From: Criminal Drivers Murder 40,000 Americans a Year on 3 Jul 2010 12:21 And of course the car criminals are whining about the "nanny state" taking away their right to drive as fast and crazy as they want and hell with the kids. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1291641/School-crossing-ladies-cameras-lollipops.html School crossing ladies with cameras in their lollipop By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 9:54 AM on 3rd July 2010 Stop... and smile: A council is testing 'lolli-cam' cameras at crossings to catch motorists who fail to stop Lollipop ladies have a new weapon against drivers who fail to stop at school crossings - secret cameras hidden in their sticks. The cameras, installed in a black strip on the pole, film for 19 seconds when the stop sign is raised vertically. It is thought this will be long enough to snap any motorist who ignores the lollipop lady's request to stop. Derek Prodger, the council's cabinet member-for transport, said: 'It's unbelievable that we have to take this action. 'The lives of children are at risk from increasing numbers of selfish drivers who are willing to put lives at risk by refusing to stop for 30 seconds at a school crossing. The patrols have the same legal status as a red light, meaning the penalty for ignoring them is a £1,000 fine or penalty points. |
