"Robocops" to hit the streets!
The South Wales Evening Post 28-4-07 reports that Robocops are to hit the streets in the 21st century Swansea. How much more money is to be spent on technology, when what we really need are policemen on the beat. Surely a simple hand held video camera would do the job? At a cost of some £4000 per kit (and four have been bought already) this would pay towards the wage of one more police constable to keep crime off the streets of Mumbles. LET US HAVE YOUR VIEWS PLEASE.
