[QUOTE="David2012, post: 1870076, member: 24428"] I never heard any thing about a convicted felon not being able to have any security cameras on their property.... unless it may have something to do with preventing child molesters / sex offenders watching kids or drug dealers from watching for LEO's. My city will install a street light on an existing utility pole for $8 a month or for $15 a month they will set a pole whereever you want it. I have one in the front of my house next to my driveway and one out back by my workshop. The city supplies the electricity and changes the bulbs as needed for the low monthly fee. You might want to check to see if something like that is available in your area. The charge is just added to our electic bill each month. After the Zmmerman crap... I wouldn't be a part of a 'official' watch group-- way to much liability. If you have a carry permit, it makes you more of a armed security guard, than a armed private citizen protecting your own property. But I and my neighbors keep a pretty good watch around the neighborhood anyway. We try to keep the loud music and speeding up & down the street under control.. and call the police to investigate all strangers walking or biking in the area [especially after dark]..... that keeps alot of the late night traffic under control. The police have often times recognized potential thieves that they have run out of other neighborhoods.. who were out looking for new territory to hit. There for a while, during the day we were getting a lot of door-to-door peddlers working in pairs trying to get into the houses of our elderly neighbors. Some would intimidate the elderly or give them some crap about their social security being in trouble to get inside the house and rob them. One would distract the elderly person whle the other would rumage through the house. So now we call the cops to check [U]all[/U] peddler / salesman licenses. Main thing is to get everyone in the community to always press charges whenever the little thugs & vandals are caught red handed. So many times the victim is afraid to press charges because of the fear of retaliation.. they just want to let the insurance cover the damage and end up paying higher rates a lot of times. [/QUOTE]
