Numbered CCTV is one thing (a la Westminster’s unique parking location references (UPLs?)) but texting incidents is a step further.
The cynic in me wonders if this means that the cameras are not monitored until they get a text?
Thinking further forward, why even bother having a camera: just get people to send in photos by MMS with the reference number of the nearest lampost…
Stand by for a new wave of crime – stealing mobiles of people reporting incidents…
