Who Watches The Watchmen?
Lothian and Borders police are considering a new scheme to reduce the incidences of traffic speed cameras being vandalised in the region: By installing CCTV cameras to monitor the speed cameras.
The world is insane, we’re all doomed, yadda yadda yadda…
Speed cameras in the Scottish Borders may soon be monitored by security cameras to protect them from vandals.
It is among the measures being considered by the Lothian and Borders Safety Camera Partnership.
There have been seven camera attacks in just three years, with machines being set alight, damaged or pulled over.
…
One option is to have cameras trained upon the cameras.
“There are companies there who would provide us with CCTV coverage of the cameras themselves - the cameras looking after the cameras kind of thing,” said Mr McNeil.
