NYPD Video Camera Glitch Alters Mafia History

If fate hadn’t intervened, the murder of an independent check casher outside a Gravesend, Brooklyn auto body shop, should have been caught on a high-tech NYPD video camera mounted on a pole outside. The camera, a remote-controlled piece of police wizardry had been taping activities at the shop at 2522 West 3d Street for five weeks as part of a mob money laundering investigation.

So when a crew of armed robbers rolled up on the afternoon of July 2, 2010, stole $200,000 and left the fatally wounded check casher dying in the street, all the police theoretically had to do was go to the videotape.

Except that, moments before the robbery, the video tape had stopped rolling.

Unless the robbers were the NYPD, deblasio is making NYC just like the good old days
 

Shenanigans.

They happen.

Not since Nixon has such a strange coincidence occurred.

There are technologies that can jam the sensors on CCTV cameras from a distance, blacking them out. They've been around for a long time.....

If this had been a cartel hit I would suspect that one of their tech wizards may have employed such a device. Being that this was a mob robbery I suspect that the long and mutually beneficial relationship between the NYPD and the Mafia played a role.

Actually, it was kind of a strange coincidence back in the early 1980s, when the watch commander and (IIRC) one other officer of the Medford Police near Boston happened to make sure that there
were no patrol units anywhere near the vicinity of the bank that they robbed.

The Cops Are Robbers

I'm pretty sure that all that camera would have gotten was video of some guys in ski masks...Not exactly useful.
