"flash-equipped camera with robotic American accent"

I guess the polite `British' accent wasn't threatening enough.

Failure: `I say, old bean - pop along! You can't be shirking 'round here, mate!'

Success: `Move yer goddamned ass or I'll pump it full of lead and sh*t!'

Typical Labour, they only have two modes, ignore and overreact, like most politicians I suppose. Judging from the councillors response he's moved into the ignore position now.

"For God's sake, if someone doesn't want us to do it then okay, fine... We were doing it as an experiment to try and make sure these young men, these yobbos do not cause harassment to these residents. The idea is to do them [the residents] a favour, to do them a service. If they don't want it, fine."

That's some ~~fine~~ petulant councilling you're doing there, Lou.

What a sentry with an American accent might look like.

It works better when you alternate between polite English and Scottish.

English: 'I say would you mind awfully moving along, your not supposed to be here."
Scottish "I seed move or ill fecking cut ye ya wee coont."

England is a pretty big embarrassment, do the people who live there actually like all that monitoring?

"The voice messages will be deactivated as soon as possible."

However, scanning of citizens just walking by and the threat of criminal prosecution will remain. Sleep tight.

The computers used for that scene were Bondwell B310 laptops. I have one that still works. I put Minix on it. Unfortunately it has the monochrome LCD screen instead of the plasma screen, like the ones in the film, but I figure I get at least partial credit.

Since the system they bought is American and is used in the US a lot it seems odd to criticise the UK for having one....

FTFA Camden council says sorry for installing flash-equipped camera with robotic American accent that takes indiscriminate pictures

At first, I wasn't sure they were trolling, what with the camera telling everyone, even residents, that they would be prosecuted...but the American accent clinches it. Definitely trolling. Good job council!

they don't just have one...

Per capita there are more surveillance cameras in the UK than any other country in the world - more than a million according to one recent estimate.
