The community needs to get the information to the police also. If the police come and no one is sitting in any cars smoking crack...what do they have to go on. License numbers need to be taken, descriptions need to be available, they need to be called, get the the camera out...doesn't even have to be video. The community needs to work with the police. Any idea is a great idea to solve a problem but activation and implementation of the idea is reality. That takes team work.
