Thread: Crackdown in Wairarapa

Interesting that STUFF has used a photo of a band semi automatic centrefire rifle (my interpretation of the photo), just to add a bit of sensationalism to the news.

With the technology available at retail level, wouldn't it be a simple matter for the Community Watch Group to establish a network of motion activated cameras (game cameras or similar) on every rural intersection and one lane bridge, which actives to a cellphone? Once alerted, the home owner goes outside with a hand held thermal and scans the neighbourhood. Thermals will pick up the human form, or hot vehicle from miles away.

Instead of bleating after your fat arse sheep has bolted, be pro-active by building a fence at the top of the cliff, instead of a newspaper article at the bottom.
