London Police Seek To Install CCTV In Pubs
JCWDenton writes "The Met Police got a short sharp rap over the knuckles yesterday, as the Office of the Information Commissioner questioned what looks very much like a blanket
policy to force CCTV onto public houses in certain parts of London. The story begins with a letter to the Guardian last week, from Nick Gibson. He is currently renovating Islington pub The Drapers Arms, after its previous owners allowed it to go insolvent and then disappeared. In his letter, he argues that if he had merely taken over an existing licence, the police could not have imposed any additional conditions. However, because this was now a new licence, the police were able to make specific requests, including one particular request in respect of installing CCTV."
I read this when it went up on The Register, 5 days ago. Can people please check the timestamp before submitting/approving stories? The normal 2 or 3 days old news is just about passable, but 5 days is getting silly.

Man walks into a bar and orders a drink.
"Barman, would you like to hear a blond joke?" says the man.
The barman leans over with a serious look in his eyes. "Before you tell your joke, let me tell you five things", he said. "I'm blond and I have a baseball bat under the bar. The doorman is blond and weighs as much as a horse. My wife is blond can carry a barrel of beer under each arm. The cleaner is blond with a black belt in karate. And finally, the gentlemen at the end of the bar is blond, ex-SAS with a screw loose"
The barmen maintains eye contact with the man. "You still want to tell your joke?"
"No way! Not if I've got explain it five times!"

Neither did he. The one who abused his position is the theif who got caught on camera, i.e. you. I mean, ummm, your friend.

As opposed to an optional law?
