LRPD AND CITY OF LITTLE ROCK REFUSE TO COMPLY WITH FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST CONCERNING VIDEO FROM CAMERA POINTING AT RELIGIOUS GROUP THAT FEEDS HOMELESS

LRPD DOES NOT WANT YOU TO SEE WHAT THEY SEE

The City of Little Rock and the Little Rock Police Department are refusing to provide access to view or provide a copy of video recorded on a camera that has been placed on a utility police and the intersection of Markham & Ringo that were requested in a Freedom of Information request.

The city has provided conflicting information concerning the recordings of the some 50 odd cameras that they might have in place at any time.

First they claimed the recording were on video tape and that you would have to go to each substation to view the tapes and that would require them to shut down the system.

Then they claimed they did not keep tapes. Who uses video tapes in the 21st century???

Records requested and obtained from the same FOI request clearly indicate that access to the video can be granted to anyone that has access to LRPD data connections.

The publisher of this blog has extensive experience and expertise in installation, operation and monitoring CCTV systems. In fact he regularly provided LRPD with images from various bank branch locations to accompany police report he filed.

Based on what he has observed these cameras appear to be connected to Comcast cable connection boxes on utility poles and use the same technology customers use to monitor security cameras in their residence and businesses.. LRPD has the capability of viewing images from the cameras in real time and using a speaker to covey sounds and voice. Clearly this is a digital system and the video can be viewed from multiple computers without having to shut down the system.

What are they afraid of?

The answer is that they are probably violating some rights of the individuals that they have captured on video and don;t want to be called out for doing so.

SUITABLE LOCATION MEANS ACCESS TO COMCAST BOX

It is clear that one individual has made up a lot of stories about homeless near her business and that the city is spending a lot of time and resources to placate this individual.We posted about her recently.

Paying officers overtime to be on the street to run off homeless individuals, or any other individual that might be strolling along on downtown streets enjoying our compassionate city,

Who will they target next?

A city that is rated one of the highest in crime and one of the worst in its treatment of the homeless.

Disgraced ex-LRPD cop and felon lied on her employment application to get job with Arkansas State Police

In 2009, Sheva Howard was a Little Rock cop. She began working at LRPD in 2001 as a Crime Scene Specialist and in 2003 she became a police officer. Howard also worked off-duty, in her LRPD uniform, at Dillard's until she was caught in an act of thievery. Howard purchased one purse, but it was in a bag so heavy she had to drag it on the ground. That bag was later found to have multiple purses packed into another purse. That incident also ended her career as a cop and gained her a felony conviction. The LRPD Internal Investigation file reads like a script from an episode of Law & Order. Howard was found to be untruthful during the internal investigation. Here's what the local newspaper published about her criminal trial. Howard's supervisor at Dillard's was Willie Robinson. It just so happened that Robinson was and is also an Arkansas State Trooper. Howard tried to have her conviction overturned but the Arkansas Court of Appeals upheld her conviction. After

Three LRPD cops "relieved of duty" over incident at Club Trois

Sources at LRPD have confirmed a tip we received that three LRPD cops, Brad Stewart, Lee Pitts and Justin Sims have been "relieved of duty" in connection with an incident at Club Trois. The story we were told is that Stewart was working off-duty at Club Trois and dealt with an inebriated female club patron by soaking her with pepper spray. LRPD General Order ("G.O.") 303 requires that a cop that uses physical force, non-lethal control and compliance devices, on or off-duty, follow certain procedures. Use of pepper spray is a Level 4 event. Here are the specific procedures. LRPD sources tell us that they are trained to call MEMS after they use pepper spray or a taser on an individual. They are to file an incident report and they file an officer's report or letter form (5600-2) with their immediate supervisor for each use of force incident. Here's an example of an officer letter form. Not a single procedure was followed in this incident. And to make matter
