Some cities and councils have a adopted a method whereby a van with a CCTV camera is aimed at parked vehicles at the side of the roads it patrols, and it simply records vehicle identities through number plate recognition technology that are parked illegally - on what we call 'double yellow lines' painted by the kerb. So in the old days, you'd pull over and leave the engine running on double yellows to use the ATM ten feet away, get your money, and be off in 30 seconds or less - all the while mindful of a parking attendant. Now, you've only got to be waiting at a traffic light to turn left (equivalent right in USA/Canada/etc) and the van can nail you thinking that you're parked. Not supposed to but that has happened.

Regarding CCTV cameras, I once used to be of the mind that 'if you've done no wrong, then there's nothing to fear'. But this is getting ridiculous - I have changed my opinion and now abhor this proliferation of state-sponsored spying.

We have a TV show here called Person of Interest. The story line is based on the premise that, in a city at least, everyone is almost always under camera surveillance of one sort or another.
