No, this is not an April Fool's joke, police have stooped to a new low, spending -no wasting- taxpayer's money (Federal Grant) to put camera's in the woods and cardboard boxes in the slums, just to see IF a RSO comes by for a few hours of the day! This is insanity! ACLU needs to be claiming -discrimination- there should be a camera at every single RSO's residence to see if they come home to sleep. ENFORCEMENT must be EQUAL! But, this is the police department that participated in the HARASSMENT of one sex offender till his home was ultimately burned down; crime never solved.4-1-2010 New Mexico:
The Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department shares an inside look to how some registered sex offenders are tracked by the use of surveillance cameras around the county.
Deputies say many times offenders don't tell the truth about where they're living. They'll report one address but actually live at another, which is illegal.
Deputies say they then get permission from neighbors, landlords, or business owners to put up cameras to see if they can spot an offender. Detectives will go back and watch the footage and have warrants written based on not seeing an offender at home.
The cameras can end up in different places. BCSO Detective Pat Burke says even a bush or a tree can be used for surveillance.
Deputies say in one example, cameras were put in a pet cemetery to make sure a homeless offender was living there as he reported. The cameras ended up spotting him there.
The cameras were paid for by a Federal Department of Justice grant.
BCSO wouldn’t say how many cameras are up, but confirm at least eight are somewhere in the county.
