Warning: Video Surveillance In Use

Warning: Video Surveillance in Use By Elton Camp Those fuzzy, unfocused videos of crime To identify robbers aren’t worth a dime Their low quality images are the excuse Why, to catch crooks, they’re of little use They show vague shapes moving about That they have much value I surely doubt The images they give are poor, not even fair All I can tell is that it’s a man, not a bear Far better technology most surely does exist But it’s something high risk stores did miss Therefore, video camera use at the corner store Won’t stop any robber coming back for more So little stores might as well take the sign down It makes a crook laugh when he comes around And so a mask he doesn’t even both to wear Although he knows that the camera is there
