Moscow police were sold fake CCTV cameras, streaming recordings.
- dchest 17y ago"were sold"
- mahmud 17y agofixed, thanks :-)
- noarchy 17y agoThis fraud needs to be perpetuated on a wider scale, imo. Anything to slow down the slide into a surveillance society.
- rdtsc 17y agoNote: the company claims they were hacked by competitors. I know Russian police is stupid, and they compensate for their stupidity in brutality and corruption, but I think even they would have noticed a fake feed. You know, it's snowing outside and the camera shows daylight... pretty easy to notice. I would side with the company and would claim one of the competitors hacked them, then bribed someone in the police department to make a stink => Profit.
- ZLOB-o-ZLOB 17y agoNo. Actually that company was trying to hack its competitors in addition to selling fake cameras. Also, feed wasn't under real-time monitoring, it was pulled once in hour or something like that, it hard to find details even in Russian news. And there is an error in publication: Yury Luzhkov isn't a former Mayor, he is still in charge (and won't retire in next decade, I think).
- dzlobin 17y agoUnrelated: Is your last name Zlob*? Because mine is, and that's weird.
- snitko 17y agoExcept that the mayor is not "former".
