Taking out the trash:

A council is set to use secret cameras hidden in baked beans tins to catch residents putting rubbish out on the wrong day.

"To catch vandals and enviro-criminals, cameras disguised as anything from tin cans to house bricks will instantly email images to the council's CCTV control centre."

"Enviro-criminals..." The fact that such a word has been coined gives me little hope that real science and common sense will survive the century. Not that I much care, mind you; I'll be safely dead and buried by then -- where, with any luck at all, I may continue to annoy the thin-skinned and thick-witted.
