Philippine cops post anti-crime videos on YouTube to protect citizens
Police from the Philippines' financial district in Makati City have found a cheaper and effective way to warn and protect the public against criminals. They have posted videos on the popular video website YouTube showing methods used by different criminals to victimize people.

Local newspapers reported that the 15 videos, which were produced with the participation of actual criminals, show various scenarios and different methods used by syndicates and criminals to steal, rob, kidnap and rape, including how they steal ATM and credit cards. The videos narrated in the Filipino language can be viewed by typing the title "Criminal Modus Operandi" in the search field of YouTube.
According to Makati City police chief Gilbert Cruz, the videos were originally recorded on DVDs but they can only produce a limited number of the aforementioned videos because it was expensive to make copies of these in that way. He said they decided to broadcast the videos on YouTube because it was free and has a wider audience.
Cruz said the videos will be updated regularly and English versions will be produced.
