    You don't need another law, stealing is already a crime, breaking into the pump is a crime, after a certain amount it's felonies. More legislation isn't the answer secure pumps are.

    • @preachers4135
      @preachers4135 Рік тому +6

      Precisely! The crime is stealing, the end result is stealing, shouldn’t matter what tools, devices, methods they use. A well managed station will find out their pump has been sabotaged fairly quickly and reviewing the cameras (has they did to trace the two pictures vehicles in the video) will show the perpetrators. Find and charge the thieves appropriately.
      - Who remembers the days before “pay at the pump” when you simply pulled up to the pump, filled up then walked inside to pay? Back in the good ‘ol days, pre 9/11, when America was great.

    What is wrong with people thinking that “banning” this or that will change the behavior of criminals? Theft is theft, murder is murder. They are both illegal, but happen anyway. You can not legislate morality.

      Same reason, the same people think banning guns will change the behavior of criminals.
      Theft is theft, murder is murder.
      Criminals are gunna do what they want anyways even if it’s illegal, they don’t obey the law.
      These people that “make laws” think that we live in a perfect world where making a law against something means nobody is gunna do that thing anymore because it’s illegal.

    also i think the pumps should have better security too.

      Why make a device illegal. It's not possible to know what a device is until it's fitted to a pump. It should be illegal to tamper with the pump in order to steal. It's made of a collection of legal parts. They need not be assembled until fitment to the pump. If you make simple electronic components illegal you will have a lot of people arrested over harmless devices.
