It just makes the Police appear more moronic. Yes, the first time I read it I was confused because without the comma, it’s more of a sentence fragment than anything else.

It's logically bankrupt. I'll stop now. Also, can you report someone weeks before something doesn’t happen? It’s logically bankrupt.

Do the Police <i>really</i> have the resources to follow up on everyone who does one of these "suspicious" things? Of course not. And they must know that too, which means this poster is not actually about getting us to dob in camera enthusiasts, it's about breeding a general sense of mistrust among the public, and reliance on the all-seeing Police. What pisses me off most, though, is the missing comma. <i>What happened</i> weeks before a shopper reported someone studying the CCTV cameras, motherfuckers? If they're going to creep me out, they could at least have the basic decency to punctuate properly. Well, precisely.

It has about a dozen different voiceovers saying various things such as "exchanged hands..." "downloaded suspicious documents..." "saw a suspicious person..." It all seems a little paranoid, seeing as any of those could just be an innocent person going about their business. That poster is classic, however.
