Authorities are investigating whether he may have used his doorbell’s security camera to time his ambush, firing a high-powered rifle through the door as their team neared to search his home and computer.
That’s a danger police nationwide are facing: As outdoor surveillance cameras now protect about half of U.S. homes from criminals, the criminals are using them to get a jump on officers about to raid theirs. Some doorbell cameras even have motion sensors that alert owners when anyone comes within 100 feet (30 meters).

What police need to do is apprehend the subject either with a traffic stop or at a place of business. Say six officers confront the guy in the freezer isle at the supermarket. In civilian clothes of course.
ReplyDeleteIt's like the branch davidian raid. Koresh was known to regularly gi jogging. They wanted a high profile bust to fluff the trash
No knock search warrants should be outlawed. A no knock arrest warrant should only be issued in the first 48 and only with credible proof that the suspect is attempting to flee.
So a perp might destroy evidence. So? The drugs are off the street either way.
If they don't have evidence already, how did they get the warrant?
DeleteUsually the warrant will say something like "In this officer's training and years of experience, innocent activity observed is always a sign of (insert crime)." Or "Officer Dumazz was driving past the house with his windows up and smoking a dog turd when he caught the scent of a cache of pain pills coming from the house."
DeleteThey want cameras on your property, just not to protect you, but to inform on you. Most of these doorbell cam companies sell their captured images to .gov and LEOs - no warrant needed. The IoT's isn't as benign as they would like you to believe.

Dead feds.
ReplyDeleteGee what a tragedy.
Something about this is dirty, besides the accused chomo. They had a computer geek and a female kicking the door? Not a couple of gorillas?
ReplyDeleteBut see, she can eat lead just the same as anyone else - there really is no difference!
Delete@Chris. Bingo
DeleteThe computer geek (Daniel Alfin) was the person who did the analysis of Hunter Biden's laptop.
Can you say, setup?
Check the geeks history. He thought he was busting hunter bidet
DeleteDoor bell camera? Don't own one, don't want one. That goes for smart phones too.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't mind a door bell camera, just not broadcasting all over God's little green earth... My own monitors and recording device. I don't want an idiot phone, I don't have to validate my life by my watching the fucken' front door at work or driving.
DeleteYep, since Google refuses to support the Pixel 2 and fix the camera issues that they very well likely caused, it will be my last pocket snitch that isn't an open phone / removable battery.
DeleteSame with cameras, a CCTV system that I own and control is great. No internet access unless the gate keeper is a server I own and physically control. My own server acting as a gate keeper will provide a high degree of confidence that everyone else is locked out and the cameras, along with any potential nasties, are locked in. No phone homes without my permission.
I have no use for the IoT, these days "smart" products mean "spying / snooping" products.
My pocket snitch stays on top of a very noisy computer radiator with 4X120MM fans blowing into it. Unfortunately I still use Windows due to graphical programs, games, etc. Linux just isn't there yet.

It always sucks to be the gestapo and kgb. I used to cut some slack for our merciless dog killers and killers of innocents but that faded a little while ago when it got all egregious.
ReplyDelete"It always sucks to be the gestapo and kgb."
DeleteActually, most of the time, it's pretty fuckin' awesome. It's just your last day on the job that sucks.

It’s not like there Stack isn’t predictable.

No tears for the FBI. None. Zero, zip, zilch, nada.
ReplyDelete“Wait cops aren’t criminals as well? If you tell me no, sorry I just don’t believe you. They are just criminals who work for an illegal government. Not my president. If the FBI actually put the TRUE criminals in jail or executed them I might be a bit supportive of the FBI. They don’t so I wont. You do your job for The People and you might get some sympathy from us We the Folks. Until then Fuck you I will not comply. Two dead feds is a good start.”
ReplyDeleteI saw this comment on GAB so I copied it and pasted it here, as I think if sums up just how many people in the country actually feel about the FBI. Sad these two hero’s had to catch a round and assume room temp, sad, very sad.
Wish this blog had a place to cast upvotes - this comment would get one.
DeleteA-fucking-men
DeleteNo sympathy at all for a group of lying shitbags.
The few good members are doing a disservice by not arresting the bums in the organization.
Not one fuck given. Kill them alm and start over.

I wouldn't doubt TPTB don't try to ban the private use of such cameras. There sure is an all out campaign on the "lame stream media" these past few days. It seems that all sorts of surveillance gadgets/technology is fine and dandy until someone turns the tables (or in this case the cameras) on the enforcers.
