You know, I think I know what’s going to happen here:
A council is to hide a camera in a bin bag to catch residents who do not follow new rules about putting out the rubbish.
…
To enforce the new rules, a camera will be placed in a rubbish bag and
left in an alleyway to blend in with the surroundings to catch
offenders. Those filmed breaking the rules will be given a ticking off.
…
The tiny covert camera, which has cost Weymouth and Portland Council,
Dorset, up to £10,000, will also help catch householders who put their
rubbish out too early or too late.
…
Mr Bury said the device will not be hooked up to a control room and staff will study the footage after a few hours filming.
He
said refuse collectors will be alerted as to when and where it will
placed in bin bags to stop them carting it off as rubbish.
A terribly interesting new sport for the burghers of Weymouth, don’t you think? Exactly the sort of thing that would, in years gone by, appeal to my nephews in fact. Where is the camera? Ooooh, look, could it be that bag over there? My, my, these people, fly tipping rubbish. We’ll have to put it in the proper pile, the one for the dustmen to collect.
Munch munch, crunch crunch, byee to another £10,000 of the ratepayer’s money.
What fun, eh?
