Burbank Police take credit for the “enhanced” surveillance photo and are circulating it.
In the case of ‘Poopgate” on Magnolia they claim a “policy” against showing video.
Double Standard–both are “allegedly” hallway photos.
What’s up?
Dixie,
I hear what you’re saying. I too wonder about this so called “policy” of the Burbank Police, which allows the release of photos of certain suspects . As you know, I have recently asked for the booking photos of suspects accused of sex crimes against school children. Those requests were rejected by that department. However,the BPD is now circulating photos of a minority female suspected of stealing money and a credit card from a teacher’s purse in an empty classroom.
In the case of “Poopgate,” Burbank Police are refusing to release a copy of a video that has been used to accuse a Magnolia merchant of a tacky act. If “Poopgate” turns into another legal case that taxpayers have to foot the bill for — the city council, city manager, city attorney, and police chief should all be held accountable.
Their “policy” allowed them to issue a Press Advisory on the one hand–
then issue legaleze about Poopgate???
Thanks for taking your time to alert folks to the flip-flop-philosophy of our Police.
Has the “dragnet” caught the sticky-fingered one yet?
BTW Mrs Fronnie,
After a more careful look, that doesn’t appear to be a hallway in any Burbank School?
Did Burbank Police acquire this photo from another Police Agency?
Do we have surveillance cameras in various Burbank School hallways?
Dixie,
I’m curious about the source of the photos as well. Did they come from surveillance video provided by the the Burbank School Unified School District or from somewhere else?
I had heard about this and its scary. What security do our children have in Burbank schools when any strange person can just walk in and do whatever they want ?
For all the Parents who are required to go through the “jumps” to pick-up their children at various school locations the question is of course……..How??? and Why????
The front office personnel who so casually ignore Burbank Parents and Grandparents have some Explaining to Do!!!!!
Other times they act as the Gestapo….What gives???
