Police investigate another sex attack

A 24-year-old woman is the latest victim to join the growing number of women to be sexually assaulted in Brisbane.

Police say the victim was walking home along Blakeney Street in the inner-city suburb of Highgate Hill shortly before midnight when she was grabbed by a teenager and pushed to the ground and assaulted.

Her screams scared her attacker off.

The offender is described as being about 15 to 17-years-old.

Police are trying to stem the flow of assaults on the city's northside through Operation Echo Shine.

So far there have been 38 confirmed attacks on women in the area, despite ongoing police warnings about personal safety.

Griffith University criminologist Stephen Smallbone said last week those responsible are being driven by the notoriety of their crimes or their sexual fantasies and warned the attacks may escalate.

As a woman, I find that extremely frightening. I had a friend who lived in a an apartment and got broken into. She never felt safe going back there again. Since her landlord refused to buy her a new door, so she had to buy her own. But, she did some research and found a product, called the Safe Door Systems and it prevents someone from forcibly entering. Aparently it has been on a couple of news reports for preventing second attempted break ins. www.safedoorsystems.com

Sounds like some self defense classes are in order. Also, if I lived in that area with all those attacks occurring I would definitely have some sort of personal protection product like a pepper spray. And, I would be very aware of my surroundings and have a mental plan in place in case of attack so if I were attacked I would react automatically instead of freezing.

In the recent past, surveillance equipment, such as hidden cameras, were only used by officials in the government and

private investigators, and perverts.

Today, everyday people are finding a great need for this once specialized equipment.

Millions of Americans use nanny cams to check on babysitters and many more use surveillance cameras to keep an eye on

homes and businesses. Today, hidden camera catch millions of theives and pediphiles.

What's better, video is proof is evidence that only surveillance camera can give.

These products are very easy to install yourself. In fact, most require no installation at all. They only need to be turned on.

Let me help you find the surveillance system that is right for you.


There are three important specifications to look for in a quality hidden camera:

2.40 GHz Transmitters:
VERY High powered 2.4 GHz transmitters that can send video signals up to three times further than other transmitters.

Battery Packs: You have to supply power to wireless surveillance and hiddencameras. This is usually done with a battery

pack. Most battery packs can only supply power for up to 5 hours. Then you have to throw that pack away and get
a new one. Use only 12 volt battery packs that last up to a 8 hours THAT ARE RECHARGABLE.

Lens Technology: CCD (Charged Coupled Device) is the best lens to use in a cameras. There are cheaper lenses on the

market, but none of them produce the high quality images that CCD lenses do. CCD lenses are high resolution and
highly sensitive to light, allowing them to record in outdoor and low-light conditions.

WARNING!
There are many cameras out there that use 1.2 GHz transmitters and receivers. 1.2 GHz frequency is not approved by the

FCC for transmitting wireless video. The FCC is aware of the situation and is conducting an ongoing investigation
into the production and distribution of 1.2 GHz surveillance products. There are many reasons to only use cameras that

are FCC approved 2.4 GHz.

There is a huge selection of surveillance equipment to choose from. The best products can be found at the link below:
