Call me bubba Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 I came across an article that in Bolivia that they will be giving the "customs workers" SPY PENS in an attempt to reduce " corruption" would something like this work here? seems like it could only if the WILL POWER was used Bolivian officials get spy pens in anti-corruption effort Bolivian custom officers will have to carry special pens, with a hidden micro-camera and voice recorder, as part of a government initiative to tackle corruption. The measure was announced by customs director Marlene Ardaya, who will be issued with her own pen. "They will work as an anti-doping mechanism in the department." She explained that the voice recorders will remain active during all working hours. The authorities said officials would be selected randomly to have the recordings in their devices checked. The Bolivian Customs Department, with more than 1,000 employees, is seen as one of the most corrupt areas of the government in the South American country. It is supposed to control all import and export, including the sale of valuable mineral resources. But the Bolivian Economy Ministry estimates smuggling costs the country up to $400,000 (£250,000) in lost tax revenue. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-18453264 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
