Burglary Tourism: How Theft Groups Target Homes and How to Defend Yours with Mike O'Rourke of Advanced Operational Concepts

Andy interviews security expert Mike O'Rourke the CEO of Advanced Operational Concepts about "burglary tourism." These are gangs who enter the U.S. to conduct targeted burglaries of affluent homes.

O'Rourke details their tradecraft: OSINT/"Google casing," people-search sites, county records and Zillow, social media exploitation, vehicle follows, illegal trackers, hidden cameras to build patterns of life, and illegal Wi‑Fi/cellular jammers to defeat cloud-based security.

Together they discuss how you can protect your home, not only from foreign gangs, but from everyday threats.

Did We Accidentally Build a Surveillance Network?

Andy Murphy discusses automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras, explaining how they work, the positive change they bring and the negatives of constant surveillance.

He also covers expanding capabilities such as audio/distress detection, cybersecurity concerns about publicly accessible cameras, and emerging device-signal tracking like Leonardo's SignalTrace, arguing communities may have approved "plate readers" that evolved into broader surveillance systems.
