Cameras To Watch Cameras In Maryland 297
Cornwallis writes in with a story reminding cameras everywhere that just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't watching you. "Many people find speed cameras frustrating, and some in the region are taking their rage out on the cameras themselves.
But now there's a new solution: cameras to watch the cameras. One is already in place, and Prince George's County Police Maj. Robert V. Liberati hopes to have up to a dozen more before the end of the year.

Sounds more like an infinite recursion, if you ask me:
installMonitoringCamera(Camera cameraToMonitor) {
Camera monitoringCamera = new Camera(cameraToMonitor);
monitoringCamera.monitor();
if(monitoringCamera.observesSomeAssholeSettingFireToMonitoredCamera())
installMonitoringCamera(monitoringCamera);
}
