A Georgia mayor was arrested after entering a house he claims he thought was abandoned...

Do he even think about knocking?

They are very useful. I had some kids spread tree sap they got onto their hands onto my car. Took minutes once I shared the video to have parents contacting me and dragging their kids over to apologize.

My son and his wife just moved from the French Quarter to the burbs in Nawlins. They ordered some of those cameras and before they could make it home, they were stolen off of the porch. A couple days later, three more packages stolen. Urban squalor.

Why are freepers complaining about that mayor's reasonable house bargain-hunting activities?

In the U.S., it's perfectly normal for political leaders (U.S. Presidents, governors and mayors) to creep around private properties on early Saturday mornings, illegally entering and snooping throughout private homes because they somehow imagined they were "abandoned" properties. As a government leader, you're always on the look-out for bargain abandoned properties you can buy for a song. President Biden is often seen aimlessly wandering around the White House and when he stumbles into an empty room there, he's probably thinking: Hey, this house looks abandoned, maybe I'll make a low-ball offer for it. My family made tons of money in our foreign dealings, so maybe I should put some of that free money to work by investing in "abandoned" properties.

Here’s proof that mayor is a great guy: His profile page on his city’s government website states that he’s “Black” and a proud “Socialist” (in capital letters). You can’t tell from his profile picture, so it’s good that his profile states his color. His profile also proudly says he’s the first Black Lives Matter activist & organizer elected to public office. (That’s also a great thing to be proud of.) He also insists that his name always be spelled in all lowercase: khalid kamau, as opposed to the word black which must always be capitalized in the U.S. (Whoops! Sorry, Khalid!) Even better, his profile page details how to pronounce his name, Khalid. (Oops, sorry again.) He also proudly states he’s leading the next generation of activists! Wow, that guy is maybe the greatest U.S. political leader in history. And it only gets better from there: He proudly calls himself an “Elected Activist!” His government website profile also brags that his city, Fulton (92% black), is the “blackest big city in America!!” (Fantastic! More racism, just what America needs!) This is the actual quote of the next sentence in his profile: “khalid is a mission to make America’s Blackest City Black.” Got that? His first name “is a mission.” (Makes sense to me!) Khalid (oops, sorry for capitalizing it again, Khalid!) also proudly declares that he then passed a resolution through City Council “to declare racism a public health crisis.” (Fortunately, Khalid is quickly fixing that extremely severe “public health crisis” by hopefully making Fulton GA 100% black ASAP.) Khalid even sponsored legislation to “ban” the city from ever asking job applicants about their “criminal history.” (I agree - no matter how long your violent criminal rap sheet is, what should that have to do with your job applications? Sounds like a real stand-up guy to me!)

"They show you a crime in commission. They don’t stop crime."

Aren't there now motion sensor cameras you replace where you bell ring is, and they immediately contact your cell so you can see who is at the door? The system allows you to also talk to the person via a microphone. If the person looks suspicious you can just say, "Leave my property now. The police are on the way".

I see the ad on TV often and it seems to me the voice comms to a stranger could be a good deterrent. Plus, I believe they record the encounter. I'll try to find the name.

Then you’d go to jail just like the guy that shot Ahmaud Arbery. I figured that’s why this “mayor” figured he could get away with it.

Five out of seven city council members oppose him, they were elected by the sheeple. Why was this fool elected in the first place?

SimpliSafe is the one I see advertised mostly. There are others out there. Just Google “front door security camera” or such.

My Ring doorbell does that.

There have been events where I have answered my front door while I am in another city. The person at the door had no idea that I was not inside.

We subscribe to the Ring monitoring. It is very inexpensive. There are sensors on all the doors. And their default base station includes phone dial-out on a common phone network. Thus, when my house wifi went out due to a power failure, my Ring sent me a phone message telling me the wifi and power were down. They were still capable of dialing out to Ring security people if there had been a door opened. Fifteen minutes later, I got a text message that everything was back to normal.

While looking at various home security systems, Ring was at the top.

All I want is a front door unit/system that has motion detection, night vision, audio intercom, immediate alert to my smartphone, and recording the event. I would prefer to stay away from long expensive contracts that use the Cloud to record. I don't need every door, window, and internal cameras since I am retired and usually at home. I have other deterence means. Plus, our little inside Chihuahua would go crazy and wake me up in my bottom bedroom.

As I recall, in the Aubery case, Georgia law permits citizen's arrest, as here, but only if you witness the crime.

That's what allowed the jury to convict.

Of course, juries are made up of people too stupid to get out of jury duty./sarc

A juror in George Zimmerman's trial said "we wanted to convict him, but the law wouldn't let us."😯
