More and more of our life is being caught on surveilence cameras. Most of us don’t like it, but are willing to put up with it in the name of ‘security’.
The UK, in particular, has more of its streets ‘protected’ by cameras owned by one level of government or another…. 13 million CCTV’s, if one is to believe the reports. Surely, there must be some more use for them than simply to employ bureaucrats to manage all these video records!
Well, perhaps there is. ‘The Get Out Clause’, an unsigned band from Manchester, had a brilliant idea.
They needed to make a video. They had no video equipment….perhapt the taxes were so high, their ‘take-home’ pay was just too small. What to do, what to do….
Well, they DID pay (at least, partially) for some of these public cameras, right? So, they should get some value out of them, right?
And they surely did!
The only catch? They had to use the ‘Freedom to Information Act’ to get their footage….
Still, if you can’t not pay for them, you might as well play up to them!
