    All they need is that face-recognition system (part of the biometric ID card project) linked to the auto fine issuing system and we'll be getting them through the post for picking our nose in public soon.

    '“Talking” CCTV cameras that will reprimand and embarrass those up to no good in full public view are to be introduced in a number of locations across''

    I'm looking forward to the council employees doing the usual of staring through some young ladies windows whilst holding the mic open.
