Poop Man Bob Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/crime/sto...sp?story=443268 Robocop spy-cam speaks for itself By Andrew Johnson 14 September 2003 It is the snooper that speaks before anyone has the chance to step out of line. A cross between Big Brother and Robocop, it barks orders at would-be vandals, graffiti artists and drug users. British Transport Police and two local authorities are experimenting with revolutionary cameras which can spot when people are not where they should be. The Flash Cam 530 takes its photographs with an intense flash that can read a car number plate in the pitch dark from 100 yards, and then issues a stern 15-second Robocop-style spoken instruction to leave the area. Steve Galinsky, who started importing the cameras from America in May, said: "We have seven on trial across the country. Easington Council in County Durham is using them to stop fly-tipping. We've had no prosecutions so far, but no fly-tipping either." British Transport Police has three cameras, two standing guard at Worcester's Shrub Hill station and one in Leamington Spa station, to stop graffiti vandals. There is another at the memorial site to the victims of last year's rail crash in Potters Bar. Would-be vandals are told: "This is a dedicated memorial site. Please leave now. Your photograph has been taken and may be used to prosecute you." In Camden, north London, drug addicts hear: "Please leave now if you have no business in this area. Your photograph has been taken and if you are conducting an illegal activity you will be prosecuted." Mr Galinsky said Scotland Yard was in discussions over the cameras being installed throughout London. Westminster Council is considering a trial in central London. http://www.sciencefiction.com/movies/images/robocop.jpg'> beep boop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaBar2 Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 I don't think scolding "fly-tippers" Robo-Cop style would be nearly as effective as a well-placed sniper round. Robo-Cop: "Stop-fly-tipping-immediately. If-you-are-committing-an-illegal-act, you-will-be-prosecuted." Fly-tipper: "Fook off, you fookin' fooker. Suck my dick, you fooking wanker! I don't obey some fookin' machine!" Robo-Cop: BANG Fly-tipper: "Ahhhh! Oh my God, he shot me! Sweet Jesus, I'm bleeding! Ma! Ma! Goddammit, that hurts!" Robo-Cop: Leave-the-area-immediately. You are illegally-depositing-body-fluids-on-public-property-without-proper-authorization. This-is-is-a-Class-B-Misdemeanor." Fly-tipper: "You FOOKING SOD robot! You've bleedin' SHOT me, you fook!" Robo-Cop: BANG Fly-tipper: "Ahhhh! Sweet Jesus, he fooking shot me AGAIN! I can't fookin' BELIEVE this shit! I'm going to call my fooking SOLICITOR!" Robo-Cop: (click) "Prepare-to-receive-multiple-anti-personell-projectiles. Stand by! Four. Three. Two. . . RATATATATATATAT!" Fly-tipper: "(Gurgle) Fook." Silence. Robo-Cop: "Leaving-deceased-mammals-on-public-property-is-a-Class-B-Misdemeanor. Please-remove-yourself." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kido Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 in reference to what K-bar said: :) That makes me think of matchstick men. Nicolas Cage is O.C. and says something or another about shooting himself in the head. But doesnt because then how would he clean up the mess.

The only thing is, you have to know where the camera is, and if it's not one of those talking ones, I don't think it's gonna announce it's location to you.... but yes true, there's many many ways to duck out of a device's "digital reach".

Vanity Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 so what happens after 15 seconds? another picture? what if you're just standing there doing nothing, the police come and cant arrest you?
