but note in the UK this was a major scandal, £250m of compensation paid, etc, rather than business as normal
- geoffpado 6y agoI mean… the fact that it’s in the news and notable enough that it was voted to the front page of HN suggests that it isn’t exactly “business as usual” in the US, either. Your link suggests it took six years for the Metropolitan Police to admit wrongdoing. This camera was found last week. Let’s give it time to actually blow up to “scandal” proportions.
- jacobush 6y agoI don’t know man, I hope this blows up to scandal levels in this case, but I have been hearing about these power pole cameras for a long time.
