Pub urinals use tech to warn drunk drivers
We know who you are

POLICE in Nassau Country are installing plastic censors in pub urinals that lecture punters about the perils of
drink driving.
According to WCBS 880, the device is a Wizmark Urinal Communicator which has a 3.5-inch plastic screen that displays digital files. The device recognises that it is being 'Nintendoed on' and plays an MP3 which suggest you get a cab if you have been drinking.
The Wizmark project is being be distributed free to bars located in Nassau County. We notice that something similar has not been put in the ladies, and wonder what will happen when when very drunk people find themselves engaged in an unexpected conversation with Armitage Shanks.

Yeah, funny how you have to comment on some whorehouse in Toronto, to suggest you would typical find this in Canada versus your country is a sad attack at your bitter views. Grow up and think twice before you insult this great country.
You don't really want people in the images. If you took several shots at different times and used a majority-vote algorithm on the colour of each pixel, you'd just get the buildings and inert objects. (OK, it would be harder than that but in principle some image processing should do it).
