It's a strange one isn't it.
Hey let's spend thousands on resources and lets use all this manpower to search the entire outskirts of Bury St Edmonds for 56 days instead of spending 6 hours on one day to watch and confirm the CCTV of his last known location.
CCTV 1 was released very early on. So they knew way back then that he would easily have been seen on CCTV 2. Yet here we are all this time and they still can't confirm his departure from the alley in CCTV 2 because of "lack of resources". Does it not seem odd to think that anyone of the many people searching would probably be more than happy to watch 6 hours of CCTV on the behalf of (insert desired authority here) ?
We're all told about him sleeping in a door way but nope we won't be seeing that part, this mysterious sleep he had, whilst other people ran around and shady hooded figures skitted past shopping centers. But don't worry, it definitely happened, a homeless guy confirmed it did.
"
Police continue their search for Corrie McKeague on the A11 near Fiveways Roundabout."
Presumably that is then, his phone. Honestly vague? Or obfuscation vague. I mean if Corrie was in the road I think someone would notice, you don't need 8 people to walk along it looking for "him", as worded. Well, that's a bit unfair. I know the people taking part in the search efforts are doing all they can. Meanwhile in the CCTV room:
"Hey, he's on CCTV."
"Well, let's not follow that up, let's go looking for his phone, that we only have a vague location estimation of maybe possibly never in any location near we don't really know where."
"Great idea boss, but what about the CCTV?"
"Remind me again in 50 days time. To the dual carriageway!"
So what about the public CCTV system then, that was part of a
£400,000 upgrade no less than 10 or 11 months ago. Police have immediate access to it. Why such a shoddy followup. I guess then we can assume it's a ********* failure. Maybe catch a few speeding motorists but not a possible kidnap situation!!
Looks like they have good times. Too bad their system is incompetent at preventing crime, some of the most heinous. And guess where that CCTV screen that's largest at top is... the other side of the Horseshoe (Butter Market Starbucks). So presumably the man in the coat is telling the media how this project is going to be a massive failure, if it can't even expose or explain a possible kidnapping in 50+ days, despite the at least 112 individual cameras even though they only need to look at one or two of them for answers...
From what I can tell, there are clear gaps in the CCTV coverage because the cameras spin at regular intervals and perhaps motion detection, but no-one has confirmed this have they? As such if the cameras each serve multiple angles (single lens moving to multiple angles) there are going to be blind spots and blackout periods.
Furthermore, there's even a public PDF document (link below) about what CCTV cameras exist specifically in Bury, and although it doesn't have any private ones (like the Cornhill Market camera) it still has 34 and 9 our good friends CCTV1 (kebab) and 2 (alley). And what else does it have? A huge, potential gap on the Eastern/North Eastern side. Little to no CCTV coverage, and where's the best route from the centre, the big fish on the screen in that cutting the red-tape image, none other than Short Brackland street from the Horseshoe area and pretty much the whole of that area that circles the Cornhill shopping centre.
PDF document
Image of document, but the black dots are CCTV cameras, the others are roads away from Horseshoe with no proper CCTV coverage. Basically several, that lead to the bypass/dual carriageway. Like I say, either by choice or by co-incidence, with the main cameras in that area fulfilling several angles each (so having to leave their focus of the Horseshoe) it is more than possible to slip out of Horseshoe without being seen again. Not sure if that is good speculation or bad speculation.
Sorry to get all conspiracy like, but this thing is another level. Another level of incompetence or ********, can't decide which. It's almost as if someone has done this on purpose to prove a point about a misguided 400,000 CCTV investment...a local affair the police are well aware of and as such are keeping the link firmly under wraps.
So locals, who are in this thread to Bury - might want to try and recall or find out who had opposition or had been harping that the 400,000 CCTV project having flaws/blackspots. Maybe they know something. Because it seems no-one else does despite a state of the art CCTV system and 56 days since his disappearance. Police Pod, lol, more like, PC Plod. Whilst we're all PC Played. As are his poor family, and the poor man Corrie himself. The **** is this game, seriously?
:gaah:
