Ahead of G20 summit, council told to switch off illegal £15m CCTV network

The security operation at this week's G20 summit was thrown into chaos last night when it emerged that the entire network of central London's wireless CCTV cameras will have to be turned off because of a legal ruling.

The Department for Transport (DfT) has ruled that Westminster council's mobile road cameras - a third of the authority's CCTV network - "do not fully meet the resolution standards required" and must be switched off by midnight tomorrow.

The blackout begins on the eve of the summit, when world leaders arrive in the capital and protesters take to the streets.

The council only discovered last week that images from its newly installed £15m traffic cameras do not meet the quality required under the Traffic Management Act, which comes into force on 1 April.

Another side to this my friend. Who will be watching the heavy handed police??? Not the people, filming of cozzers is banned in the UK.

It is amazing what technical problems appear, when required of course.

Any protestor who goes anywhere London needs to wake up. You are walking into a set up.

Non compliance. That is how you deal with the government.

Fun, fun, fun.

Now after these riots, new laws will be rolled out banning all group gatherings, peaceful protest and god nows what else.

Do you ever consider the consequences of any actions. Is everything "fun"?

No there won't. And when they don't happen I want you to come back here and admit you were over stimulated and being a bit silly.

i remember the last time they rioted, they wrecked a Mc Donalds in London,apparently they singled out the company as part of their anti globalisation war. but apparently they met up earlier at another Mc Donalds for breakfast to organise the attack.:rolleyes:
