Here is a good idea... er....

Mobile CCTV to keep eye on park BBC report

Rangers at a newly Middlesbrough's re - furbished Albert Park spark are using CCTV in their van to cut the "threat of anti-social behaviour."

The equipment in the £12,000 scheme will be used for areas not covered by static cameras.

The aim is to "reassure park users" and tackle problems such as underage drinkers, assaults and thefts.

Park manager Stuart Johnson: "We thought it would be a good idea to put a mobile CCTV camera in the van to cover the blind spots.

"It is also a back-up and deterrent to help the staff who work every day in the park from early in the morning to late hours at night."

Now forgive me if I'm wrong, but it needs a person looking at the screen, sat in the van that has the camera attached. Now could that person be walking about checking on the park ? So we spend £12,000 so this guy can sit down and watch a monitor all day instead of patrolling ? That doesn't seem like a good use of time ...or money to me.

Stuart Johnson thinks it is a good idea - I think it's a time and money wasting idea.
