A woman who spent nine years in prison on burglary charges has offered inaccurate information about how alarm systems work that may help send others to jail in the future. Her comments appeared on her TikTok account.
She incorrectly describes the two-call notification process SIAC developed with law enforcement by saying that police do not respond if they cannot speak with someone at the alarm site. Just the opposite is true.
She tells her viewers that pets indicate interior sensors are disarmed, even though they can be adjusted to account for pets in the home.
The publications that printed her comments do not appear to have checked with anyone in the alarm industry to determine whether her comments were accurate.
