this is for the curtain-twitchers & community-snitchers, "their out there!" bolt your doors, lock up your daughers.

It a lovely sunny day, the last day of november, not long past twelve, the location according to the view-finder is the foot of brunel's famous bridge, so positioned at smeaton road,hotwells,all that was left as they say"just a little speck of dust on the lense" and the noise of a car-alarm. 3 vans had their windscreens cracked, 2 were mobile cctv vans & the other was a security. This was just a small token for the distaste felt for being constantly watched, that so many people vocalise,but ultimately feel powerless to act,. There will be more actions like this so keep your eyes open, a view to a thrill, you'd think day-time in the city & cctv they'd have our lives sewn-up........not so, Still chucking rocks in the free world.

CCTV vans in Bristol

05.12.2013 09:10

March 2007 saw the official launch of the Bedminster CCTV scheme. Working in partnership with the Southville Local Action Group and the police, Safer Bristol Partnership has placed 10 high specification cameras in Bedminster that will watch over East Street and three of the area's car parks.

Safer Bristol Partnership has contributed £210,000 to the five-year scheme, but many local retailers are also contributing to the running costs.

On 5 September 2007, staff of the Emergency Control Centre were asked to assist the Serious and Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) at very short notice in carrying out surveillance on criminals who had travelled to Bristol that day from Wales and the Midlands to carry out a drugs transaction.

The operation ended with the arrest of six persons and the recovery of £120,000 in cash and 100kgs of cannabis resin.

The commander of SOCA has written a letter of appreciation praising the professionalism of the team in Emergency Control and commenting that the assistance provided was invaluable and the CCTV evidence obtained will no doubt prove pivotal to the trial.
