Nice try + L + ratioedYou think reacting to trolling posts with an angry emote is the same as being angry with a person. No wonder why all logic, reason, and reading skills get thrown out the window in GD.

This may be surprising but actually reviewing CCTV footage takes a lot of time and effort unless you are able to track the person from one camera to another and you have access to every system straight away. Once you lose track of someone for just a few minutes it becomes massively harder to do it.
New footage..
from Wednesday
Also most CCTV isn't aimed at the "public" but like in that footage the likes of doorways and access points to buildings.
Oddly the police don't have the thousands of staff available to just go and look at random CCTV footage from everywhere around the last sighting, and they don't have automatic access to the systems.
So yes, there is a delay because in many cases it's the owners/operators of the cameras who are going through the footage at their own time or when the police request it and have a rough timeframe.
I've got a couple of CCTV cameras, not top quality but pretty good and I've done searches for specific events that happened overnight and it can easily take an hour or more to review ~8 hours of footage from a single one if you're looking for something specific, potentially longer depending on what you're looking for, the quality of the camera, lighting and angle/area covered. Even "motion detection" doesn't help much if say it's a busy road, or worse, it's raining, and you're limited in how fast you can run through it by things like how wide a field of view the camera has and what you're looking for (so 4-8 times max in my case, then taking it to 1x or slower to actually get a good look).
IIRC after a murder a few years back the police followed the killers via CCTV and I think it came out that they'd reviewed some utterly vast number of hours of footage to get the timeline of about 4 hours, as every time they hit a blackspot in footage or the suspect went out of sight of the cameras for a second they basically had to start looking at all the local cameras where they had lost them (I can't remember how much they reviewed but it was well into the tens of thousands of hours).

Yes, I do understand that, I guess it was my frustration that they took so long to give a description of the guy.
When Steve Wright was on his murder spree around Ipswich, my GF at the time had 2 petrol stations and the police took all the footage from them, so god knows how many hours that was to sift through.

Nonsense.
What the police should be doing is a thorough search of His Majesty’s Theatre.

It makes sense now, these people genuinely get angry reading posts!You think reacting to trolling posts with an angry emote is the same as being angry with a person. No wonder why all logic, reason, and reading skills get thrown out the window in GD.
I think the whole time I've been here, only 2 or maybe 3 posts from other forum users made me genuinely angry.

Really, a "no u"? You can do better than that.
:Fake edit: Also, let's not pretend I haven't moderated many of your angry reactions to reading posts in my time

I'm pretty sure mods can see every edit and every report and complaint, right?:Fake edit: Also, let's not pretend I haven't moderated many of your angry reactions to reading posts in my time
Might want to recheck that.
Pretty much all of the time I've had mod intervention and comments deleted was because they were off-topic
For me personally it's anger at the levels of dishonesty on display and a total refusal to answer basic questions, i mean what's the point of making multiple posts if you have no intention of engaging others in conversation, it's just a waste of everyone's time.
I understand why maschio refused to answer such a simple question, why they couldn't say they were saying that they do not emerge and peaceably integrate into our society. It's because if they took 5sec to apply even the most simplest of logic they'd know that what they said wasn't true. It's why they lead myself and the rest of the forums on a merry-go-round, because they simply couldn't admit they were wrong so instead they decided to put their backwardness on display for the whole forum to see, and for people with similar view to jump on the bandwagon.
So no, i was not 'angry' at the person simply because i marked their post with the angry emote, i was frustrated (if anyone can think of a more suitable emote to use for frustration I'm all ears) at the levels of disingenuousness and dishonesty that were on display, at the waste of everyone's time simply because an individual couldn't being themselves to answer such a basic question and move the conversation on.
e: That will be my final word on the subject as like others have said this really needs to get back OT and i had decided to do that after that individuals last reply to me, however seeing as a few of you took so much interest i felt it necessary to clear things up.

Sorry as off topic, but do they take the recording device away, or just a download of all the footage?

Clearly planning to get his hands on some high value bearer bonds and needs to avoid law enforcement.
If I tell you, do I get a share of the loot?
They took away pretty much everything, but it was back in 2006.

When I had some footage the police were interested in the officer took a copy away on a memory stick (I bought a bunch of cheap small ones that are unopened by the DVR).
I suspect it'll depend on what the crime is, and what the equipment is as going back many years IIRC they used to take the original tapes or a CD/DVD if the system had the capability to burn one.
I’ll tell you what I believe. My own two eyes.
Down the road from me there’s a hotel full of exclusively 20/30 year old male economic migrants. You can see them all hanging about the city centre through the day clearly working a variety of “cash in hand” jobs.
Now, it could be that the women, children and elderly are in a different hotel. But to me it suggests that the overwhelming majority of asylum seekers and refugees are in fact young men here looking to escape poverty in search of a better life and are primarily here for economic reasons.
I suspect many will have seen the same thing happening in towns around them and will be asking the same questions I am. This is why it’s such a contentious issue as the media and most politicians are very clearly and deliberately trying to downplay the demographic make up of these “refugees”.
Doubly so when we’re seeing events like this where young men who’ve illegally entered the country without the usual background/visa checks are committing criminal acts yet somehow are being allowed to remain.
