Β£50 000 worth of #windows busted by *one* angry man in #Kent - unclear what the motive was for this (nothing was stolen from either business), and it doesn't seem the businesses (a motor factors and a funeral director) were targeted for their nature (it may simply be they were in a corner of town that has an easy getaway route, as the Police turned up fairly quickly according to Facebook reports about same incident)

The #CCTV these days is of really good quality, as sharp as ITV's own news cameras!

@vfrmedia A quarter of a century ago a CCTV system was demonstrated to me. This involved starting with a wide angle view of a traffic queue stopped at a red traffic light, then zoomed in until we could read the headline on the newspaper inside the cab of the truck at the front of the queue.

1999 a high school janitor shows me he can zoom into a ship way out in the forth estuary and almost read the name of said ship
@TimWardCam @vfrmedia modern cameras you could count the captain's nostril hairs
