When Jennifer Anne Kaufman fled the stolen vehicle she was driving Monday, she cut across some pastureland, trying to evade police. After all, it was dark and maybe the Seminole County Sheriff’s helicopter couldn't see her well. But she didn't count on a herd of cows following her! Cows know that a person in their field might mean getting fed, or at least something novel to see. In this case, they saw an arrest. A search of the stolen SUV yielded a gram of cocaine.

What is scary to me is the quality of the night vision video. The first time I used an infrared camera, it was cooled with argon and cost $25,000. I installed night vision security cameras 15 years ago for $200 apiece. Now one can buy an IR camera that attaches to a smartphone for the same price and the quality is almost as good as this.
