Dear Old Pole Burner and others:
Has anyone heard about the new graffiti detectors that give alarm to the police when vandals are in the act of spraying graffitti? They are in use in Pinole, San Pablo, Richmond, and will become more widespread soon.
The police won't disclose any information about them, so no one knows what they look like or where they are placed. I can only guess that they detect the spray vapors and transmit an alarm to the police, giving the location. The police report that they are nabbing a lot of taggers in the act.
The Calif. Department of Transportation is the agency that is procuring the detectors and distributing them to local police agencies.
