But who will watch the watchers of the watchers?
Evertone in the UK (especially drivers) hates those damn speed cameras. So much so in fact that people have taken to attacking them from their blindside to put them out of action.
And so, in an obvious but still shockingly Orwellian turn of events, the police are now setting up CCTV cameras to watch over the speed cameras and catch people attacking them.
This country gets weirder every year, and the rate of change of weirdness is definitely accelerating.

I have a friend who live over in Australia and they’ve had “red light cameras” for well over 10 years.
They are on freeways, roads and intersections. They don’t make the states just millions… the revenue combined would be in the hundreds of millions for the whole nation.
And considering the size of Australia’s population, imagine the money raised if implemented here!
