There are no cameras, and when they are in use, sensors are triggered.
Those behind the project, amid some delays, announced that they had eventually been rolled out just as the weather began to take a turn for the worse.

Now, just put up unscalable fencing topped with razor wire and call it Washington, DC.

The bums will be knifing one another over who gets to move in permanently.

Sounds cozy.
I just hope my cot in the FEMA reeducation camp is that comfy.
I wonder if I could upgrade to a hammock under a palm tree. Next to the Tiki Bar.

“When they are in use, sensors are triggered”
The pods can then be easily moved, and the trapped vermin released relatively unharmed into neighboring cities.

If California started using them they would cost the states and localities 100K each.
That is because of high kickback costs.
