A few years ago I announced that I was a member of the now
struggling Noise Off and Dare programs
and was also instrumental in bringing the crime prevention program to a former
neighborhood in which I lived. In that
former neighborhood the use of security cameras became a necessary deterrent against
the drug pushers that sold illegal drugs while mocking and terrorizing their neighbors in various
ways unchecked for three long years.
Today the use of security cameras for home protection is
becoming more common as increasing crime make residents realize that cameras
are a must to protect both the inside and outside of their homes.
This being stated and because of the recent criminal
activities coming from old sources and surprisingly new ones in my present
neighborhood, just being a member of the neighborhood crime prevention program
is not enough. I learned this from that former neighborhood.
Therefore, our use of security cameras has become part of the reason for the harassment we
experience here. In addition, knowing that
we are not the only residents victimized here does not bring us any comfort as we do not know who is
trustworthy among our neighbors. Still the cameras are in no way the cause for the
harassment. They are the result of past and continuous Illegal actions.
As stated in previous posts the troublemakers in this area
dislike the cameras and have done awful things to get them removed. The
security cameras are legal , but still,
the troublemakers are unwilling to accept that it is their harassment (
yes, criminal actions) that has caused the cameras to come into existence.
Below is a copy of the letter sent to me by Anthony Holloway, Chief of Police in St.
Petersburg, Florida. It stands as our truth that we have done no wrong. He is thanking me registering our camera and thereby
becoming members of the Eagle Eye Program.
My lawn sign. Nothing is hidden here.
As stated in previous posts the cameras are here to stay.
