The city center of Albuquerque Business finds a unique solution for the contraception of crime

Albuquerque, NM – A business owner in downtown Central Avenue in the city center deals in a creative yet simple way. All it contains is a ring camera, WLAN and a water sprinkle.

Thierry Gonzalez has had a company in the city center for three years and says that he has dealt with great security concerns for his employees and customers since the first day. People gathered on the back door of his building and went to the toilet, drugs drugs and even exposed themselves to sexual activities.

“We had a lot of problems with people who use our back door as a bathroom or as a place to record or whatever,” said Gonzales.

The consequences of garbage, needles, urine and more create an unsanitary and uncertain environment. In addition, he and his employees have to go through an extensive cleaning process several times a week.

“It is really difficult to ask your employees to go out there and clean human feces. It is just ridiculous. We have to go through an entire process with bleach and water, and they need to know, protecting equipment and all of that,” said Gonzales.

As impractical as the process may be, the idea for a possible solution has also triggered.

“We just have a ring camera and a PVC pipe and a sprinkler and a Wi-Fi magnetic valve and for less than $ 150. I will be notified when someone in the zone is on my phone. We can talk to you about the camera. If you don't go, we let you go to the bathroom with water.

Other companies in the region that have to deal with similar problems have been noticed and asked how they can install their own shower system.

“The first question they asked is:” How did you do that? “Then I get a lot of people who tell me that they should transform it into a product and sell it,” said Gonzales.

As unique as the idea is, the top priority for Gonzalez is the security of its employees and customers. He says that the shower was already effective. They went from unwanted visitors about twice a day to about every other day.

“We cannot rely on someone who can treat the problem for us and we do what we can do to combat it ourselves, but do it in a safe way,” said Gonzales.

Some people have wondered about the legality of spraying these people with water. According to our research, it is not entirely clear. In New Mexico, to prove attack and battery, it must be committed in an “rude, insolent or angry species” so that this case can fall in a gray area.
