Today, the government of Great Britain said that more surveillance cameras with loudspeakers will be placed in the country, which will allow the security service to make comments to people who violate the rule of law.
UK Home Secretary, John Reid, has high hopes for speaking cameras and believes that they will help reduce crime. Although critics about this have a different opinion and argue that the UK is turning into a country in which everyone is suspected and is being watched by everyone (you can read about the current state of affairs

The government allocated nearly £ 500,000 (about a million US dollars) to pay for installing a network of such cameras in twenty new areas.
“A network of talking cameras is one of the ways to create a safe society,” Reid said during a speech. “These modern technologies will allow camera operators to tell a person on the street to stop or stop anti-socialism.”

The Council of Elders in Middlesbrough, where such cameras are already installed, says that the new system has helped reduce the number of different incidents. “It became noticeably cleaner in Middlesbrough when speaking cameras appeared,” said Jack Bonnar, security officer in the city.
The Liberty civic faction describes the new cameras as “a high-tech toy that gives camera operators the power to invade ordinary people.”
