Oliver North named threats from the media and potential enemies as reasons for installing his home security system. He expressed concerns about the safety of his family due to the controversy surrounding his role in the Iran-Contra affair. North felt that increased security was necessary to protect against possible retaliation or harassment.
Oliver North wasn't convicted for his actual crimes--raising money to fund the Contra rebels in Nicaragua by selling weapons to Iran--but for accepting an illegal gratuity, a security system for his home. As Iran was an enemy of the United States at the time, convicting Oliver North of selling guns to the Iranians would have meant convicting him of treason and Oliver North was very popular at the time.
