Dear All
Just to clarify Peter's point: I didn't see the news report BUT we do have a
number of sites where ANPR (police vehicle recognition) cameras mounted on
the to of signal heads, could this have been that?
PS: for those of you who knew Gerry Garraghan here in Ipswich, I have taken
over from him.

Subject: [TCUG] Stand by for MVD vandalism!
Anyone who watched BBC news last night (16 Jan 08), may have seen the
report on how the suspected serial killer of five girls in the south was
caught. His vehicle was spotted on a number of CCTV cameras,
including...... one on top of a traffic signal head, suspiciously
looking identical to an AGD Microwave Vehicle Detector! This was zoomed
into to give a very clear image.
Now, in view of the fact that we have suffered a small amount of
vandalism in the past by people who suspected that these were cameras, I
would now expect many more incidents of vandalism to these units as a
direct result of the BBC report; I shall be monitoring DF faults very
carefully for a while.
If incidents of vandalism rise unusually, I wonder if we could claim
against the BBC? Or, is anyone aware of MVD's being used covertly?
