Big Brother: watching AND barking out orders!

No doubt this will be coming to a street corner near you real soon. The cameras are already there...just look up once in a while. Our British brothers are not only being watched, but their big gov't is shouting out orders to law breaking Brits:

Big Brother is not only watching you - now he's barking orders too. Britain's first 'talking' CCTV cameras have arrived, publicly berating bad behavior and shaming offenders into acting more responsibly.

The system allows control room operators who spot any anti-social acts - from dropping litter to late-night brawls - to send out a verbal warning: 'We are watching you'.

Middlesbrough has fitted loudspeakers on seven of its 158 cameras in an experiment already being hailed as a success. Jack Bonner, who manages the system, said: 'It is one hell of a deterrent. It's one thing to know that there are CCTV cameras about, but it's quite another when they loudly point out what you have just done wrong.

How quaint! I'm sure these loudspeakers will be quite effective when irate radicals hit the streets protesting 14th century emperors.
