CCTV: Criminals Caught on Tape

The whole world is under surveillance. Conspiracy theorists believe the worldwide implementation of CCTV technology is only to benefit of the government. Some allege “Big Brother” is using the footage to spy on unassuming citizens in order to obtain some level of world order.

While the theories could be accurate, in most cases the footage and images are extremely instrumental in solving crime and assist by identifying both victims & perpetrators.

CCTV footage or closed circuit television (CCTV) records images of people in certain public places including town centres, roads, airports, and on public transport.

CCTV images can be used as evidence in court and many of today’s criminal convictions are as a result of CCTV imagery.

Also did you know that you can request CCTV recordings of yourself?

Here’s how to request CCTV footage:

  1. two official certified documents, which together show your name, date of birth and current address.
  2. a recent full face photo of you.
  3. details of the footage you want to see, for example, the date, time and location.

Get in touch with the facility’s security department or general management team in order to initiate the request. If you are in need of traffic camera footage contact your local police or Department of Transportation.

Generally, most CCTV Footage gets stored for 90 days.

Author and crime historian Christian Cipollini is back with a new biographic novel and of course I had to share. He has teamed with Gorilla Convict to present this inventive masterpiece that only a true crime buff can appreciate.

I had the pleasure of receiving an advance copy of the comic storybook “LUCKY” which chronicles the rise and fall of the Italian mafia’s bad boy Lucky Luciano. The press packet also contains a book trailer which brings the project to life.

The graphic novel, which is now on Kickstarter, is illustrated by Yevgeniy Franstev.

If you grew enjoying comic books, this comic will bring back a bit of nostalgia. It has an incredibly vivid and colorful visual layout. The story line is intriguing and engaging from start to finish. Of course anything featuring the mafia is always going to be compelling.

Mix a little comic with a little gangster and bada bing! You’ve got LUCKY.

Check back later for a more in-depth review but in the meantime check out the official book trailer and become a backer.

WATCH: Authorities Find Alleged Drug Cartel Money Stash Worth Millions

Alleged drug cartel money

Ok guys so how much CASH IS TOO MUCH CASH?

I snatched this video from Twitter and I am in complete aw and disbelief and love. I’m having extreme mixed emotions. I don’t know wether to freak out or be in lust… imagine having access to this kind of mulah.

Everyone knows I love money but this might be too much cash. I wouldn’t be able to trust a soul with this kind of money not even to guard it. How the hell would you know if any was missing?

Twitter claims this is drug money. I cannot confirm those claims but it’s not a far stretch seeing as cartels are known to make billions. Guesstimates are as high as $500 billion/year. Who knows the actual total but I can’t imagine the souls and tragedies tied to this money. All drug money is dirty, the drug game is the dirtiest.

If you had to guess how much do you think is in the stash? Who do you think it belongs to?

I’ll shoot my shot and say El Chapo?
