Schoolchildren recruited by councils to spy on neighbours who commit 'environmental crimes'

"Children are being offered money by councils to spy on neighbours and report petty offences such as 'bin crimes' and dog-fouling.

The youngsters are among 5,000 residents encouraged to photograph or video neighbours in the act of 'environmental crimes'.

In some cases children as young as eight, are being bribed with rewards of £500 for passing on the names of neighbours or taking down their car registration numbers.

The Daily Telegraph found that one in six councils out of 240 contacted admitted to signing up the 'environmental volunteers.'

Councils using the methods include Luton, Southwark, Birmingham, Blaenau Gwent, and Congleton, Cheshire.

A spokeswoman for Ealing council, west London, told the paper: 'There are hundreds of Junior Streetwatchers, aged eight to 10-years-old, who are trained to identify and report environmental crime issues such as graffiti and fly-tipping.'

Harlow council in Essex told them: 'We currently have 25 Street Scene Champions who work with the council. They are all aged between 11 to 14.

'They are encouraged to report the aftermath of enviro-crimes such as vandalism to bus shelters, graffiti, abandoned vehicles, fly-tipping etc. They do this via telephone or email direct to the council.'

Last week, Mail Online revealed that town hall snoopers armed with police powers are issuing 'wanted' photographs of suspected litterbugs."

Det känns som att sådana här projekt är inte till för att eliten är intresserade i småbrott utan att skapa rädsla.

Alla busschaufförer i USA ingick i sådana här projekt, lägga märke till suspekta individer. Samma sak.

Det är till för att skapa rädsla; skapa en ANGIVARSTAT!
