Just Curious 2/9/2013 8:23:08 AM ReportStupid or what?? He works there,did he not know there were cameras???
Norm 2/9/2013 11:07:53 AM ReportAs Forrest Gump's Mom said, "stupid is as stupid does".
phantom 2/9/2013 11:49:23 AM ReportYou said it... there is no cure for Stupidity!
JellyFisch 2/9/2013 3:39:38 PM ReportYes sure there are security cameras. At places I have worked at, the PVR or tape is not recording unless the manager is suspicious of activity. Some places the cameras are recording 24/7, but there is only enough space to hold say 5 straight days worth of low quality video.
The employee might have known this banking on the fact that the video gets erased as time passes. Or maybe he knew the angles of the camera and tried to hide his activity but was unsuccessful.
Knowledge of this requires a bit of intellect. I wouldn't label him completely stupid. However, he would've been smart to just NOT do it.
