The Trash Patrol - Security Cameras on Trash Cans!


This is an article about something I had never ever seen before in my life: the Trash Police. OK, that's not exactly correct. I can't say "Police" because I didn't see any individuals; but I did see security cameras and a sign. So that means somebody is watching.

Somebody is watching their trash can. Seriously. Really.




Nearby my house is a small apartment. I walk by there almost everyday. Yesterday I noticed something posted on the trash bin. It was a sign that said that the trash can was being monitored by security cameras.

"A man works hard for his trash. He doesn't want anyone digging through it or stealing his trash."

I guessed....




But no! This sign said there was a security camera and that the only people who could throw trash away in it were the people who lived in the apartment behind it.

That's kind of weird, I thought. Maybe somebody had thrown away a human body or some crime had been committed nearby that trash can.

Anyway, I thought I'd share it with you. You know things are getting weird when they install security cameras on trash cans.

  1. Here in the unitedstate, inside a large hardware chain store, I saw a security camera above the door for the men's restroom.
    The camera was inside the restroom, facing inward. It creep'ed me out.

Comments must be succinct & relevant to the story. Comments are checked frequently and abusive, rude or profane comments will be deleted. I’m just one of many bloggers who answer questions online and sometimes for the press. I usually handle questions about Japan, marketing or the economy, so in those areas I’m more likely to make sense and less likely to say something really stupid. If I post something here that you find helpful or interesting, that’s wonderful. This is my personal blog. If you don't like what you have read here then, just like when you go into a restaurant or bar that allows smoking, if you don't like it, there's something at the front that has hinges on it and it is called a "door."
