The UK and their speaking CCTV
Moby | 13/1/2008The UK is the most surveillance heavy country in the world. And they have CCTV cameras that can talk at who they are watching.
Just a little 1984ish to get shouted at by a CCTV camera atop a pole
I raised this with a female friend.
She told me her talking CCTV story. She was near the center of town. Walking around carrying a day-pack, wearing jeans and a sweater.
She felt hot, so removed her sweater, and put it in her bag, and stood up to leave. The CCTV camera asked “could the woman who just removed her jumper to please put it back on.”
She looked down and she was wearing just her bra, she had forgotten that she wasn’t wearing a shirt under her jumper. So it worked in her favour it seems.
I talked to a few others, and the only other experience was a girl smoking a joint with some friends, and the camera told them to stop smoking.
She thought it was her paranoia until she discussed it with her friends and they had all heard it. Obviously its not a smelling CCTV. So it must have been a no smoking area or they were really obvious.
