Moscow Police Watch Pre-Recorded Scenes On Surveillance Cams 114

An anonymous reader writes "During several months of 2009, Moscow police looked at fake pictures displayed on their monitors instead of what was supposed to be video from the city surveillance cams. The subcontractor providing the cams was paid on the basis of 'the number of working cams,' so he delivered pre-cooked pictures stored on his servers. The camera company CEO has been arrested."

...oops, and by that I mean "Amen!" to the original post by "MCTFB (863774)". I agree with a whole bunch of that stuff, but most striking was "the purpose of any introductory course to anything should be to capture the interest of the people who are curious enough to take the course in the first place".
