How about they bring with them waivers the distressed could sign to relieve TV of it's liability. They could carry it in a folder. Shouldn't be that burdensome.

No.......I was trying to show what might be a possibility.
I was at one time a substitute gate attendant here, but no longer.
When I was a Patrol Sgt. it was in Indiana and do not think the call was handled in an appropriate manner by our CW.

Maybe after the CW guy hung up the phone, another CW guy protested, "If we jump this guy's car, we'll have to do it for everybody, including all the people who run out charge on their the golf carts..."

As a matter of fact, we used it a couple of months ago. We were at a hotel near Baltimore, Maryland. Came out to the car to go to dinner and the battery in our Tahoe was dead as a door nail. Called the number on a card I keep in my glove compartment. Got a Geico representative who called a local service. Within 20 minutes we were off to dinner. He charged the battery and no charge to us. The Geico rep even called back to make sure we were on our way.

Man.......talk about beating a subject to death and beyond. How about we all use our AAA, or any other auto club and if not a member help a neighbor in need. Have done just that on several ocassions, it works. Give it a rest, use common sense if there is any left out there.........Let's bury this topic and leave CW to their picture taking at gates................Oh and by the way, I agree with Barefoot

Whew!! now I feel better........

I really think the message being sent is being missed. The residents currently pay for something called "Community Watch". This is not an insignificant expense as there is labor, transportation and the other costs that go along with this activity. The question is what do the resident(s) get for this TAX?
If you look at the expense vs the benefits it is a very fair question. I personally like the idea of making sure the communities don't start to look like run down housing projects, but other than that it looks like the benefits are to the Developer?
Isn't it the right of the people being taxed to understand their money is being spent for their benefit rather than the most taxes going to the developer?
