If a police officer monitoring one of the many HD CCTV cameras think you are going to commit a crime, they will bath you in a red light.  Watch for more.

Looks like I've got an idea for a new game!


Also, gives a new meaning to "Red Light District", huh?

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

It would be much more cool and instructive to suddenly see a red laser dot on your chest.

It will probably see use following some officer's wayward wife. Just as she's about to go into BF's building, red light.  :laugh:

In the last part they shine a light on a cartoon pedophile approaching a cartoon kid on a slide.  :lol: LOL

I don't know what to think of this. Concerning surveillance of civilians it is just the cherry on the cake. They are already spying on you whether you know it or not. I can see it easily abused to harass individuals. If every time you walk down the street you get illuminated it would certainly make anyone begin to feel stressed out. On the other hand it is useful to know when the people behind the cameras have taken an interest in you. If they take to shining the light on to traffic then it might be a safety issue. My best guess is that 90% of the time it will be used to disturb people who are attempting public urination or jay walking. If the camera operators are held accountable for misuse (have to be able to justify every instance they turn it on) then it would be better I suppose, but I don't see that happening. What parameters will be used to decide whether someone gets shined or not ?

Use color patterns to make the shirt illegible except when illuminated with a red light.

Maybe they can combine this with that new radar weapon that simulates burning - that way they can zap you if the light fails to result in total compliance.

Put enough of them out there and you could have some pretty safe streets, comrades.

Assuming the lights are close to the cameras, all it would take is a wavelength-dependent retroreflector . . .
