'StreetZaps' Helps You Detect Stray Voltage

streetzaps.jpg

We are in for another scorcher today and, according to group that tracks stray electrical voltage, the temperature actually raises your risk for getting an electric shock on the street.

Our James Ford was live in PIX Plaza with an exclusive look at an online tool that says it can do what electric companies, including ConEd, cannot. It's called StreetZaps and their goal is to "reduce the year round risk of injury and fatality from contact voltage shocking or electrocution resulting from damaged or tampered wiring."

I like the question of today segment, and i feel that saggy pants should be outlaw because it only shows the kind of education provided by their parents and our society. Our nation was built on strong smarts and proper education and im sure if older people we're to see something like this in the 30,s 40,s or even 60,s the streets will be filled with criticism as it is today.
If im a retail store owner and i see teens come into my store dressed with saggy pants i would trow them out no questions asked period.
