When you followed suspicious persons, did you do it on foot or in your car? Did you ever confront them and ask what they are doing there? Were any of those suspicious people arrested?
We did not have "community watch" the police asked us to be their eyes and ears.

We followed in our vehicle 'cause we couldn't keep up on foot. Yes I confronted several drug dealers on my corner and told them to "get the hell off my block" and yes they ultimately were arrested. I know there was a level of risk involved, but I was determined to get our block cleaned up and put these guys out of business. We can't as a society continue to "mind our own business and look the other way" 'cause the bad guys will end up winning in the end.
