The cameras are there as much for your protection as the bank's, how else would they know the person doesn't match the ID presented, and if there was money withdrawn from your account by someone naughty, the video serves as rock-solid evidence against them in court and can aid considerably in discovering their true identity and lead to their capture much faster.
 
Candid camera

In this area the law requires a mirror in corner of elevator so entering passengers can be sure no one is lurking in the corner of the car/cab.

Most of the time it's a "2-way" mirror with a camera behind it. A friend who lives in a fancy co-op bldg says people don't know they are on camera and will fondle each-other, kiss, adjust undergarments. (fix wedgie) etc.

Makes for great reality television I suppose.
 
street cameras

Some cities here want to put (or have already) installed street cameras to INDISCRIMINATELY see who passes on the street.

I have hear that there is now technology that can compare "mug-shots" from a data base to just such images.

Scary huh?

IMHO, and as I have said before, like it or not with technology, we all live in glass houses now, so instead of getting embarassed that your do-dad is getting air (or should I say air-time by being broacast!) One must simply pee elegently and not fuss.
 
we have a club in london....

we have a club in london where the ladies and gents toilets back onto one another.

The block of urinals has a huge mirror behind them, and YES its a one way mirror terminating in the girls bathroom, so the ladies can kinda check out the good before they purchase so to speak, and the lads think there just stairing at the wall!
 
more bodily functions

When I first met Dennis, he was a humble janitor at Minneapolis/Saint Paul International Airpit. He did most of his work at the Humphrey charter terminal-away from the main airport.

So one day, he closes off one of the restrooms and cleans it top to bottom. After a while, when the floor was dry again, he went to take down the closed sign and do the final inspection. On the floor, next to the toilet in this perfectly clean restroom was a huge TURD. Nothing else had been disturbed at all. So of course he had to round up all his cohorts and show them and they all about died laughing.

It was really fun when he worked there. He and his co-worker Molly used to get their work done early, then take little naps in the jetways. People always ditch their porn and funny sex toys at the airport. The dispensers for those paper butt gaskets for the toilet seats are a great place to ditch your joints before getting on the airplane (thank you whoever!)

mrsalvo-don't think you can escape the stupidity of the general public in the appliance industry. People are the same all over.
Just last friday some really great customers of mine from Lahaina brought in their daughter and son in law (son-out-law more like) to buy a dryer. Saturday morning when I came in, there was a message on my phone machine saying that the dryer didn't work. I immediatly called them and said I would be out in the afternoon to take care of it. Same day service wasn't good enough for this guy though. He had to come down to the shop to call me a "f*&^ing Haole" to my face. Good thing Dennis was with me that day because this guy was going off in a real irrational way.

When I got to thier house later I found that there was no power at the outlet (which I suspected from the get-go) but of course I didn't get an apology. Turns out this guy has a bad reputation (which has a way of getting 'round on this island) and has spent time at Maui County Correctional Center. FREAK
 
Restrooms

I walked into a bar in Toronto, Canada and noticed every last patron was a guy. So I stupidly said out loud "Hmm, I wonder where all the ladies are" BEFORE The lights went on in my head... The bartender yells out, try the ladies' room. Well OK...

The men's room was a rest-room. The doorway next to it was marked "Ladies'. It was another exit to the street! Subtle, huh?

LOL OH BOY did I get the point quick!!!
 
Running the yellow-changing-to-red traffic signals is a chronic problem here (as everywhere) but we now have technology that photos the intersection, captures license plate numbers which is randomly monitored by big brother. If caught, you get a ticket in the mail. They say testing of this system will begin soon and to start, warnings will be mailed instead of tickets.

"Every move you make, every step you take, I'll be watching you..."
 
Peek-a- boo

That would even work on poof night. Just re-label doors top and bottom.
 
Overhere in the Netherlands we already have neigbourhoods that are watched by camera (not in my neighbourhood!).

We already have intersections that are being watched by cameras.

There are quite a few small villages with a main road through it that installed cameras that catch you if you drive too fast.

Almost every cash machine here has a camera on it. Pictures of people who use a stolen debet card get shown on TV.

Most shops overhere have camera's too. Pictures used on TV too. I especially like the local crime programme, once we saw a client of us caught on camera!

Overhere at our cityhall the new technology for biometric passports is tested. This technology is going to be used for the new passports that will be required for us when we want to travel to the US. If you don't have such a passport you have to apply for a visa. With the new passport you can travel to the US without applying for a visa in advance.

And I could go on and on, big brother is watching us!!
 
technology

To go to Cuba we have to fly to Mexico and leave from there (communism/politics, etc)

This may have to stop if we ever upgrade our passports and systems.

The joke here is we should have "Blockbuster video" Track people. If your video tape is ONE day late you get a notice.
The Gov't on, the other hand, has *questionable* people asking in aviation school how to "steer" a 747 (but not take-off or land) and lets them jump their visas!
