The Chicago Police Department, and retiring Mayor Daley, want to take Chicago’s surveillance system to the highway. The ambitious plan, announced earlier this year, is to install some 200 cameras along interstate highways between Chicago and Mexico. The camera’s function is to take pictures of license plates and cross-reference them to known images of smuggler, drug traffickers, and gun runners. (more…)

Going to the dentist isn’t something that we usually scrutinize to ensure our chosen practitioner has the necessary schooling and degrees that prove he’s a dentist. Usually, we opt for doctors or dentists who are recommended by our social circle, or, more likely, the ones covered by an insurance plan. Usually, the expectation is that they’re qualified; after all, masquerading as a dentist wouldn’t be the easiest scam to perpetrate.
In San Antonio, WOAI-TV News 4 recently published a news story by Jaie Avila using a hidden camera that might be surprising… (more…)

The Internet is littered with videos that claim to be “hidden cam” recordings of illegal, immoral, stupid, or even recordings of men and women during their “private” moments. While many of these recordings are simply YouTube users trying to go viral with their videos, others are the work of criminal action.
In every state, there are laws enacted that guarantee citizens a “reasonable expectation” of privacy; this means that people who are in private areas–such as their home bedroom, bathrooms (public and private)–and made without their knowledge, are illegal. (more…)

Romanian citizen Razvan Apostal, staying in Queens on a Visa was arrested near Rye Brook, NY, last month for using an ATM “skimmer” to steal personal ATM card information. He also installed video surveillance cameras above ATM machines in order to steal Personal Identification Numbers (PINs).
An ATM skimming device, or skimmer, is a device that covers the ATM card slot that reads the information on the magnetic card strip, plus, depending on the device, may record the PIN as well. For less-sophisticated skimmers, a camera can be installed to capture the PIN.
Depending on the ATM, and the crook’s knowledge of their workings, skimmers can be absurdly obvious or nearly impossible to detect.
The 31-year-old’s crimes were brought to light after a banking customer notified Chase Bank that an additional security camera had been installed above the ATM machines, allegedly aimed at the user interface portion of the machine. Chase Bank authorities notified local police. After viewing surveillance footage on the camera, Mr. Apostal was identified as the suspect.
A week later, another local ATM was found with a camera installed in the same general location.
Police searched for–then arrested–Apostal for placing a skimming device, the cameras, and a mirror at several local area ATMs. When arrested, he had the skimming device in his possession. Police discovered counterfeit $100 bills when a search of the man’s property was initiated.
Apostal is in jail awaiting trial. He’s being charged for eight counts criminal possession of forged instruments and one count of unlawful possession of a skimming device.

It’s an unwritten rule, but one that many would most likely agree; don’t commit a crime if you’re not willing to pay for it–monetarily or with your time. Possibly second to this unwritten rule: Don’t sell drugs underneath a security camera. (more…)

Cloaking devices. Capes. Magical rings. Once a dream found in comic books and fantasy novels, true invisibility is closer than ever. Although not magical, the concept of invisibility is still somewhat miraculous.
According to an engineering and electrical and computer engineer at Michigan Tech, invisibility is within grasp. The engineer has discovered a method to catch and bend light around objects, in essence making them invisible to humans. (more…)
