They really are. I visit a location with one of these regularly  and a pleasant loudspeaker says "Welcome to [shopping area], please report any disturbances" and I immediately feel like I'm in Half-Life, or another dystopian video game...

    The ones by me play loud classical music at night to keep homeless from setting up camp. Nothing makes me feel more safe at night than loud classical music. Just kidding it always makes me feel like a slasher movie killer is just a few feet behind me.

    Probably the most dystopian thing I've ever experienced IRL.
