According to the supermarket, the bodycam on the shop floor differs from the standard bodycams used by the police and NS. There, the camera records images that can later be used as evidence in court. The bodycam Dirk van den Broek will use is a small camera with a screen on which misbehaving customers will see themselves.
If a difficult customer threatens to create an unsafe situation, the employee can turn on the bodycam and confront the customer with the images. According to Dirk, experiences in the industry show that this can have a de-escalating effect. As with other cameras in the store, images and sound are only stored and used when necessary, the supermarket said.
Dirk already tested the bodycams last year. The company will start using the cameras in 40 stores. “We have always used camera surveillance in the stores for prevention,” said director Dirk van den Broek. “For us, the body cameras are an addition to the workplace to quickly de-escalate threatening situations. Because every incident is one too many for our colleagues and customers.”

NET ZERO - Chevron to close in Scotland.
75% tax rate on North Sea oil and gas has made it impossible for companies to stay. Chevron’s exit ends 50+ years of investment, jobs, and energy security, all sacrificed on the altar of “net zero”.
All net zero really means is job losses, economic decline, and national self-sabotage 💣

A11pl3Z
A mysterious visitor from another star is getting close
A giant interstellar object named #A11pl3Z is speeding toward our Sun from deep space.
It’s not from our solar system, its strange path proves that. Around 20 km wide, it's far bigger than the earlier visitors like #Oumuamua.
It's moving at nearly 68 km/s and will pass near Mars and the Sun later this year. Scientists still don’t know if it’s a comet or asteroid, but it could carry clues from another star system.

A new third interstellar visitor -probably an asteroid- A11pl3Z has been discovered on July 1.
It has a high eccentric hyperbolic orbit (65km/sec speed) & size 20km. Its perihelion will be on October 29, 2025.

🧵What if ʻOumuamua was just step one... and A11pl3Z is the follow-up?
Back in 2017, something strange flew through our solar system.
It didn’t stop or orbit, it just passed through.
Let's discuss 'the Mothership theory'👇
