A note of endarkenment, all TVs and monitors work both ways. There's a camera in every room. Our gov gets to legally spy on everyone through the Patriot Act.

So if nobody knows who put the camera there and to whom it belongs, how did he wind up in court over it? Somebody must have complained right? Is the justice system run by idiots or is it that corrupt? I know if that was me, that it happened to; the next time I seen someone suspicious enter that house, they would find out what a burlap sack and a baseball bat can do.

A man who objected to a CCTV camera keeping watch on his bedroom window from the house opposite appeared before a judge – for stealing the camera and throwing it in a river.



The camera had been installed in the empty house opposite Christian Lord’s home in Welsh Road, Harraby, Carlisle.

He and his girlfriend didn’t like the 24-hour monitoring of their movements, so he broke in and removed it.

The 35-year-old pleaded guilty at Carlisle Crown Court to a charge of burglary and the theft of the £1,500-worth of surveillance equipment.

He was put under 12 months’ probation supervision and ordered to undergo drugs rehabilitation.

Prosecuting counsel Jonathan Dickinson told the court it was unclear who had installed the camera, or why, although it was thought Lord’s landlords – a housing association – were responsible.

“There is no dispute that the CCTV looked out solely upon the property occupied by Mr Lord and his girlfriend,” he said.

In mitigation defence counsel Kim Whittlestone said Lord’s partner, who suffered from mental health problems, was especially troubled by the presence of the camera.

So, she said, Lord decided to get rid of it.

“He was not aware of its purpose, but he was very concerned about where it was pointing. It appeared to be pointing at his front bedroom.”

Ms Whittlestone said it was something of a mystery why the camera had been installed, because there were no reports of Lord causing any trouble or doing anything wrong in the house.

In fact, she said, he and his girlfriend still lived there. Judge Peter Hughes QC said he was puzzled by who installed the camera.

“Under what authority was it done?” he asked. “There are human rights considerations here.”
