Welcome to 1984

The government is further rolling out a trial of speaking CCTV camera. These feature attached speakers so when ne'er do wells are spotted they can be shouted at to cease and desist. It's probably a good idea, in that perpetrators know they're being watched, but it does sound a great deal like 1984 and it's ilk - instructions being blared at the submissive workers to get on their way and stay on the straight and narrow.
