Community Watch told me to call Lake County Police Department, but if I didn't have the woman's name and address, there's nothing they could do. I later called the District Office, who told me to call the nearby Rec Center.

The rules are only for *some* people, apparently not for everyone.

Community Watch does not have police powers and cannot detain or arrest people. They are mainly a deterrent to more serious crimes done inside the bubble by outsiders. They do not get paid enough to get involved in things which may turn physical. I agree, that he could of at least told the guy he was breaking the law. You should have called SCSP if you felt threatened at the Lake Miona incident. For the repeat offender down South, Wildwood PD has a bunch of hard charging young officers, I would try calling next time and the guy might get a ticket. I agree, that the CW person could of at least told the guy he was breaking the law.
