Moscow Police Watch Pre-Recorded Scenes On Surveillance Cams

Posted by samzenpus on from the I-always-feel-like-nobody-is-watching-me dept.

An anonymous reader writes "During several months of 2009, Moscow police looked at fake pictures displayed on their monitors instead of what was supposed to be video from the city surveillance cams. The subcontractor providing the cams was paid on the basis of 'the number of working cams,' so he delivered pre-cooked pictures stored on his servers. The camera company CEO has been arrested."

    Yep. I don't normally advocate violence, but suppose you're guilty in the eyes of everyone anyway and there's nothing you can do about that, because people willingly rely on crappy evidence to brand you guilty, then frankly there's nothing wrong with having a large bomb explode at some large-staffed government facility or other. Of course, if you get life in prison in the first place there'll be no chance for revenge, so in the mean time vote for whatever party is the most sensible in these matters and leave economic policies out of your vote for a change.
