Ca ught- by a la mp post
Citi es in t h e UK lik e London , Gl asgo w , a nd
Birmingham are fitting a new device to lamp posts in
areas which have a crime problem. It's called
Flashcam and has been developed by an American
company, QStar. It consists of a camera with a motion
sensor. If it detects a group of people in an area where
there is no reason for them to be, it shouts a warning
at them such as:Stop! If you are engaging in an iI I ega I
your photograph will be taken. PI ease leave
activ Í t1t,
the area. If people don't move, it goes off with avery
intense flash and a loud shout.Theyhave had a
positive effect in some parts of London in reducing
crime and anti-social behaviour.
