Popular Post wensiensheng Posted May 21 Popular Post Share Posted May 21 I often wonder how the police identify suspects via cctv. CCTV doesn’t show the names of people depicted, so is it that the police have prior knowledge of the individuals and recognize them when they see them on cctv, or do they wander the streets after the incident and look at peoples faces until they recognize them? 1 2 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdey Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I find it hard to imagine people sneaking up on him and stabbing him. There must have been an argument during which he used the usual for letter words. I suppose it will come out which is the son of a policeman. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
