This kind of “smart” surveillance technology has been around for several years now, and it’s pretty amazing in that it can drastically reduce the personnel needed to monitor large numbers of CCTV feeds.

As terrible as this is - it’ll be the next generation’s job security. Not a bad field to get into.
But when they DO catch a criminal, they immediately let him go.
And prosecute the VICTIMS of crime.

The Brits are way beyond “weird.”
“The cameras can alert operators to suspicious behaviour, such as loitering and unusually slow walking. Anyone spotted could then have to explain their behaviour to a police officer.”
Unless your an alienated Muslim over turning cars or burning things in the street of course. Or a hate spewing Imam preaching death to all Britians...the cameras are unfortunately blind in this area.
Hmm. Something is nagging me in the back of my head about “prior restratnt,” but I’m sure it’s nothing...
AND in breaking news tonight, as “walking slowly” has been linked with crimes about to be committed, police have arrested forty-one people who have just had hip replacements, four with bad foot pronation, ninety-four with piles, two with diarrohea, one hundred and twenty-eight who are depressed because they think “someone is watching them”; two with PMT,eighteen with arthritis, two who are taking the p*ss and fifty-one doing it deliberately so they can sue for wrongful arrest. The offenders were sentenced to a total of nine hundred and fifty years in prison. Chief Inspector Pedantic of the serious crimes squad said “We are pleased that this new initiative has made the streets safter”.
