It does make you wonder why they didn't ask for at least all the daylight hours. Sunset on that day in Ballarat was 8.53pm, and it doesn't get fully dark until 20 minutes or more (roughly) after that time. I wonder how they come to a decision on the time frame for footage in any case? I'd like to think that anyone in the area would check their footage for anything suspicious on that day, and night, regardless of whether it was before or after 7pm.I wonder what made the police initially ask for CCTV / dash cam up til 7pm??
