So here’s the first posted letter to my HOA, they’ve had just over a week to respond. So far, no response. Oh well? Neighborhood sure feels so much safer with a gun toting rent-a-cop watching porn nearby.
Hello comrades,
Another joke. Because police state and all. The state being this neighborhood. You know, with the cameras and armed private security.
Look I know those private security folks are just doing their jobs. You guys have paid them to lurk throughout the neighborhood for whatever reasons you have or don’t have. I think you mentioned folks threatening you all, which is awful and just crazy. You all seem like very nice people. NAME REDACTED mentioned sex offenders and the safety of the children here during an HOA meeting, but I can’t find any registered sex offenders in our neighborhood or within a mile radius of my address….because you know they have to register and there’s this sex offender registry thing and all. So unless we have some deep cover scum around here…
Anyway, like I said, I can appreciate the work these private security companies do. Especially the sergeant who sits in his patrol car in front of my home a few nights a week. For around 30 minutes. Idling in his patrol car. This doesn’t bother me, because I feel like I have my own private security guard. I kind of do since our dues pay him. I’m sure he’s busy writing reports or checking things out, or trying to find the gazing ball that was stolen. What does bother me about him, is when he is idling in the patrol car using devices to view material online consisting of a female in black laced lingerie with long dark brown hair, exposing her buttocks, while in public view on the night of February 1st, in uniform, on patrol. Now I have no opinion or assumptions on what he was viewing or who it was or why he was viewing said material, but it seems that material would be outside your typical standard operating procedures of security patrol type responsibilities.
Other than that the sergeant has always been helpful and professional.
I do have questions however.
I arrived home Sunday, Super Bowl Sunday. A large quad cab white ford pickup truck was occupying one of my parking spots. I needed that spot for an additional vehicle. We asked the Metro security sergeant for direction, he advised that he personally would not be towing anyone on that night and to park beside the truck in a visitor spot. He referred to this as doing us a favor. I’m not sure how this was a favor, as we had no choice in parking in my assigned spot, because it was occupied illegally by another vehicle.
Question 1. When one of my assigned parking spaces is occupied by a vehicle that is not mine or my guests, who can I contact to remedy that or gain direction on what to do when security is not around?
I contacted security about this incident, and their call center advised me that they do not tow and cannot tow or authorize the towing of vehicles. Is this correct?
Question 2. Who will be responsible for looking to the issue of the sergeant viewing inappropriate material while on duty, or should I report this directly to the secuirty or the officer or someone else?
My partner doesn’t feel comfortable or safe around a security guard who views sexually explicit material while on duty. Especially at night. Especially when the board publicly stressed to me during our last in person meeting, that the neighborhood is in desperate need of security from sex offenders. This issue has compounded her fear of predators or sexual deviants and more importantly given us both further reason to question the HOA and renewed our lack of respect for whomever is vetting these private security needs.
I don’t have a problem with the officer per se, he seems like a nice man and someone I’d hate to be on the wrong side of. I have a problem with a uniformed law enforcement officer on duty, hired to patrol our community for sexual deviants and whatever else, viewing sexually explicit content, in front of my home on his phone. It seems like a waste of HOA dues and conduct unbecoming.
If you all have questions or wish to interview myself or my partner who both witnessed this occurring as we leaned our heads in to the patrol car, please arrange a time so that we can make ourselves available.
Thanks for everything you all do to make this a safer neighborhood?
Regards,
Me
Well...Anyways
