Well, we have a "failure to Police the ILLEGAL speeds of Golf Carts" situation that is COMPARABLE.
.........Since it was just admitted that The Villages LACKS sufficient Police for the wealth of the area - I can imagine that any local CROOK then also is aware of that fact. And heaven FORBID that a crazed mass murderer wanted to attack an evening SQUARE - what then? Add more POLICE..........after the fact.
........Old people are ALWAYS a target of CRIME. And old RICH people are a greater target.
.........Conclusion.......when we have ENOUGH POLICE PRESENCE to deter ILLEGAL Golf Cart speeding, we will have enough POLICE PRESENCE to deter the more SERIOUS CRIMES. Everyone agrees that we The Villages CITIZENS are paying a lot to be here. Surely we DESERVE to be SAFE!!!!
The DEVELOPERS do not pay for local police...
