Most TV Landers have worked long and hard to enjoy The Villages as fruits of their labor. I remember that about 5 years ago a softball player had their Corvette stolen in a parking lot near the Junior High School. In that case, he was NOT getting his or her just rewards in retirement. Certainly, nothing is perfect, but, in general, the retirees living in TV land deserve high-tech Law Enforcement and plenty of it. I have suggested high-tech cameras in neighborhoods and camera-carrying military-grade drones. Police or community service people on E-bikes because those riders are FORCED to be aware of their environment more than in a 4-wheel motor vehicle.

I don't have a problem with volunteers wanting to keep or improve their neighborhoods, but it might be too INSIGNIFICANT to concentrate on LITTLE things like white crosses too close to the road, or wrong shrubs, or painting a house with an unapproved paint color. Now, I would rather volunteers in a neighborhood report things like a motorhome parked too long or some more serious infraction. If I had my way I would like to have volunteers with speed guns and cameras set up in a way that would allow a legal speeding ticket to be issued. of course, there may be some legal problems. I guess that my main point is to better utilize the idea of "TROLLS" by upgrading their attention to BIGGER problems.

I think you should quit while you’re ahead, well maybe not ahead…

BTW, those 8 drones you proposed in your other post, you’re willing to pay the freight for 8 skilled drone operators? Think!
