Some have and some do deserve the break. Others may not. I lived nextdoor to one rso for a while who was a very nice man. He did his time for being with a girl who said she was 20 when she wasn't and all hell broke loose on him. He did his time and has his life long scarlet letter now. He's was a great neighbor.

There are a lot of rso who are not nice. Lived around the corner from one here in T V who tried to slowly back me into a comprimising position as I was washing my car one day as a newbie to T V. I recognized what he was doing and quickly moved away. From that moment on my guard was up. I did not harass him but I did not interact with him. One cannot assume that age of victim disqualifies a victim, even in T V.

Agree with don't go on a war path toward a neighbor who has done their time and has a scarlet letter now. EVERYONE has a story and testimony to tell. There are no perfect people - hence the concept of grace. Respect is a two way street.

FL, thank God, has a judicial process that is still in use. Retired people have plenty of time to be vigilant and observant to protect the vulnerable. That person wearing a scarlet letter could just be the person to "see something and say something" that FL law makers are encouraging. Needless to say, I for one do like a locked door at night... even here in T V.
