Real-LIfe Distributed-Snooping Web Game To Launch In Britain

Posted by timothy on from the no-room-for-abuse-there dept.

corerunner writes "A new internet game is about to be launched which allows 'super snooper' players to plug into the nation's CCTV cameras and report on members of the public committing crimes. The 'Internet Eyes' service involves players scouring thousands of CCTV cameras installed in shops, businesses and town centres across Britain looking for law-breakers. Players who help catch the most criminals each month will win cash prizes up to £1,000."

    Wow, and to think that we thought things were bad in the US. Even Dick Cheney never dreamed of anything like this.

    I wonder who's snooping on the snoopers?
