What good are security cameras, if the violators are not prosecuted to the full extent of the law?

They were already warm inside, they're warm blooded animals. Being attacked only lets the warmth out.

The streets will run red with warmth.

You're not supposed to ask that.

Back to reprogramming you go.

Only one thing will stop a burglar like that and it moves around 1,200 FPS.

That's absolutely right: https://lawofselfdefense.com/jury-instruction/md-mpji-cr-507-self-defense/

[[In addition, before using deadly-force, the defendant is required to make a reasonable effort to retreat. The defendant does not have to retreat if [the defendant was in [his] [her] home],

Every now and then you read about a criminal who makes an extra effort to be thoughtful.

Who on that committee has the cousin in the security camera business?
How are the bribes distributed?

Along with:
Is the footage really as private and secure as it's claimed to be?

As I understand it, MoCo is only providing funding for the Camera itself, not other aspects of the system.

As for private/secure.... it depends... maybe.

Get something that uses Two-Factor Authentication if it'll be uploading imagery to the Cloud.

For example: Google/Nest and Ring support Two-Factor Authentication.

****THIS. Admittedly sub-sonic would work too behind a good suppressor host and will be a bit easier on your eardrums as well...
