I just returned from campus.
If his car was an old beat-up blue Lincoln Town Car, then it is still in the parking lot. It has one of the roofs that was not metal on the outside but kind of a leather like material -- I cannot think what they are called.
As for video cameras, I found what looks to be a new one installed at the SE corner of the end zone where students enter and also a new one in the parking garage as you leave -- at least they look new as they are black and around here black turns into grayish looking with the dirt blowing around. Could not find any at Gate 1; Gate 2 had one but it was pointed at the back of the ticket office not the gate; Gate 3 and 7 -- couldn't find any but will go back tomorrow to see if walking around I can see more. Very few people around campus this afternoon and frankly didn't want to stand out.
Looks to me like the video surveillance in the stadium was for ticket offices where they would have money and tickets not for the gates. The student gate definitely has one today -- all nice and new looking.
Can confirm a lot of ME students in Parkview Apartments that love to stare. Parking lot is pretty full at the Islamic Center.
End of my report from OU!
Great reporting!
10-4, that's good work. Clumsy cover-ups are harder to accomplish due to good work done by folks like FReepers. Lots of resources here, excellent.
Interested folks should always carry a camera in their cars, maybe two, a video and a digital still camera. Extra media sticks for each in case of confiscation, not paranoia here, this is today's world, believe me.
I went into PI work after retirement, this is NOT rocket science, just good ol' gumshoe stuff combined with a little technology. It's so great to be able to download camera shots to a hard drive or CD, make several copies, file them away for safe keeping. Compact and easy to file and review, wonderful technology these days.
I was first on a small twin-engine plane crash in a ranch, couldn't do anything for the pilot, it was in full bloom. Others arrived, as plane melted down a large mound of small bales of MJ appeared. I was the ONLY one taking photos (35mm film camera--70s). My photos verified who was there and what they were doing; there were wild rumors of "weapons". Photos showed that what people were seeing were not weapons but deformed and half-melted airframe parts, looked strange though.
Small pocket spiral-bound notebooks for notating details, details, details; time, date, weather, etc., etc. So many folks have camera phones, learn how to use them, know what they will do and not do. Simple stuff really but who knows in today's climate of terrorism what might be prevented?
"It has one of the roofs that was not metal on the outside but kind of a leather like material -- I cannot think what they are called."
Landau top, carriage roof or vinyl top, depending on how elaborate it is, and what part of the country you're from, lol. Those old, square Lincoln Town Cars often have the half-vinyl roof with coach lights on the pillars, meant to look like the old limos from the 30s that had an open passenger compartment and an enclosed driver compartment. Very baroque.
See Post #96 -- report on video surveillance cameras.
You be careful when you're out and about doing recon! Try to take a big Oklahoman with you or something (the hairy-legged variety).
Very good report. Stay safe. Those staring students creep me out and I am not there!
