However, going through all 7 pages of the thread do not reveal ANY posts by jimjamuser.

IT SHOULD BE NOTED: Posts that are missing from the thread (completely removed) are post #'s 42, 45, 58, 59, 88, 89, 96, and 99.

Perhaps people can remove their entire posts - or else he had moderator assistance in doing so.

Have you, by any chance, "ignored" JJ? A configuration change to the forums a few months ago now make those posts completely invisible which sounds much like eight posts you noted.

Ahhhh, yes! A new lesson learned by an old dog. I had indeed placed him on PermaBan for his constant railing about Karen-like issues and Climate Change lies / propaganda / misinformation.

You can still access the posts that are now missing entirely by going to his page and clicking on "Find all posts by jimjamuser" and they are listed there after all the recent EV thread posts.

Very interesting.

I'm seeing some of those posts from jimmyjam...

Once again... Ponderous...

Well, problem solved...

Of course, he'll never see any of my replies to him (unless someone quotes my post), since he's put me on "ignore". Which explains why he won't respond to my simple question about what EV he drives, when imploring others to buy one...

.......Residents of TV have a LEGITIMATE need for SAFETY. Officials of TV need to provide the budget and the details for that SAFETY. Safety is the main goal of ALL government units from Federal to State and LOCAL. Safety can NOT be EXCLUDED from ANY local budget. If TV Land can ENFORCE building codes for SAFETY, then, for SAFETY they can enforce golf cart speed controls.. Personally, if I had a vote on whether to add more Police to enforce ALL SAFETY issues or constantly replacing flowers on the roundabouts. Or constantly having broken gates because they can't make the warning signs big enough or bright enough. Or having INSANELY tall Christmas trees just dripping with decoration MONEY.
..........I wonder, could there be MONEY taken out of the square entertainment budget. What about the MONEY for the POLO grounds, which myself and thousands of other Village RESIDENTS would NEVER set foot in. And could we do WITHOUT EVEN ONE golf course for 20 POLICEPERSONS. I know how I would vote! And now you ALL DO TOO !!!!!!!

I don't believe that non-law enforcement personnel can implement a traffic stop and issue a citation. At least not on public roads. In fact, trying to do such a thing could land a non-law enforcement person in serious trouble. And I do not know how TV could legally create its own police department. What jurisdiction would it fall under? You are talking three different counties and numerous cities. There would have to be some kind of charter and it would have to have state approval. Not going to happen under the current structure. If the problem of non-conforming golf carts is as prevalent as you say it is, perhaps a public awareness campaign would work better than trying to direct LEO's from a half dozen or more police departments to take up that cause.

ARC process depends on the CDD just because one CDD is more restrictive that the other it's not going around. Actually speaking from experience this is another area where the frog group just doesn't read. Also it's not YOUR job to police any of this. Mind your own business and make sure you are doing the right things, believe it or not, all these things you say the others do has absolutely NO effect on you. If it doesn't crap on your life it's none of your business.

But it is, I pay to live here! and please , liberal is not about politics...

I am certain non-law enforcement personnel cannot initiate a legal detention (i.e.- pedestrian or vehicle traffic stop). Doing so is a significant crime called False Imprisonment (the unlawful restricting of one's movements) and a lesser significant Impersonating a police officer.

Those powers and authorities are only granted to sworn government agents aka gun toters. If they don't have one, they aren't sworn LE. Of course, some will have firearms that are not sworn law enforcement, like armed security guards, but ALL sworn police officers/deputies/federal agents, etc. in the U.S. will carry a firearm.

The Villages could set up an autonomous district like Disney did with the Reedy District. However, as pointed out by cjrjck, not likely to happen in the current political environment.

JMintzer, JimmyJam (funny) may not have an EV or any vehicle at all. He just turned 81 last month, so he may not drive. Probably shouldn't. He's the old guy standing on the side of the cart path shaking his fist at those speeding "Utes." For comparison sake, that is the same age as the current President of the U.S.

As one of the new generation of retirees, I find the above statement a bit odd. ALL the rule bending I read about and personally observe is being done by those that arrived before me and appear to be much older than me. Must of us young whippersnappers are still watching you old guys to see what we can get away with.
