That's certainly an assumption... Is it true? Who knows?

Dis you read the article?

"Police allege Hudson got inside the restaurant through a side door despite attempts to keep him out. After starting a fight in the Applebee's, police say a customer who was armed shot and killed the man because Hudson allegedly reached into his pocket...."

Specifically, the "despite attempts to keep him out", and "After starting a fight"?

It wasn't just because "someone put their hand in their pocket"...

Correct. Just as I'm sure some crime exists outside the "ultra safe" gated community of Lakewood Ranch...

Regarding Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)
In UK most police cars are equipped with the above.
It alerts cops when a car that is not taxed, insured, stolen or is of interest too them passes by.
CCTV can also register same, and track cars and people and many can use facial recognition.
The movies are already here!

I'm fully aware of how license plate readers operate.

I'm referring to the facial recognition. While it does exist, it does not exist to the extent that it will stop crime before it happens...

It's going to get to the point where this is an "old story" and news outlets are not going to post updates once released.

Always difficult to determine actual crime stats, as there are just so many ways to set up the equation used to figure them !
Per capita The Villages was rated the third safest place to live in America.

When was the last time there was a shooting of this magnitude in TV?

There are no facts showing that. He did not leave with the people shooting in the car or cars. Probably because they were targeting him. He came into the bar for safety i.e. to get out of the shooters' field of fire.

Are the facts out yet? Do the facts show that?
