Street offenders on Teesside are being shamed by "talking" CCTV cameras.
Seven cameras in Middlesbrough town centre have a facility, which allows operators to bark orders at those involved in anti-social behaviour.

Officials hope the additions to the town's 160 cameras will help to further reduce street crime.

It is the latest crime prevention move for Middlesbrough, whose elected mayor is Ray Mallon, the former senior police officer who was dubbed Robocop.

Barry Coppinger, Middlesbrough Council's executive member for community safety, said: "CCTV is making Middlesbrough safer and this added facility will make it more effective.

They should make it Tom Baker in his "Little Britain" guise.

I'd like to be the person who person who mans the microphone when this is in use:

"GET AWAY FROM THAT CAR YOU WORTHLESS CHARVER CUNT. YOU DESERVE TO DIE AND SOON YOU WILL."

"CAN'T YOU FIND A BETTER PLACE TO FUCK THAN THAT??!?!? SHOW SOME FUCKING CLASS FOR FUCK'S SAKES."

Why not just broadcast the James Whale Show over the loudspeakers? It would have the same effect.

i heard him the other week on the work radio, he was sitting in on a morning show.

fucking terrifying!

― EARLY-90S MAN (Enrique), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 09:31 (twenty years ago)

They used to broadcast his late night radio show live on TV in the mid-late '80s and possibly even the early '90s. Highlight: JW frogmarching a pissed Wayne Hussey out of the building.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 09:35 (twenty years ago)

That was the only highlight ever

Yeah, I'm struggling to remember other ones. He had Linda Nolan in a lot.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 09:40 (twenty years ago)

No, there was another one. What it was, I can't remember...

No, but, in case you hadn't noticed, there are rather a lot of clip shows on the television these days

James Whale was about a billion times better post-pub telly than that Big Brother tosser conning stuuuuuuuuupid sub-proles out of their family allowance.

that's about putting a spy camera out to catch people who put their trash out on the wrong day, or in the wrong place. and drug dealers.

i have an idea: why not put cameras every 30 feet along all streets and alleyways and have them all connected to a central camera watching centre in london where tens of thousands of employees could monitor them?

― lfam, Sunday, 17 June 2007 06:30 (nineteen years ago)

having all these different cameras for trash, traffic, terrorists, etc. - it's so complicated! you need to streamline!

― lfam, Sunday, 17 June 2007 06:31 (nineteen years ago)

that is A MODEST PROPOSAL
