Gilbert Police, criminals and taxes
So, I’m asking, America. Let me get this straight. An off duty, partially officially dressed, Gilbert police officer was in Walmart shopping, when he noticed a woman shoplifting. He followed her out of the store and approached her in the parking lot. The woman had a man in the parking lot waiting for her. The woman struck the Gilbert officer in the face, knocking off his glasses. The officer called 911 so she could be arrested for shoplifting and then the man approached the officer. The officer drew his gun and ordered the man to get down on the ground. The man continued to approach and verbally threaten the officer and he shot the man in the groin.
This Gilbert police officer was demoted to a dispatch desk job. The shoplifting criminals went to court to sue the Gilbert police for $300,000. The criminals won $75,000. Wow.
Now this Gilbert Locksmith understands two things from this true story (according to news sources, because I didn’t look it up in the court docs) but the two things about this situation are, you are NEVER I mean NEVER allowed by law to draw down on someone of equal stature to defend yourself…especially in a theft situation. For example, if you are in your home and you hear something outside and someone is trying to steal your car, by law, you CANNOT shoot that criminal for theft. Unfortunately, as some might add. Now, if the criminal has a gun or a knife and dives at you, THEN you are justified.
Second thing I understand from this story is that criminals HAVE RIGHTS. As, in this case, as unfortunate as that may be, the town of Gilbert had to pay up because this cop wasn’t strong enough to take on a woman and a man by hand. He had the opportunity to detain, but drawing a weapon on an unarmed man is a no no. And you know what…sometimes, I feel like…darn, that’s too bad huh?
I mean shoplifting is one thing. Assaulting a police officer is WRONG and the criminals got paid and the tax payers of Gilbert… got jacked.
God Bless America.

Scottsdale Locksmith Opens doors
Okay, lesson here. Just because you find a locksmith who can arrive quickly, to say, a lockout for your Scottsdale home, does not mean that he is the best locksmith or even A locksmith. EVERYONE is calling themselves a locksmith on the internet. Since the mortgage crisis, a lot of national locksmith companies (poor choices for the customer) started pouring their money into web site analytics to rank high in searches on Google. Ok. Competition is competition. However, when the experience of the consumer suffers, then it’s just not cool to fool. For example, a lot of national locksmith companies contract with ANYONE here in Arizona, who claims they know how to pick a lock. Arizona has no formal licensing for the locksmith industry. Hence, why these companies are here.
I had a recent Scottsdale customer who was enraged that the locksmith who showed for her lockout situation (her husband had locked up, gone on a business trip, and she didn’t have the correct ring of keys with her nor her garage door opener) this locksmith, claimed he’d have to drill all four locks to her home in order to get her inside. She thought it rediculous, sent him away, and found ASAP Lock & Security on line. Smart choice, if I do say so. Laura, the owner of ASAP Lock & Security, your Scottsdale locksmith choice for expert, professional locksmith service, was in the area, she showed up, and picked all four locks for the customer and got her inside her home. SO, my point is to get the word out to residents of Scottsdale; know in ourlocksmith industry, just because someone claims they are a locksmith, does not mean they are a professional locksmith. Choose ASAP Lock & Security for custom home hardware, emergencies and commercial locksmith solutions.
Access Control Installations for Hospitals

Also, some staff entrances were compromised and items from staff area went missing .
