> A group of about 40 to 50 teenage looters wielding hammers smashed glass cases at a Hayward jewelry store... <
How many responding police cars could reach those stores in time? Let’s be generous and say five. And how many looters can each car handle? Let’s say three. Five times three equals 15.
And 40 is way more than 15.
What’s my point? Standard police procedure ain’t gonna work here.
I am envisioning a jewery-store sized bug-light.
Before plugging it in, replace real-products with fake ones.
Once all ‘bugs’ are inside, auto-lock the entry door; set timer for about 20 seconds.
Rinse, repeat.
