Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
On one corner: one borough's £1 million camera?
HARRINGAY residents and transient motorists might like to view this sub-five-minute video shot this afternoon.
It's a time-lapse over 60 minutes (link below).
It features the foot of Hewitt Road from where motorists exit, but are not permitted to turn right.
Further along the street, a different camera – a Council-controlled camera – keeps an eagle eye out for unsuspecting motorists. It records the action more regularly and more determinedly than the footage you're about to see.
Watching the video:
- Keep your eyes on the lower right of the frame: each time a vehicle turns right into Green Lanes, the figure of £180* is displayed. [*in the first of the three videos below, that should have been rendered as £130 and mentioned £65 if advantage were taken of the quick-payment deal]
- If you watch through to the end, a summary of the hour's activities and that hour's takings is displayed.
- Finally, there's a Star-Wars-like listing of the locations in Haringey where such cameras are located. Enjoy.
Enjoy ?!
Thanks for the HD video and editing go to Paul Stork

£3000-ish, that's about the fee for four minutes of copyright music used without credit or permission?

Just delete the soundtrack, if it's your edit. Or record four minutes of traffic noise, it will seem to fit.
I'm just a bit picky about copyright.

I would have thought the video falls into the "fair use" category?

It's publishing the whole of a musical work, not a short extract from a book which is the context for 'fair use'.

Pam, following your concerns about copyright, the local resident who produced this for no commercial gain, has now re-edited the audio track (that originally came from YouTube, used by millions). I've updated the link to Vimeo.
I look forward to any comments you may have on the level of cash-generation of the council's camera.

Just because the world and her sister thinks that 'I found it on the web therefore I can have it' is all you need to know about copyright law, doesn't mean she's right. Ownership remains with the creator unless assigned, and a fee is payable for all uses. I thought you should know in case the owners of the music then sued you for theft, which is what not paying for copyright breaches is classed as. Youtube takes down stuff that they find out about, that has not been uploaded by the copyright owners. Youtube T&C is not to claim copyright for itself (a "rights grab", the bane of every creator's bank balance), even Facebook doesn't do that. Proudhon was not right, unless we 100% all give everything away including working for free.
"Fair use" is for academic and critical work, not 'because I want it for personal use'.

Good. I'd far rather the council got its money from people who are breaking the law than from raising its already hefty council tax for everyone.

Aidan, isn't that like the medieval church's practice of indulgences? Excuse people doing the wrong thing - provided they have the money to pay?

Lol!

So it's fine if you pay the fine?

Nope, but surely better than the rest of us footing the clear up bill.
