CaughtOnCamera: This Couple Has No Idea They’re Standing Next To A Black Bear
PASADENA, Calif. — Dry weather and high temperatures likely combined to draw out a California black bear from the Angeles National Forest this week and in one case onto the front porch of a Pasadena home, according to wildlife experts. “It must be so dry up there and it’s hot and now he’s looking for something to eat,” said Ricky Whitman, a spokeswoman for the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA. “Closer to where there’s garbage and where the people are is something that would lure them down.” The drought affecting Southern California has dried up the vegetation that the bears would normally feast on, said Whitman. A bear wandered Thursday afternoon for a couple of hours between homes near the Eaton Canyon Park Golf Course close to Old House Road and Sierra Madre Villa Avenue. Police and California Department of Fish and Wildlife wardens were on scene, according to reports. Janice Mackey a spokeswoman for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, said the bear made it back into the forest unassisted. A Scottish couple visiting family in Pasadena had a close encounter Tuesday with a California black bear, which was captured on security cameras installed outside the home. The footage showed the couple coming out of the home without noticing the bear, which was lurking a few feet away on the front porch. The bear followed the couple off of the porch and out of the view of the camera. Bobby McKeown said he felt something at his […]

CaughtOnCamera: Wild Arrest In Detroit
Detroit Police Department wild arrest caught on camera A wild arrest was caught on tape and only 7 Action News has obtained the video. There’s no disputing the traffic stop in Detroit turned ugly fast with fists flying between a cop and the woman he pulled over. The woman and her family say the officer was way out of line and the police say he was doing his job. This all happened in the parking lot of a party store on 7 Mile Road – where security cameras watch everything. It all began Sunday afternoon with the officer ticketing the woman for no seatbelt, no registration, no license and expired plates. But as the stop appeared to be wrapping up, words are exchanged – and everything went sideways. When the officer tried to place the woman under arrest, she wouldn’t cooperate and he took her down. It’s what happens next that the woman, her family and witnesses say is way out of line. The officer pulled out his handcuffs, and, in the struggle, appears to hit her. The store owner, who doesn’t want his face shown, says that’s when he stepped in. He says "he punched her twice on the face. I told the officer stop hitting her twice and that’s when he stopped." The woman ended up in the back of the patrol car moments later where her aunt captured her on cell phone video of her saying "he’s over there laughing and he’s just hit me over […]

CaughtOnCamera: SUV Plows Into House
suv crashes home An SUV is seen crashing into a Texas home on Dec. 30, captured by security cameras. (Photo: WFAA-TV, Dallas) Tarrant County, TEXAS — First, you see the lights approaching. Then, the impact makes you cringe. Again. And again. And again. Four cameras aimed in four directions clearly capture a hit-and-run, with Rick and Mary Whitbeck’s house falling victim to a speeding SUV. The Whitbecks were out of town Monday morning when a white SUV plowed into their home at 3:32 a.m., according to the camera’s clock. Seconds later, cameras show the SUV in reverse and backing out of the big mess. The Whitbecks have eight security cameras at their home, installed because they’d been burglarized. Four cameras are in the front yard. They covered up the hole and shored up the roof, but they face thousands of dollars in repair to a home they totally renovated themselves. They hope the video leads to the driver being caught, they said.

CaughtOnCamera: Security Video Of Blazing Meteor
[embedded content] There’s nothing quite like seeing a massive fireball burn through the night’s sky. Much bigger and brighter than a shooting star, these dramatic meteors tend to catch onlookers’ attention. One recent fireball that blazed over Iowa and surrounding states, caused hundreds of wowed residents to call in the sighting to the American Meteor Society. The meteor appeared on December 26 around 5:45pm local time. More than 1,200 people reported the sighting, making it the third most reported fireball in the history of the society’s online reporting system. Some witnesses said the fireball was as bright as the sun, while others noted sonic effects and delayed booms. A few said the meteor’s color ranged from yellow to orange to blue. The fireball was caught on tape by a security camera at the public works facility in North Liberty, Iowa. In the black-and-white video, the meteor can be seen from several different angles as it shines through the sky and at times illuminates the houses and roads below. Earlier this month marked the annual Geminid meteor shower, which is the most vivid of all showers. The Geminid light show is typically full of fireballs, along with more than 100 meteors per hour. This year, the shower kicked off on December 4 and peaked on December 13 and 14. Here is a heat map that shows where people were when they reported seeing the most recent fireball over Iowa: (Credit: American Meteor Society) Other Articles:

