I'm more amazed that an experience cop couldn't spot a damn outdoor camera... you would think that's the first thing he would check and find ....

.... how dumb of a cop was he? :lol:

Some people do not just buy the average surveillance cameras. I do not know what kind this person had but I have seen some you will not noticed unless you was the one that put them there. I have seen some of the spy cameras, spy pens, etc. It seems the person that had the cameras installed had some money and maybe some hidden money also. But that was not that cop first time stealing.

Yes, that's true and now more the norm... but an experienced cop would be looking for signs of that whether it's connected through the lighting system or door ring... he was there to rob the house he could have at least double checked to ensure that ,especially now that it's the norm to have hidden cameras... however, it's good that he didn't because his dumb ass was caught and will no doubt go to prison.
