The police and d.dot have cameras at many intersections (the Starburst, to name one). Can recordings from these be used to identify the vehicle? If not, why not?
7:36,
The cameras don't always capture the license plates clearly but I'm sure those cameras are at least sometimes the source of footage police release showing vehicles of interest.

i wonder if the time of the criminal activity is correct. i was a few blocks away walking outside, also with a backpack, at that time. i didn't hear any shots.
Now he becomes an expert at short hand!
