    I’m a little surprised the police didn’t already know about that method. Seems like they’d encounter enough CCTV footage that’d it’d be standard training.

    I once again overestimate the training levels of the police.

      I imagine it’s utilized in more “serious” investigations and they just can’t be arsed for theft.

      In the US most their training involves how to be more aggressive veiled as training to be assertive.

      It’s a somewhat narrow situation. You won’t always have the object of interest in plain view of a camera. What if it’s behind a door? Well now you do have to scrub through all the footage
