In many criminal
trials, footage from nearby security cameras can be important evidence in the
prosecution’s cases. Security cameras can provide concrete evidence of a crime,
or they can be used to prove that an accused individual was not at the scene of
an alleged offense. Recently, the Las Vegas Metro Police Department decided to
install 37 new security cameras on the Las Vegas Strip to help keep individuals
accountable for their actions.
The Las Vegas Strip has always been a hotbed for crime, and
the police hope that by installing these cameras they will be able to catch
more offenders who are involved in violent offenses. All the new security
cameras are high-definition, full-pan-tilt zoom cameras .
The captain of the LVMPD says that the cameras cover a large
portion of the Strip, from the Welcome to Las Vegas sign all the way down to
Sahara. The Department of Homeland Security gave the LVMPD a $300,000 grant to
assist in the purchase and installation of this surveillance technology.
Officers say that the new cameras have already helped them significantly in the
past two months. For example, recently police were able to locate a man who
planted a suspicious device in hotel landscaping by utilizing the cameras
placed near the scene.
If you have been charged with a crime, utilizing the footage
from these cameras could work to your advantage. Regardless of the evidence the
prosecutor has against you, you need an aggressive Las Vegas criminal defense
attorney to advocate for you in court. Contact De Castroverde Law Group to
