Please do a web search for, Does CCTV lead to convictions. There is a very important distinction that needs to be made. The police want to look at CCTV to be able to identify and trace criminals. CCTV definitely has value in leading to an arrest.
Security Camera Footage Is Not Enough to Convict
When the authorities get into a court of law, there must be other evidence to convict because CCTV is not enough. That is the reason police departments worldwide want citizens to mark property, record serial numbers and post warning signs. It’s the reason MyPropertyID developed its global version of the strategy.
Proxy Marking and Operation ID
In Britain, it’s called proxy marking. In the U.S. and Canada, it’s called Operation ID. MyPropertyID is the global state of the art. Our strategy ships and works worldwide at no extra charge. Our security kit is a onetime charge and will outlast the items it’s used on.
Thanks for posting this information as I’m sure many people didn’t know this.
Security cameras have proved to be invaluable these days. I would love to install some.
I really had no idea about this subject. Interesting to learn that CCTV does not lead to convictions.
Great information. I do know security cameras solve a lot of crimes today.
Good to know! We have security cameras and I have my property id. I need to make sure I log the serial numbers. I started and then I got sidetracked.
It’s good to know this. I know security cameras are great to have anywhere. It’s to bad they don’t always work in helping find someone when needed though.
Great information. I do think that cameras put the person at the time and place of the crime. That’s hard evidence to beat.
It helped our local police department in an investigation which led to an arrest! Peace of mind too.
Thanks for sharing this info! We have a good security system and it brings so much peace of mind.
Thanks for the information. CCTV’s ability is limited but it’s a great help though.
CCTV’s are really helpful in the act of recording a crime. They have limited uses but still works. It’s good to know this piece of information.
It’s glad to know that a security camera can help. We definitely need to make everything possibile to respect the rules in order to help the police.
This post is really informative. Thanks for sharing this information.
I always thought having a security camera would be a good thing but I just haven’t gotten around to getting one.
