Chief Gordon Ramsay responds after officer blocks home security camera

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) - Kameron Prouse says police tell him they were responding to an anonymous tip, but why did they have to move the camera? "When I woke this morning to see that it was turned, and seen it was two officers, it kind of threw me for a loop." Kameron Prouse says he wasn't expecting any late night company. "They didn't announce themselves," says Prouse. The guests, Wichita police officers.They can be seen shining a light on a car outside the home. The officers then approach the home and walk on the porch. The video shows one officer turning the camera and blocking it. Late this afternoon, Prouse says police called and explained to him that the officers knocked. "I wasn't aware of any knocking," says Prouse. "My dogs weren't barking." The knocking can't be seen because the camera was turned. Prouse says police told him they were responding to an anonymous tip about a domestic disturbance and he says, they say, police turn the cameras to make sure they aren't being ambushed or watched. "Just kind of weird," Prouse says. Prouse says it turned out jeopardizing his safety. "I was nervous," he says. "My sense of security was gone. That's the whole reason why it is up, is so I have security for my family and for myself." We have reached out to police to ask why the camera was turned and why they were at the home. Chief Gordon Ramsay released this statement late this evening: "If an officer can articulate safety concerns I will support their decision. With the rapidly changing technology and the increasing number of home security cameras we always need to be reviewing our practices to ensure they are in line with the expectations of our community." Police are also expected to release more on the incident Tuesday.
