Sri Lankan Surveillance cameras will be programmed in such a way that it will "shut down" or "Turn a blind eye" just like the security froces at the check points are programmed!!!

No more cuddling and exchange of intimate affection to each other! I think we need them at the beaches too.

Despotic leaders need spy cameras to make them feel secure. I have experienced this even in the office where I worked.

This is good though its a bit late.
Might as well make plans to safe guard the cameras from thieves.
If these cams are stolen it will very embarassing for the police.

Are these cameras going to catch errant bus drivers as they whip in and out of traffic, slam on the brakes, knocking people down, and hear the constant "horning" that comes from the buses?
