Privacy And Control
A whole new bunch of weird cctv stuff has gone up recently...
Don't we all feel so much more secure ?

alenya: if I told you that, I'd have to remove it from the 'Guess where in London' Pool...

you can whisper it in my ear?

I saw this today and couldn't tell if it was a new addition or not, as though I'd maybe just noticed the elephant in the livingroom. Not sure what is more disconcerting, the fact that it was new, but seemed faintly familiar, or that it was old and I'd not noticed...
...Might the white things be IR lights?

Hmmm... Kings X?
eviltwin (83 months ago | reply)
Oooh, good guess. I've seen some pretty mad cctv round where they're doing the Kings Cross chunnel link.

nope. Not KX.
Simon seems to nknow though...
I had the same reaction as him - was on my way home and nearly fell off my scoot when I saw them. Had to go round the block and come back to take a pic. :)
I like flxy's suggstion that it's all an elaborate stereo. Where do I plug my ipod in?

It's in London Bridge... this pic is just half of it! The sloppy nature of its construction suggests that it is a temporary installation.
(Maybe a new scheme to charge pedestrians congestion?)

Looks like this is going to be a permanent fixture. They have painted all the cameras and stuff black... I think it's better that way - as you don't notice it immediately. Not that I'm ok with having this giant structure leering over the street...

I spotted another one of these things hanging over (I think) Marylebone Road.

hmmm, they'll probably be using this for shouting out things like "hey you there! yes you in the hooded top, we see you. put that down and leave the area"

It might be part of a scheme I heard about a while ago, they were talking about using wireless tech to let people pay congestion charge as they travel under these things by wireless also it'll read number plates and alert the police about fake ones
