Beach road lights

:lol:All right. Better photos of the drag queens, LBS and Russians doing their dirty.

Pathetic. This security camera scam has been running for years. Some idiots install them, they are useless, low-resolution, don't work, are obscured by trees. Many crimes occur, proving the uselesness of the cameras as the plod slowly realise they don't work. Then a couple of years later there is another upgrade.

They didn't help me tonight being hassled, rather threateningly I thought, by some particularly nasty looking blokes right outside Royal Garden, and also on the Beach side of the road, as they importunted me to purchase illegal narcotic substances.

Why don't the police just do their jobs properly? All kinds of drugs are being dealt under their, er, noses.

But we all know the answer to that, and it's not just "unprofessional" "lazy" or "incompetent".
