Charlotte Raup president of
The Wilkes Barre City Crime Watch, said she often hears police on the scanner
as they ask to check Hawkeye for photos of whatever is happening at the time,
and in most cases the police are told “we got noting” from Hawkeye.
Charlotte’s
not the first person to raise questions regarding Hawkeye. Patrick Sweet of The
Citizens Voice newspaper began an investigation of Hawkeye in 2011, but then
Patrick Sweet left The Citizens Voice, and his investigation was somehow swept
under the rug.
Also
our Parking Authority who pays Hawkeye faithfully for their service (or lack thereof)
has been waiting for well over a year for repairs to a nonworking camera in the
central garage.
Raup
said a police source told her that the city camera did not capture images, of several crimes, including the drive-by shooting on Hazle Street.
Told of
Raup’s comment on the Hazle Street incident, City spokesman Mc-Laugh-Lin said the city will not
respond to allegations made by anonymous sources.
- Good thinking Drew, I wouldn’t comment on anything, I couldn’t verify either.
City
spokesman Drew Mc-Laugh-Lin said the camera above the North Street scene had
captured video of a car hitting Miller.
District Attorney Salavantis
denied the footage existed and, hours later, Mc-Laugh-Lin reversed himself,
saying police had provided him incorrect information.
- Wait, what police officer gave you wrong information Drew? I was under the impression “the city will not respond to allegations made by anonymous sources.”
So let
me get this straight Drew Mc-liar-paints can make up stories, and blame
the police, but if our crime watch president tells the truth about what she and
everyone with a scanner hears, with their own ears, then he has no comment.
Wake Up
Wilkes Barre
