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."

    But the knife cuts both ways: Think about pulling that shit on me, and I will pull it on you. Even after jail and death I could get you. I would just have to publicly release the material “showing” your “crimes”. ^^

    But it will be a rough world, when everybody has to look out for that all the time...
    Maybe small communities will make it illegal and punishable by death to photoshop you into something like that.
