost Weymouth and Portland Council, Dorset, up to £10,000, will also help catch householders who put their rubbish out too early or too late.

    Sometimes I look at American news and than God I’m a free-born Englishman. Other times I look at ‘British’ news and wish I had the American constitution behind me.

    Yet, in the event, both defences prove pitiful in the face of global-corporate interests.

    How about a surveillance search engine? Go ahead and worry about your trash being watched while billions of humans’ searches per day are loaded into the NSA. Thanks Matt Cutts.

    And still the pople do nothing about it. I’m starting to think there’s no need for a second 9-11, as the elites are getting a free and easy run at this as things are.
