Camera trial for 'lollipop' poles
Lollipop ladies (and men) have a new weapon in the battle against dangerous motorists – cameras fixed to their poles.
Three school crossing patrols in Somerset are to try out the technology to combat "lollipop rage". Mini-cameras fixed to the lollipop pole will record video and sound, capturing any "reckless drivers" in the act, a council spokesman said yesterday.
