Someone already attempted to file an accident claim against me

There is a window compainy by where I used to live that through all there old windows in a dumpster glass and all. A scrapper came by when they were closed and jumped in the dumpster and cut himself. Ended up sueing the window co. for some big bucks. One more thing, if you put a camera out by the dumpster you also need to put a sign out there stating that the dumpster is under video servalance. Good luck with your new shop.

Thanks,

I learned from owning grocery stores that having camera's are just as important for people attempting to claim against your insurance as they are for security and theft reasons. I cannot even begin to recount the number of times I have caught customers attempting to fake a claim, and proved so with camera's.

Good point about the camera's, inside the building no such signs are required to be posted, but outside you are right. The other issue with putting video camera's outside and posting signs is that they always have to be working, and if not so, only a reasonable amount of time to get them working again is allowed. For example, you cannot legally put fake camera's outside your building to lead people to believe they are real. The reason for this is because a victim may believe the camera is real, and attempt to draw their attacker or whoever it is attempting to commit a crime against them, under a fake camera instead of a real one and thus be abused without video footage when they thought there would be.

I just wish people were "good" and all this wasn't necessary. Because I deal with precious metals I am also going through the process of getting a carry and conceal permit. I feel as our economy becomes worse and worse, more and more people are going to get it in their head that stealing is justified and attempt to do so.

Good luck with that in California. Didn't they just pass a law banning removable magazines from firearms along with banning lead bullets?

What a horrible state.

It seems, at least in my area of N. California that CC permits are being handed out more and more rapidly. There may be restrictions on types of guns and ammo, but the ability to carry them is still there.
