On Easter this year a retired man was murdered after he opened the
front door of his home. He was a very well liked man and no one could
understand why anyone would kill him like that. There were no
suspects.
The video security system of a convenience store captured a picture of
a man who stopped by earlier asking directions to the victim's house.
The picture was investigated and eventually it turned out the man was
a once co-worker of the victim. Upon further investigation (and a two
hour standoff), the man was arrested. He had a gun with bullets that
matched those used on the victim.
The DA said that without the picture the crime wouldn't have been
solved.
So, in this case, the video surveillance solved a crime.