CaughtOnCamera: Hit-and-Run
Hit-and-run victim escapes injury Hit-and-run victim escapes injury A lot of people in the mountains are saying a man is lucky to be alive after he managed to escape getting severely hurt in a collision with an SUV. The whole thing was caught on camera. In the surveillance video that’s posted on YouTube.com, you can see an SUV pull into the oncoming left turning lane on Haywood Road in Asheville, meeting a scooter head-on. The scooter gets hit, but the man on it escapes. That was Friday afternoon around 2 on Haywood Road in Asheville. “I made sure I shook his hand by the end of the day because he’s the luckiest man I met in a while,” Lane Reid said. Reid was inside his office at Image 420 when he says his employees saw the collision. “I looked up at my camera screen and was like ‘Oh my goodness.’ Traffic was backed up. This guy was walking around. It was pretty nuts,” Reid said. Security cameras outside Reid’s business caught the impact, commotion and the driver waiting for a moment before pulling away. So Reid posted it on YouTube.com. “I wanted to get the guy that did it,” Reid said. Asheville police told WYFF News 4 that because of that surveillance video and the community’s help, they’ve tracked down the person driving the SUV. But police would not tell us why the driver took off, saying that was part of the investigation. Meanwhile, the video has been seen […]

CaughtOnCamera: Seattle Gunman Tackled By Metro Bus Passengers
A Seattle gunman was tackled to the ground by heroic bus passengers on November 25, 2013. The raw footage from the bus security cameras caught the entire incident on tape. The gunman, Seattle 19-year-old Trevonnte Brown, got onto the King County Metro bus in downtown. Once the bus began moving, he pulled out his gun and made his way towards the other passengers. Robbing two passengers of their cellphones, Brown continued to proceed to the front of the bus. Chris Briggs, one of the victims, told reporters, “He came up to me … stuck the gun at me and took my phone. He jabbed me a little harder and said, ‘Don’t make this any harder than it has to be.’” The surveillance footage reveals that an unknown hero jumped on the masked gunman and tackled him to the ground, without a shot being fired. At that point Briggs and several others joined in the pile up while other passengers ran for safety. Brown was held by the heroic passengers until authorities could arrive. “People were kind of committed at that point,” Briggs said. “It was just kinda one of those things that no one gave any thought to once things started happening.” Brown was arrested and charged with three counts of robbery and one count of attempted robbery, according to ABC new affiliate KOMO . He pleaded guilty to all counts, reports KOMO. The masked Seattle gunman is being held on $350,000 bail. The next hearing in his case […]

CaughtOnCamera: Mystery Driver’s Reverse Into Two Vehicles In Car Park
We’ve all been there – having to very carefully edge out of a busy car park without bumping into any other vehicles. Sadly for this motorist, they got their reverse manoeuvre completely wrong by losing control and smashing into two parked cars. The dozy driver tentatively edges out of a parking space, before unexpectedly stamping on the accelerator and shooting backwards while turning 180 degrees. The silver hatchback smashes into the back of two cars, sending one hurtling forwards, as it spins into a corner. The errant vehicle may even have smashed into a third car off camera before coming to a stop. Security cameras captured the drama at Olton railway station near Solihull, West Mids, on Friday, September 27. Amazingly, the driver sits at a standstill after the smash for around a minute, before slowly driving out of the car park as if nothing happened. [Britain’s distracted drivers: Motorists caught on camera putting make-up on, writing on pads and even brushing their TEETH] Investigating officer Pc Ali Jama, said: ‘We are now two months on from this incident taking place shortly after 1.20pm on Friday, 27 September. ‘Despite extensive inquiries, officers have yet to trace the driver of the silver Ford Escort which collided with three parked cars before the driver left the scene.

CaughtOnCamera: Man Sues Washington Metro After Planting Banana Peel
U.S Maurice Owens sued the D.C. transit authority for $15,000 after he claimed he slipped and fell on a banana peel in an elevator in the Potomac Ave. station. But new footage reveals that Owens is the one who put the peel on the floor in the first place and he’s now been charged with second-degree fraud. By Lee Moran / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Wednesday, November 27, 2013, 9:03 AM Maurice Owens alleged he slipped and fell on a banana peel inside a Washington Metro station in early August. Security video captured Owens staring into the camera — and no noticeable banana peel on the elevator’s floor. Throughout the security clip, Owens reaches into his pocket repeatedly. It is believed he purposely dropped it and faked his fall. Owens’ lawsuit against the Washington Metro was tossed out and he was charged with second-degree fraud for planting the banana peel and pretending to slip on it.

CaughtOnCamera: Tornado Hits Indiana Middle School
Video shows destruction. Cafeteria hit, ceilings collapse into the halls, gymnasium destroyed LAFAYETTE (WTHR NBC13) Security video of a tornado striking a Lafayette middle school has the school district doing its homework on how best to keep kids safe. No decision has been made on demolishing or refurbishing Southwestern Middle School, which was hit by one of dozens of tornadoes to hit Indiana November 17. “This is the first impact and it hits the west wall and then the south wall,” said Principal Karen Smith. The video as the tornado impacted Southwestern Middle School is harrowing. School security cameras captured the scene. “When you see light, that means the west wall is already gone. That is the light from the outside coming in,” said Smokey Anderson, head of emergency management for Tippecanoe County. The tornado hit on a Sunday when there were no students at the school. You can imagine a much worse outcome had kids been in these halls or in the cafeteria. Watch- 13 WTHR Indianapolis
