There was a car break in, in the parking garage of the smallish casino I consulted for. There were no cameras since it wasn’t deemed worth the cost. But fake cameras would undoubtedly deter most future break ins. Our attorney nixed the idea. Though they would stop most crimes they would be an admission that we considered the garage dangerous, yet we didn’t take full precautions. We risked a lawsuit that we wouldn’t get if we did nothing. That makes sense?
No further explanation needed. All comments welcome.
I’m not buying the fake camera argument either. If there is an occasional break-in, but no or minimal violence to individuals, that is an inconvenience and a cost of doing business. By putting non-monitored camera into the garage, the casino would be doing something to reduce the risk and potential danger to customers. On the other hand, if there were numerous break-ins and customers getting injured, then that requires a greater amount of vigilance, such as monitored security systems, armed guards, or something similar.
