FBI US uses digital billboards

The FBI wants to install 150 digital billboards in 20 major U.S. cities to show fugitive mug shots, missing people and high-priority security messages from the big bureau. The billboards will let the FBI highlight those people it is looking for the most: violent criminals, kidnap victims, missing kids, bank robbers, even terrorists. And the billboards will be able to be updated largely in real-time -right after a crime is committed, a child is taken, or an attack is launched (nw). The world as well as organizations are becoming real-time. Soon we will directly see the shots of a burglary on a neighborhood billboard, or the people in the neighborhood will directly get a picture on their phone of the person who now should be within 100 meters. Simply breaking in to someone's house becomes a bigger challenge. We will be guarded with cameras everywhere, and (cameras of) people will have an important role in guaranteeing social safety.
