Cameras could deter rural crime

Re: “When can you use force to protect your property?” Aug. 25.

One solution to thefts from rural properties might be cameras.

A farmer could have a camera contractor come out and assess the situation to install a number of inconspicuous camera lenses at different places on the property.

A lot of the technology today is wireless, and the contractor would know what would be the best arrangement of the lens.

A sign, on the gate post to the property, could advise thieves that the property is camera monitored 24/7.

It’s a farming expense, so it’s tax deductible and theft insurance may cost less.
