Was anyone else surprised that 911 had to be called by Mr Pelosi?

[Ferrets are Cool]

I would have thought that, because of the obvious threats to her, that they would have security cameras and break in alerts in their home. Maybe they did and they just were not armed.

I know I had gotten very lackadaisical before we were broken into this year, but since, I have taken every precaution that I can afford.

[onecaliberal]

1. Yes.

It’s now telegraphed how vulnerable they all are. Including their families.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

2. Apparently there -were- cameras in their home in San Francisco. But...

Capitol Police cameras caught break-in at Pelosi home, but no one was watching

[Ferrets are Cool]

4. Yeah, I saw that.

I would think that ANY Democratic politician would have alarm systems installed, but what do I know.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

7. I bet the house has a system. Probably just not armed out of complacency.

[Ferrets are Cool]

8. I have been quilty of this.

We had an intruder earlier this year. Our sweet doggo was the only reason he was chased from our home.
I changed my idiotic ways after that...it was scary.

Attack At Pelosi Home Caught By Unattended Capitol Police Cameras ...

TodayNick Visser Nov 1, 2022, 10:52 PM EDT Security cameras installed at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's home in San Francisco captured the break-in before her husband was attacked by a man with a hammer last week, but U.S. Capitol Police officers weren't actively monitoring them at the time, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.

10. Well, blast a copy of that video far and wide

Especially to Musk and trump. Enough of this bullshit that the guy was breaking OUT!

[milestogo]

5. No.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

6. I think the families of leadership should absolutely be protected by our tax dollars.

But absent that protection, why wouldn’t someone like the Pelosis not have their own security?

It’s kind of a rhetorical question - because lots of $100 millionaires walk and drive around without bodyguards. If I was that loaded I would have a driver and 24 hour security.

I don’t get it.

[Meowmee]

9. I was surprised they did not have bodyguards post jan 6

We were broken into twice over many years. Once while away on vacation, it was likely teens. Once targeted by a bad actor for a reason. My mother and brother woke up and heard them, I slept through it.

[MrsCoffee]

19. They probably would have if the SS had informed them of the threats they were receiving.

But they held on to that information until after the insurrection.

[Meowmee]

21. I had not heard of that.

But I would think Nancy being a target then would be enough. It certainly would’ve been enough for me.

[betsuni]

11. Had to be that he forgot to turn on the alarm system or it wasn't working.

A woman home alone would be nervous, but a man maybe not so much and he forgot.

First thing I thought about because I recently saw "The Watcher" series on Netflix wherein a family buys a house and receives threatening letters and puts in a security system and cameras, so it was on my mind.

[Pachamama]

12. My. Biggest surprise was that they didn't have a security system that can detect breaking glass &

…. A panic button.

I have in my home not just cameras and motion sensors, but where we have lots of French glass doors there are sensors for the sound of breaking glass - yes - there is apparently a distinct pitch and sound that can be detected.

We also have in several places - by the bed and even in a bathroom - where you can press a panic button that will call 911.

That the Speaker of the House didn’t have this is the biggest surprise of all.

Hope this changes for all members of Congress, Judges and their families especially with the given threats.

[Ferrets are Cool]

13. I agree 100%. As we all know, however, hindsight is 20/20.

Since being broken into this spring, I have taken all the measures I can afford.

[LisaL]

14. They had a security system.

But security systems need to be "armed" in order for an alarm to sound.

[MrsCoffee]

22. It was armed. The Capitol Police were not actively monitoring the cameras.

I don't know if there is a sound system or if alarms go off, but the cameras were live.

https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3716288-capitol-police-werent-monitoring-cameras-at-pelosis-home-as-they-captured-break-in/

Capitol Police said its policy is to only monitor the residence’s cameras — some of 1,800 the agency has access to — around the clock when the Speaker is there.

“While the Speaker was with her security detail in Washington, D.C., the San Francisco cameras were not actively monitored as they are when the Speaker is at the residence,” the agency said. “The Command Center personnel noticed the police activity on the screen and used the feeds to monitor the response and assist investigators.”

But the Capitol Police announced on Wednesday that they had begun an internal security review following the attack, which became the latest incident to raise fresh questions about lawmaker security.

15. Yes, Pelosi is second in line to be the president.

[Horse with no Name]

16. Unfortunately where I live

I have had to take precautions for many years.
No political signs, no bumper stickers. I am just quiet about my political leanings so my house doesn’t get burned down. These people are crazy.

[Emile]

17. Their crimes go unpunished that's why they are emboldened

to bully any dissent.

[Ferrets are Cool]

18. I am in the same boat down in lower Alabama

Not to mention my business would suffer. Yes, it makes me a hypocrite, but I do have to keep a roof over my head and food on the table.

[Horse with no Name]

20. I know the area!

Yes it is bad. I don’t think it is hypocritical, just self preservation.

[Kaleva]

23. I would have thought the doors would have been tougher to break through

A glass patio door doesn't do much to deter a home invader

[BlackSkimmer]

24. I'm just very surprised they didn't have better security.

Someone posted here yesterday that a friend of theirs got on her porch “to take a selfie.”

I can’t imagine what I’d do if I saw someone on my porch, but I do have a fence around my house, so they’d have to come through a gate first.

It’s amazing to me that she didn’t have better precautions.
