The lack of comprehension is strong in this one...
Yet again, you forgot to read. We are not talking about the benefits of camera systems. We are comparing steps specifically taken by English to secure the property from trespassers, versus steps taken solely to catch evidence against trespassers, ie: a trap. As some knucklehead noted earlier, he didn't even put up a Posted: No Trespassing sign from a dollar store. No fence, not even plywood over the door. Left the place absolutely wide open, and intentionally.
Do you mean to provide himself with peice of mind insurance that his property is filmed, or in terms of his Builder's Risk provisions on his Homeowners policy, or what? If the former, meaningless, since he allows all entrance. If the latter, he would likely not be covered for liability claims because he did not post the property or make any UCR attempts to secure it.
Keeping records of what? Oh yeah, the trespassers he caught on video.
Um, yeah. That's a trap. That's what I said.
*rubbing temples* Yeah, that's a trap. That's what I said.
Yeah, a wide open unposted and unsecured site is some bang-up effort to deter. I suppose the trespassers would be deterred by seeing the hidden game cameras at night, too? They're wearing night vision goggles, I suppose? Hey, how did that work for English as a deterrent?
Oh yeah. Really critical to monitor the midnight shift on a residential construction site. It's great relations with your subcontractors to tell them "Hey, work around all these cameras I installed to keep an eye on you dirtbags"
No, it's comparing efforts English made to secure the site (NONE) versus efforts made to catch evidence of the trespassing he fully allowed to happen.
Ya think your insurance would cover a claim if you literally left your doors wide open and unattended 24/7? I think they'd call you an idiot and deny the claim because you did not show due diligence in closing up the ******* front door and not posting the premises.
Again, my argument is that he wanted to catch a trespasser, not stop trespassing. And based on the months of security video released, a couple little boys peeked in once, a white couple peeked in once, and Arbery appears there multiple times.
Think it through: English says he called police on a black man with tattoos (believed to be Arbery) who he caught on camera. He didn't say he called about the white couple or the white boys though, did he?
I think it can be assumed that English was specifically trying to catch Arbery. And I think it's at least plausible that he may have colluded with the McMicheals more than he has copped to.
