Frederick Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I see on this mornings news Police Officers are to trial a camera worn like a pencil tucked behind the ear to video record all they see and hear while dealing with incidents .I wonder how long it will be before some TV company is offering big money for the recordings ..and... if it sorts out the hooligan behaviour problems in towns.. . will teachers get to wear them next to show parents of difficult kids what they behave like in school ?..... The use of these cameras could spread into all sorts of job situations . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Do you mean in the UK or here? It is really getting scary, you can be filmed or photographed at any time without knowing it. Someone you think is using their mobile can be filming or taking photos, now pencils. [:(]We must be at our best and very polite at all times.

Frederick Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 Sorry Christine .....I should have mentioned its a UK news item ......makes you wonder though how many people will be happy to chat to the bobby on the beat with a camera sticking out from behind his ear pointing at you .. getting more like the Si-Fi comics every day .....I suppose their boss can see what they are up to if he tunes in from the Police Station as well ?

Dog Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I thought these cameras had been trialled for a couple of years.Remember you due have the right to request to see pictures taken of you in a public place.If we all asked to see the pictures on a daily basis the system would ground to a halt.I have videoed the police before now and they do not like it - so I guess all is fair.One tip in bad light when they use infrared is to hold a small bright torch under your face - it reeks havoc with the exposure and your face will just be a white hole.

Christine Animal Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Thank you Dog, that's exactly what I shall do. It might be an improvement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Dog - you have no right to view pictures of you taken in or from a public place. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 You certainly do with the Police cameras, specs and speed cameras.I have never been refused CCTV footage though most is such poor quality I wonder why they bother to take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
