Democrat or Republican?
If Obama had a son.
Do they ever find these guys? It seems like all the descriptions are the same. Once they disappear back into whatever ghetto they crawled from, they won’t be seen again.
Is it safe to say that the consequences of being charged with armed robbery DO NOT outweigh the potential for a quick couple hundred bucks in cash? If so, God help us all.
I can’t understand why, in 2015, we can’t develop camera technology that can capture a crisper, more recognizable photo of these thugs. Any one in the security business care to comment?
Cameras that are 720p and up are available all over Ebay. The 720p are selling between $35-$50 and a 1080p is between $60-$80. Both are considered HD and are better than the crap you see in the Harford County Convenience Stores and Gas Stations. The image you are looking at is from a VGA quality camera that is 640×480 in pixel quality. Basically, the businesses are too cheap to upgrade and really don’t care as long as insurance is covering the losses…….
