      Would you do it?
      Of course, it's gonna be built by someone, it might just as well be me.

      (PS I think it's a huge waste of money that will be no use at all at achiving it's stated aim - i.e crime reduction)

          I actually did turn down a contract once because of ethical concerns. The company in question could be described as a glorified loan shark, a quick google of "XXXX sucks" retrieved too many pages with too many ugly stories for my liking.

          That said I was working at the time, it was only a short contract and it was a commute. If I had of been on the bench it would have been a no-brainer.
