Never needed a police car to watch another police car!

Once robots become useful to "road safety", heaven help us!

Could be a good early warning looking for a cctv camera on a lamp post.

In Northern Ireland once they put up a CCTV camera on a pole on the falls road.

That night the locals, ripped the wiring out of it.

So the next week they put up another and welded the door shut, so the locals knocked it over with a 4x4.

The nest week the build a bollard around the base, so the locals followed the fresh tarmac and burned out the control unit.

The next week they welded that shut and built a bollard around that too, so the locals shot the camera out with a rifle...

Then they gave up on CCTV...
