CCTV And
Recorded Footage Take On Casino Criminals
When Ah Tung was fighting a Macau casino to honor a
$95,000 jackpot she won on a slot machine, the 16-year-old had reason to
thank the CCTV cameras, reports Agence France-Press (AFP).
The video footage helped the teenage Hong Kong native win the money
after Sands casino in the southern Chinese city refused to pay her,
arguing she was too young to be there.
The unprecedented case, which made headlines worldwide in February, was
decided when Macau's gaming watchdog promised whoever won a game
"without cheating" would receive their payouts.

Canadian
Security Personnel Face Stricter Rules
Ontario's private security industry quietly entered a
new era when legislation governing private security guards and
investigators came into force, reports The London Free Press.
Designed to better define the role of a growing number of security
personnel and ensure stricter standards of training, the new act
overhauls rules that had been in place since 1966.
The new legislation, the Private Security and Investigative Services
Act, requires all private security practitioners to be licensed,
including in-house security staff, such as those working for retailers
and bars, who were previously exempt.
