Someone in the RMT PD office have their thinking cap on..

It would seem that RMPD has decide to get those car thieves once and for all. Yes, and they have a plan. Which has been used in other cities across the US. What is it, and will it really work?

It would seem that RMPD will start using Bait Cars.. Yes Bait Cars to catch those car thieves.

Now you ask what is a Bait Car, here is the 411 on that.

A bait car, also called a hot car, is a vehicle used by law enforcement agencies to capture car thieves. The vehicles are modified, with features including GPS tracking and audio/video surveillance technology, and can be remotely monitored and controlled. A "kill switch" may be installed in the vehicle allowing police to remotely disable the engine and lock all doors from the inside, preventing escape.

The bait car, often filled with valuable items to draw attention to it, is parked in a high auto-theft area. In some cases, the vehicle may be simply left unlocked with the keys in the ignition. When the car is stolen, officers are immediately alerted, and can monitor the vehicle and send commands to control it such as disabling the engine, locking the doors or honking the horn. Live audio/video streaming devices may be installed allowing law enforcement personnel to determine how many suspects are in the car, what they are planning and if they are armed.

I hope this will work, but they (RMPD) need to go after some the car salvage yards owner too. There are a few in and near the City limits, who will take the car as junk and pay the person with out the person having a title or showing ID. Which is against the law, but these owners don’t care, cause the cops never charge them. Even after finding stolen cars and trucks on their lots

Does Rocky Mount need to do something about the Crime in the City?

In Yesterday column of Speak up of the Rocky Mount Telegram so posted that it was so embarrassing to see the crime in certain area of the city. While the others are spending so much time talking about het propose Event Center.  

In the comment section race was attacked and that Knight and his people are to busy trying to establish a strong hold on the city affairs.

Early this week the City of Rocky Mount PD held “coffee with a cop.” Where citizens can have a frank decision about crime and other issues while drinking coffee at a local Hardee’s restaurant.

One reason why the crime is high in the city is that most of the officers turn a blind eye to crime. O, I know many will claim they don’t but I know this for a fact, I have seen myself.

The PD will profile and harass the young black men on the local street corner, but they won’t stop and question a man walking down the middle of Cokey road with a shopping cart with a 1 ton heating and cooling unit, a fireplace mantle, or a stainless steel kitchen sink. I call these men the home un-improvement crew.

These folks break into empty homes and clean them out, of any and everything they can, including copper pipes and wiring. Why doesn’t the RMPD stop and question these folks??

If anyone else did this

Andre Knight on the Murders in Rocky Mount

First off this is very inappropriate to give this interview in a car. But that doesn't surprise me when he is representing a district that he doesn't even live in.

Several black women all of whom suffered from drug addiction and prostitution have been killed in Rocky Mount North Carolina over the past few years. Andre Knight, who sits on the Rocky Mount City Council and President of the local NAACP has been the most vocal in seeking attention to these murders. Is this the work of one person? Knight weighs in also on the National Media attention these murders have spurred
