Amid an increase in violent crime, residents have started an online petition asking Montgomery County Government to install high-resolution security cameras and new lighting at the entrances, and on each level of, its public parking garages. A number of armed carjackings, homicides and other crimes have taken place in these garages in downtown Bethesda and downtown Silver Spring. The Montgomery County Police Department announced in late December that it would begin having officers patrol the County's garages in Silver Spring on foot, after a man was murdered in a stairwell that was not under video surveillance. Bethesda and Wheaton garages were not included in the announcement.
"Bethesda and Wheaton garages were not included in the announcement."
ReplyDeleteNot even security cameras are safe in Bethesda and Wheaton!
According to the liberal fanbase, crime is down, there is no border crisis and Brandon is completely transparent.
ReplyDeleteThese thieves and murderers don't fear cameras, we need old fashioned policing, not from cars with blue lights announcing their presence. If MCPD can't save SS from the hoodlums, those trailers with cameras on poles like on Georgia Ave soon will be in Bethesda. The litter and crime has already started: the only thing saving 'North Bethesda" will be distance. Maybe the thieves can't figure out how North Bethesda is two stops from Bethesda proper. What a joke, it really is South Rockville but lacks the panache.
ReplyDeleteOld fashioned policing is exactly what we need.

ReplyDeleteI hear crickets from that crowd.
But how idiotic is it to put cameras up when they won't do jack. Look at Strosnider's in Kensington - 3 black guys robbed the place at 3 am, they have them on cameras, and nothing is going to be done about it.
No one knows better than MC (and DC) police that their job is not to stop crime, but to try to solve it, after the fact. There is only one in law enforcement, today, that's tasked with stopping crime, that's McGruff. The police in uniform mostly just want their shift over and hope the hoodlums go to another shift or sector.
