They want to install cctv cameras around Queenstowns waterways in order to crack down on boaties braking the rules, and back up accusations with "...solid video proof..."
I just thought this was the best quote from Andy Brinsley the Director of Kawarau Jet boating operations:
"The [harbormaster] can't be everywhere simultaneously."
I just thought that was a great line. Is that what surveillance systems are trying to acheive? The idea that they can be everywhere simultaneously>? watching all from a point of power? Shit, does this sound Orwellian to anybody else? Not to mention the fact that lakes and rivers are right in that gray zone that may, with measures like this flick over into that realm of private and controlled space....
