'Exterminator' armored truck will watch Illinois neighborhoods
« on: October 21, 2010, 03:36:24 PM »

Creative law enforcement isn't new to St. Clair County Sheriff Mearl Justus.

Last year, the dean of the region's chief cops sponsored a "haunted crack house" that used an old grange hall to depict the life of a young drug addict.

Before that, Justus publicized a "drug house of the week," aimed at shaming dealers into leaving town.

On Tuesday, his deputies lifted a plastic tarp to unveil his newest idea: an armored truck to park in problem neighborhoods as a vandal-proof platform to transmit live pictures.

"I thought about a lot of names ... I thought 'The Cockroach' would've probably been appropriate, but we settled on 'The Exterminator,'" Justus told reporters.

The donated and rebuilt armored truck, once used to carry cash, is fitted with cameras, digital recorders and gear to stream live video. Deputies will park it in front of the "dwellings of troublemakers" — for days at a time, if necessary — to reduce nuisance crimes.

"It sends a message," Justus said. "We will not tolerate drug trafficking, littered lawns, loud noise and other neighborhood nuisances." He said the cameras should keep criminals on the run and give residents peace of mind.
.................................


We will not tolerate littered lawns, pet doors, flower pots on porches, people who don't mow their lawns, etc etc.

So what will happen when people start draining the fuel tanks on this truck?

Painting over cameras is a colorful idea.

While it's occupied, fill all the door cracks with epoxy.
Aim videocam for hilarious Youtube footage.

By the way, having driven these things for a living for a few years, I'll tell ya, they're kinda drafty.
Standing a few yards upwind with a can of pepper spray, you can make things a little uncomfortable for the occupants.

I cant see this ending well. And it is such harassment to the peoples houses they park it by. What if a person in one of those neighborhoods builds their own and uses it to harass the police department?

Oops. Forgot. Even better.

Or, just weld 'em shut.

So I assume this department has a camera on all of its cops' actions all the time?

What's that graffiti-covered thing that smells like urine and burning tires in the parking lot?

Oh, that's the sheriff's bright idea.  You should have seen the unmarked cruisers we had watching it.  We went through four tow trucks trying to get that thing out of there.

Especially since some yahoos decided it'd be funny to fill the truck full o' concrete, through a gunport.

If WE did it, it wouldn't be legal. I think it would be fun though.
