Doubt it Bonnyboy .. let them try ...
I listened to this too, and was appalled by the abuse these people have to put up with, V-signs, spitting, verbal abuse, physical threats, etc. They are trained in how to deal with it, basically, just ignore and, if possible, report the incident later.
Seems the trial on these cameras have cut down the abuse, so can only be a good thing.
Two complaints they receive were of showing only one child across the road at a time but, obviously, could be waiting a good 10 minutes to 15 minutes before another child requires escorting across the road, and the child waiting may become impatient and run across themselves.
Showing groups of parents across, who had dropped their children off at school and on the return journey. The Lollipot lady did explain that they were allowed to do this. The worst offenders were parents who were dropping their kids off BY CAR at the same primary school !! Can you imagine !!
Loved the one with the Blackburn Lollipop man who was being given a load of verbal, but the good old Northern mothers soon showed their disapproval of his behaviour.
