How much money for false alarm fines/fees have you paid the city, due to Unnecessary Police Response. It can range from several hundred to several thousand annually. (costly alarms) You could be eligible for refunds/rebates because it can be an unlawful act of the ordinance and your alarm contract. For the last several decades false alarm ordinances have designated the alarm site as the “perpetrator” of false alarms. However, it now appears that courts may reverse that ruling because it can be unlawful to contract with a third party to break the law in your behalf. The monitoring company is the “perpetrator” because it is paid to audit the incoming signals with professional “analytics” and apply professional judgment as to when to request police response, ie the “perpetrator”. Sources of remote monitoring now have near total immunity for their errors and omissions, aka false alarm. Note: I have some law training but not an attorney. Consult your own counsel.
