Mobile Prison Guard Towers Coming to a Walmart near You! Unbelievable.
Youtube video featured on Fox News.
blech...
Oh please! Definitely a waste of money, but put your tin foil hat away.
A fella could have a real good time with a grappling hook and a 4 wheel drive truck...
We have these things all over Fort Worth Texas.
It does help stop the break in crooks from getting their Xmas gifts.
They also put them in Hospital parking lots.
Much ado about nothing.
Don’t like?
Don’t go to walmart. The things are stationary best I can tell/S. Plus if their motorized they would have a limited top speed/S.

Heck these “towers” are all over Texas in parking lots, senior centers and any place that crooks strike. They often break a chain of car burglars and move them to other locations. WE LOVE THEM. Gee one of these towers can watch 3 or 4 stores - pretty good use of one officer, plus who knows if there is even someone inside?
They have been doing this for years, its called security. Do you now how often people get robbed in these big parking lots? Or the cars get broken into?
The mall and other places do that here to deter crooks. The windows are dark so you can’t tell if its manned or not at that particular time.
Prison guard tower - aren’t guard towers used to keep the people inside from escaping?
Is this called “making a mountain out of a mole hill? It might dissuade a thief from stealing from or the whole car...might.
I’m surprised anybody is surprised.
The malls here in Indianapolis have had these for years.
I’m betting in the future they’ll be replaced by unmanned mini drones with video.
There are mobile ones in San Diego run by the sheriffs dept. Only up till mid Jan. Great idea.
Not to mention, the drive-thru at BK is out of the question. ;)
Or camo for deer season.
OH!
And here I thought that this thread was about WalMart SELLING these towers, not using them.
We had a K-Mart that was going to close due to high rate of shoplifting. They need one of these.
Trust! Do you trust the government?
Do you trust the military and our law enforcement people to uphold their oaths to defend the Constitution against domestic enemies? Or...Do you think their paychecks and pensions will be more important to them?
Its the crooks that should be sweating about these towers. . and I tell you, women love them because it makes them feel more secure in dark parking lots. . .its stunning how many women are raped in parking lots every year.
How will a prison tower prevent shoplifting? Hm?
Do they have anything like this at the Mexican border?
