Meet grainy perp #27736652.  He like assault rifles.  He likes them so much, he helps himself to 2, maybe 3 servings!

The assault rifles were physically locked down which also included some sort of electronic security.  This privately owned and operated camera system in combination with physical security was no match for this brazen silver haired grainy perp.

Cameras have been repeatedly been deemed an expensive and useless proposition by academic researchers, but that doesn't stop politicians from singing their praise. In fact, Richard Falkenrath of the NYPD's counter-terrorism unit believes cameras and license plate readers will deter terrorism.

Deterring terrorism with cameras is a bold statement.  If Mr. Falkenrath could just stop our American youth from stealing CCTV camera systems I would be duly impressed.

Philip Markoff was introduced to the world last week through the grainy picture released by the Boston Police Department.  While this picture was distributed through the internet and other news outlets, no one came forward to identify him.  Markoff was eventually apprehended through the use of email tracing. While there is a mountain of evidence already piled up against Philip, this photographic evidence will undoubtedly be used to assist prosecution efforts.

These images were recorded by an unmanned privately owned CCTV camera. As the image shows, the camera does not work well at night and there is no chance the evidence can be used to identify, apprehend or prosecute the perpetrators.
