FireMedic 1,724 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Many times, bad guys can place devices like this to see the response time and reaction times of your emergency services.......they will just sit back and observe what you do. Then they can plan more effective attacks. Link to post Share on other sites
