Bringing the guilty to justice


There is so much violence in our streets everyday that one might say it is difficult to set foot outside your own home.

Surveillance systems, while not always preventing crime, but are definitely a tool to bring the guilty to justice. A recent case of homeless victims in Florida were beaten to death by two men with baseball bats. These men were under the influence of drugs and alcohol and stooped to this level for fun.

One of the victims died while two others were attacked. All beatings took place in 2006 and the culprits were recently convicted of second-degree murder with two counts of attempted second degree murder each.

Yes the men were brought to justice. One of the beatings was captured on surveillance video and helped to identify these men. Crimes cannot be prevented and surveillance systems cannot promise that. They can however, deter crimes making it difficult for thieves to get away. They can also help bring the offenders to justice.
