Another fine upstanding member of that community!! Looking for his OWN free hand out!

blacksuv, evidently you missed the sarcasm in my post and didn't quite comprehend it's purpose. Try to keep up.....

How st*pid do you have to be to think "so he found the suspect inside the burgler alarm "? DUH !!!!!

Add a -0- to that bond amount, and then put him on a chain gang making little rocks out of big ones. Then maybe they will get the idea that it is easier to work for a living than stealing and breaking rocks.

We have to take the profit and lack of punishment out of burglary.

"as it is now, our processes are actually encouraging crime." - Amen on that powerpuff! Our so called criminal justice system is so often just a joke with cops working day and night but judges and lawyers working against them.

many alarms today work on a celluar network

WRAL, so he found the suspect inside the burglar alarm???

powerpuffjenn - That's one I haven't run across yet. Thanks for the insight. Gives me something else to watch for.

"good job by the deputy, but WHY would anyone want an electrical meter????? I don't get it. Scubagirl"

Because that kills all power to the house without electricuting yourself by cutting wires. That way low-tech surveillance systems will be knocked out. Looks like the home owner had a better system, and monitored too!

You pull the meter to kill power to the house, hopefully also killing any alarm and it's ability to phone for help. With many people using IP based phones, turning the power off has a good chance of shutting down the cable modem and router unless they are on a UPS unit. Most alarm systems have their own battery, but they can't call if the phone is dead.
