It is difficult to get a non-Villages golf cart to the MMPs but it is not at all difficult for a non-resident, non-guest to walk or bike to a MMP or to get a LSV to a MMP. Does your zero tolerance policy extend to checkpoints on the MMP to ensure only ID'd Villagers and guests are walking or biking on them?

Does the zero tolerance policy extend to roadblocks where the MMPs meet the county roads to check for golf cart speed settings? How about zero tolerance for exceeding the 35mph speed limit on Morse and Buena Vista? Otherwise, what percentage/number of freeloading trespassers and potential troublemakers are YOU willing to tolerate?

Also, those zero tolerance policies are going to require quite the buildup of the police force - something I've seen argued for and against in other threads.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
