'Mahkamah akan pertonton rakaman CCTV'

Berhati-hati bila anda guna tuala 'Good Morning', berus gigi dan botol air mineral, jangan buang merata2 dan bila masuk bilik air atau bilik mandi, pastikan tak ada bulu yang berterbangan kerana bila2 masa polis boleh gunakan barang2 tersebut untuk dapatkan DNA anda....

Demikian juga halnya bila anda masuk ke kondo dan apartmen,awasi kerana CCTV sedang memerhati anda dan bila2 saja rakaman CCTV boleh digunakan bagi mendakwa anda....

cheers.
