Viper Unit gets guns off the street on New Year's Eve

The only one I know of for sure was in the old Walmart parking lot across from J mall behind KFC all the way in the back. He said they put it there in May and they took it away yesterday. I've seen police cars parked there almost every night, sometimes two police cars or a police car and a POV. Never paid much attention to it until he told me about the camera. Is this really an issue with this agency?
