CCTV

Hi,

Recently there was a crime on my street, the police noticed I had cctv covering the front of my house that slightly covers the road and asked if they could check through it,

No problem to me very happy to help anyhow of they went with my cctv recorder brought it back the following day and that was that,

Will they contact me if any recording is useful ? or not, anyone had a similar experience I'm curious if they have caught the thieving little

 

Probably not, unless you ask them

 

Thank you, its not the worst picture in the world, quite sure it will help if the offenders came past my house, a good zoom can be had from the picture below probably be able to read a number plate if there used the road opposite,

I will wait and see what happens then hope to here from them that means a conviction

 

They;ve down loaded all the info, we had the same, but we didn't let them have the recorder, we just down loaded the bit of info on to a disc and let them have that

 

Thanks jiffy, you wisely remembered your password then I didn't so the had to take it away.

 

We gave 3 lots to police and not once did we have any info back or to go to court etc, the only thing i had to do was to sign to say the time and date were correct (at the time 15 years ago)
A freind of mine done the same as you a let them have the recorder and it came back with no info on it and wouldn't record They wipe it clean that's why i didn't let them have the machine, but our force isn't very good

You could ask for an up date, but i don't think they will say anything, keep an eye open on the force's website there may be info there or in the newspapers

 

I'd always be cautious about giving any video or photographic evidence to the police, especially if I wasn't involved in the crime/incident.

Most perpetrators have friends/ relatives and if it becomes obvious where the evidence came from you can become no1 on the hit list.
And the police will not be that bothered, neither will the courts, who will probably put you up in lights at any proceedings.

 

I have CCTV too @martin-f because I have hillbilly neighbours whom I wish to discourage from being naughty.

Having issues with a bew reciever because it will only display up to cam 5 anf I have 9. I hooked up the last 4 to an old receiver until I have the time and patience and good luck to work on it..... Saturday I lost a giant filling in a tooth, no pain but a big crater in there. Yesterday I got hit with a flying patio umbrella in a high wind so I'm not going to play with power. I'd rather wait for a different 3rd bad luck happening like getting puped on by a bird, or something less dangerous

And yes, I would let the coppers use my recorded evidence. I mean, if they really wanted it, they could compell you to share and that would make for ugly relationships.

 

I'm sure you will get it sorted Lori , I will have to send you a lucky horse shoe ,

This is the incident in question, they make my blood boil 70 year old people the cowards, if they come in my home they wont be getting out without a good fight .

I have a very large fry pan and though I don't have a holster for it, I'd be a quick draw

 

Our force some times put up info that the crime has delt with and xxxxx has been sent the jail etc even they will put up that xxxx has been arrested etc
which i think that would be what Martain was asking about
