Moscow Police Watch Pre-Recorded Scenes On Surveillance Cams 114

An anonymous reader writes "During several months of 2009, Moscow police looked at fake pictures displayed on their monitors instead of what was supposed to be video from the city surveillance cams. The subcontractor providing the cams was paid on the basis of 'the number of working cams,' so he delivered pre-cooked pictures stored on his servers. The camera company CEO has been arrested."

I live outside the cities around me, on a farm in the country. As much as I would love to have broadband access, none is available to me (save satellite...) Also, the area I live in has poor phone lines, so I can't even get 56K rates! I assume that there will be people such as myself for the forseeable future... cable/dsl is just not available outside cites, and there is a sizeable portion of the US that does not live in/close enough to a city.
