A farmer in China's Hubei province attempted to inflate compensation for a land purchase by installing over 170 surveillance cameras on his property. The farmer's strategy, aimed at increasing the payout for a compulsory purchase scheme to build a highway, involved placing the cameras in his orchard after construction in the area had been banned. Local authorities stated that he would not be compensated for all the cameras, as Chinese land acquisition policies allow compensation for assets like fruit trees and security cameras, but this practice of adding structures to increase payouts is not uncommon.
