Pleepsie Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 I think he was self employed..and, further training or a refresher is all that is required. In this instance..it is classed as a near miss. In this instance it should be classed as 'nothing whatsoever happened' If, for example, the guy had dropped a hammer, and it fell to the ground missing someone by a few inches - that would be a near miss.

piggywiggie Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 back to CCTV did anyone else expect them to be a lot bigger by the size o poles that were put up? They dont look that big to me...but then again they are up high....and im not very tall so maybe they just look small to me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandpeat Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I did not think I said CCTV was a good thing if opened to abuse, in some folks minds, but I was imlying that the sudden increase in CCTV is a result of other folks attitude towards others wishes. Driving without insurance for instance is a whole lotta selfishness. It causes no end of problems, so these folk NEED to be taken offa the road in the legal state they are in and addressed. A near miss, is when someone has to step over the machinery in question. Or has to side step a camera box at the top of stone steps.To say it is nothing, ok, against procedure, if that is the wording you may be looking for? CCTV is here, get to see it in action and then comment, tis all fear mongering, nothing has happened yet, really.... I know the papers are full of folks letters, highlighting their fears of this... Maybe then someone may address it.... Are the council meetings held in camera? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twerto Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I know Damnsaxon will shout at me for thinking liek this.. but the Cameras that ahve been put up on the street fit in pretty well IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones we have here vary in size between cricket ball size and football size. (Round so that they can rotate easily.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastie Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 ^^ Probably not I certainly didn't see any when I was there in August, but then I was only up there for three days and stayed in Cunningsburgh. (BTW, eleven grand is a really good amount to raise for that walk, well done. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pleepsie Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/crime/article6862398.ece Britain, already one of the most snooped-upon nations on Earth, is about to become a nation of snoopers. A network of citizen crimewatchers will be given the chance of winning up to £1,000 by monitoring CCTV security cameras over the internet. The cameras’ owners will pay a fee to have users watch the footage. The scheme, Internet Eyes, is being promoted as a game and is expected to go “live†next month with a test run in Stratford-upon-Avon. Subscribers will be able to register free and will be given up to four cameras to monitor. Well, that didn't long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filskadacat Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Mate of mine just posted this on Facebook (he is the Alex Deane referred to). Just in case anyone thought I might actually read the Sun! http://www.thesun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/news/2677993/Shocking-rise-in-the-use-of-CCTV-cameras-in-Scotland.html Shetland Islands Council, one of Scotland's smallest local authorities, have 30 more CCTV devices than San Francisco Police Department, who have just 71.

Sherlock Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 In point of fact, I believe the actual content of the report, from the BBC, detailed that these figures are for cameras per 1,000 head of population. That may put rather a different light on things for some herein. I remain, as ever, Your faithful servant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostrider Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 ^^ Probably not. After all who's going to sit and watch the monitors, those who will jump at the chance of the job are the very curtain-twitching, stirring gossips who should not be allowed within 100 yards of the monitors in the first place, and anyone that is of character that would do the job responsibly is only likely to accept such a boring soul destroying job if there's a gun to their head.
