security cameras (GZ spoiler) - brandon1 - 09-29-2009

I was just wondering-When Jack was rescuing Weezy from her kidnappers in the new novel ground zero were there not any security cameras in the loading bay of a major nyc hospital-dont police now have an image of jack?-just a thought.

Can we assume they were disabled by the guys who took out the security guard?

Yes, yes we can

I'd thought of that too, but what about when they realized Weezy was missing? They'd pull up the tapes from the cameras by her room. Jack would have to be identified, more than likely by Eddie, and the Cops would have an image AND Jacks real name (whatever that may be...).

They'd put out a BOLO or an APB on Weezy. When her house later burns down and those bodies are found even more eyebrows will be raised and they'd probably put out a BOLO for Jack.

Even without the image of Jack, Weezy would still be considered a potential kidnapping victim, and not knowing about Jacks lack of legal status, he'd have given the "authorities" Jacks information before speaking to Jack ( or maybe even afterward) and Jack would be considered a Person of Interest.

A hospital that size would be running multiple DVR units to record from their numerous cameras. Even if the kidnappers were smart enough to take out the "tapes" for the loading dock location they would stand very little chance of taking out all of the footage. Deleting a CCTV DVR ( even an old one) would take awhile and physical destruction of the units would attract a lot of attention.

Spoliers!!!!
Remember them...use them...sheesh

Think about all those that haven't read the book yet.

From the time THE TOMB was written until the time of GROUND ZERO, the use of security cameras in public places has expanded exponentially, along with embedded chips and magnetic strips in identification cards, and linked databases between government entities. It's getting harder and harder for someone like Jack to be a "ghost" and stay off the grid. [SPOILER]The use of public street cameras also played a factor in BY THE SWORD.[/SPOILER]

Unless it's a prison ward, most hospitals don't have cameras in their corridors.
