A local Hamilton man has been ordered by the city to take down his security cameras that he has on the outside of his house, despite his claim that his footage has been useful in crime investigations.
Dan Myles says he has 10 security cameras outside his home on MacNab Street North in downtown Hamilton, and he says he needs them.
If that were true, we wouldn’t be seeing a constant stream of camera footage of porch pirates on news channels, media outlets and social media. The reality is that opportunistic thieves don’t care anymore. Policing doesn’t focus on protecting average citizens from property crimes, it’s a complete afterthought.
Those are the idiots! 😀
But you’re right, police aren’t / can’t protect people against these crimes. The afterthought does benefit from camera footage, though.
Police wont look for your stolen car even if you have a 4k video of the theft and a GPS tracker in the car.
Yeah, but video is still helpful. I helped a neighbour whose car was scratched, and it turned out another neighbour ran into them and fled. LOL 🤭
