Thumbs down Westminster - hidden microphones in lamp posts?
Taken from "The Engineer" magazine.
Quote:
Westminster Council plans to install wireless microphones to lamp posts outside houses to monitor noise levels.
Should home owners make too much noise, officers will be despatched to the house.
The microphones will communicate via theinternet. Will be tested in Soho over the next few months and eventually the network will cover the whole of Westminster/

Isn't this going a bit too far?
I can see this as a point at which some may try getting free internet access.

Does anyone know anything about this?

Which ISP will they use I wonder?

Also reported here.
