Just because "AlarmNews.com reports on news in the alarm industry,
doesn't mean that they have to have any understanding or empathy with
the industry.


Just like any Newspaper or magazine, their job is to attract enough
readers so they'll read the advertisements so they can make money. It
doesn't make any difference who the readers are and no matter what
they say or what side they take, they're going to attract some and
repel others.

It doesn't matter what they say. Just like the opinionated News
media.

There are very few, if any, unbiased sources of information today.
Everybody has an agenda. The gulible and ignorant, are the victims.
Unfortunately they seem to be in the majority.

You are right Jim, there has to be more to this than meets the eye. Bay
Alarm is to big, to old and to out in the open, in a very highly regulated
industry in California. CAA and the NBFAA are not regulatory agencies. They
have no jurisdiction over licensing. They are both membership driven
organizations, as is any association. The CAA can let anyone they want into
their club, licensed or not, if they so choose. Besides, that association is
made up of several smaller associations. I am not sure if they are under one
set, or multiple sets, of by-laws. The CAA is a charter member of the NBFAA.
Each individual member of CAA is not necessarily a member of the NBFAA. The
NBFAA likes dealing with state associations and their membership numbers.
Individual membership is available, but it is not the NBFAA's main target.

If I am not mistaken, I believe Bay Alarm was one of the first consulting
companies for the NFPA when they were writing 730 and 731. That would be a
hoot if Bay was illegal.

Any action against Bay Alarm for unlicensed activity, if any, should have
been handled through the Department of Consumer Affairs, if that is who is
still handling alarm licensing in California. It has been awhile, like the
80's, since I worked out there.
