I am still looking for the statement from the Sanford Police...but as another point, the rules specifically state to Observe but do not get involved. It is very clearly stated that you are not the person to apprehend you are not the police...apprehension is the police's job. >From the Neighbood Watch's responsabilities...(page 15) 10. Remember always that your responsibility is to report crime. Do not take any risks to prevent a crime or try to make an arrest. The responsibility for apprehending criminals belongs to the police department. -----Original Message----- From: LRS Scout [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, July 22, 2013 8:11 PM To: cf-community Subject: RE: Zimmerman rescues family of 4 from car crash No its not.
