French City To Use CCTV For Parking Fines

Posted by Soulskill on from the nos-rendimos dept.

horza writes "The city of Nice, France is rolling out 626 CCTV cameras throughout town, giving it one of the highest levels of surveillance in the world (1.8 cameras per 1000 inhabitants). The usual rhetoric was given — that they will be used solely for reducing violent crime — but the city will now begin sending out parking tickets solely based on the CCTV video evidence."

    I'll tell you what else is worse than living in East Germany under the Stazi: queue-jumpers. If you've ever been buggered by an elephant, you'll know just how bad queue-jumping is. Man, I would rebuild the Wall *myself*, hand the gate-keys to Mugabe and go live on the other side if I knew for sure that the queue-jumpers would be kept out.

    Of course, they'll probably be there before me. Motherfucking queue-jumpers.
