Nabbed with their zips down September 28 2004 at 02:16PM Hong Kong - Anybody answering the call of nature in Hong Kong's back alleys should be on alert: Big Brother may be watching. Authorities have installed closed-circuit TV cameras in five locations. Hong Kong Home Affairs spokesperson Cindy Yu said on Monday that the surveillance has led to the prosecution of 29 people over the past two months for hygiene offences. They included six men caught relieving themselves and other people apprehended washing dishes and dumping trash in areas that are off limits, the South China Morning Post reported on Monday. The paper said fines of up to HK$2 000 (about R1 600) had been levied. Yu said the filming was a "pilot project" that had proven quite useful and would now be expanded. Officials originally envisioned installing 100 cameras in 18 districts as part of a clean-up campaign in reaction to last year's Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome crisis, but it's unclear how many more cameras they will add. - Sapa-AP iol.co.za
