Police Video: Dalia Dippolito Case
Police started an investigation July 31 after a tipster informed them that the woman, was trying to have her husband killed.
An undercover police officer posing as a hit man met with Dippolito. Police taped the meetings.
At the faked crime scene, Dippolito sobbed, appearing inconsolable with grief. But Michael Dippolito wasn't dead; he was hidden away as investigators showed his wife a fake crime scene before arresting her.
They taped the notification, do you see any hotspots?◦

Signs of Violence with Guns is About to Occur
New York police are looking for a man that was caught on tape firing several shots into a business. Three men were struck, one died from a gunshot wound to the chest. This video is silent. (Oct. 13)
Having looked at several security camera tapes that ends with a person pulling a gun out, there are similarities that we can learn from.
You may want to view a previous post of this video where a person robs a store.
Some common things I see are: both hands in their pockets (already gripping the gun), some sort of 'checking out' of their 'goal,' and a backing off right before the violence starts- as if they give themselves some time to ask themselves if they were going to go through with it.◦

Signs of Danger and a Crime: Store Robbery Caught on Video
Aug 24, 2009
Watch this video a couple of times.
Watch the two people at the counter, they pick up on a couple of things that make them a little wary because they check out the two people that have just entered the business.
What we see are two people enter the store with their hands in their pockets, and the first one is fidgeting with what turns out to be a gun.
They are "friends" yet enter in a single file line with several feet between themselves. You'd expect them to be walking together as they approached the store, only separating as they entered through the doorway. Then it would be normal for them to stand together.
See the intensity of how they look towards their destination, when we enter a business it is more normal to glance at all parts of the area, to quickly gain an understanding of the space and to see if their are friends or foes around.
The leader is walking around, adrenaline is running through his system. He turns his back, this is to gain the courage... it is at this point where he will either chicken out or make his move...
Even though we do not see it is this case a couple of other signs of immediate danger are: are balling up hands into fist; some sort of slap of hands, chest thump, stomp of feet- something to get the blood going, eye intensity, sweat developing on the upper lip or brow, deep intake of breath.
It turns out these two victimize the clerk and still remain at large in the LA area.◦
