This is a normal post What a spanner!
I hope some chav scum were nicking his bike while he, so cleverly and rebelliously, wasted police time.
Why doesn't the prick have curtains if he's so bothered about people looking into his flat ?

This is a normal post wasting police time?
seems pretty quiet round there though, and the policemen obviously all got out their cars to have a look at the costume.

This is a normal post Why is he a spanner?
Someone dressed up as an alien and walked about the streets. What exactly did he do wrong. It was the police's decision to come out and have a word. I wasn't aware it was illegal to dress up as an 8ft tall alien.
Why should he have to buy curtains? By not having curtains he's not inviting the police to look into his flat. By videoing his flat without permission the police are actually breaching privacy laws, so are committing a crime themselves.

This is a normal post The cops didn't know wtf was going on:
..they see some weird fecker walking down the street and (you might not fully appreciate this) are duty bound to check it out. Wasn't that EXACTLY what the guy in the alien suit wanted ? He didn't do anything wrong and was not detained by the police other than to explain what the deal was. As you say, It's not illegal to dress up as an 8ft alien - who said it was ?? The police didn't charge him, didn't arrest him, just checked him out.
This guy is smart enough to set this whole thing up but apparently not smart enough to take a picture of the surveillance camera looking directly into his flat and make an official complaint. That wouldn't stop regular passers-by looking into his flat - I assume he's ok with that, no chance of getting burgled with all those cameras about.

This is a normal post I'm pretty sure that dressing weird doesn't mean
they weren't duty bound to do anything at all. If they had to check it out every time someone did that there'd be a lot less goths about.

As for CCTV stopping burglaries - I saw two guys breaking into Littlewoods on Sauciehall St at 2am. The front was covered by CCTV so they went round the back. As the statistics show - CCTV does naff all to reduce crime, it just moves it around.

This is a normal post The uni I work at has been broken in to 4 times in the last two weeks
by the same guy. he's been caught giving the "V" sign to the CCTV cameras. He knows they are there he just doesn't care.

This is a normal post I don't know for sure..
..but creating a situation that deliberately provokes a response sounds to me like wasting police time.

This is a normal post "STOP! Armed police!"
"What seems to be the problem?"
"You're dressed up as Uncle Fester."
"I'm not. I look like this because I spend so much time in my basement molesting children that I've abducted from parks."
"Ah. Sorry, carry on. We've just had a reported sighting of a Jedi in Hammersmith."

This is a normal post how many cameras?
The annoying thing about this video is the oft quoted "there are over 4 million cameras in the uk".
This is a bullshit figure that appeared out of a 2002 study that only actually counted the cameras on Putney High Street, and then they used this figure to estimate how many are in all of the uk.
