You may have hit a homer here, in fact IT MAY GO ALL THE WAY!!!
Auntie E should cough-up some of that contingency money she has for purchasing votes and turn a little in for equipment to furnish a van. Maybe the police already have some such piece of equipment in their arsenal of surveillance gear. I would take it a step further and make the surveillance equipment self-contained and portable as to move it to any vehicle at any time. Ounce a vehicle has been identified by the perp’s change it to another in the matter of minutes.
Getting volunteers to watch “live time” computers can become a social event after hours for many people. This could enable lots of good people to monitor the seen from a safe distance and not have to confront the criminals. A recording of the crime could be used in any court to assist the prosecuting attorney’s case and send these criminals away to rethink about the life of crime.
