Where are all the residences in Century with tall privacy fences across the front yard? And why is Freddie McCall worrying about what people are doing in their yards? And how will the height of a privacy fence help officers do their jobs. It might aid them in being nosey, but it will not help them do their jobs. And Mayor McCall you need to stop worrying about what may or may not be happening in someone else’s yard, and be happy that they are not infringing on your dealings.

and if that failed, consider some of these whip antennae which go many feet in the air above the pick-em-up truck. Now picture some of these small cameras such as would go on the dragonfly drone but pointing down behind the privacy fence.

You can’t stop the government from being able to keep an eye on you, but you might gain a little privacy from others, not that I care, just considering the concept.

The Department of Homeland Security has these little drones, some as small as dragonflys they say, that they just buzz around your property and look around.

How in the world did Mayor McCall stumble into his post? He was elected by the citizens of Century.

Has he ever been opposed in an election, is this some sort of senseless loop?

Ok I got Help for yall move to Beulah Code enforcement hahahah really what is that? Police NOT unless someone calls them and still you got atleast 20min to get yourself together. You can leave yor garbage cans out noone says nothing. Yes there is crime but the citizens controll it. And out here the POLICE would not dare behave the way they do in century or intown pensacola.I would love to see the day one stops one for sitting in their own yard and search them. We do however got a great FIRE DEPT who will help you and do prob more than any ambulance ever will. I guess what Im saying is unite your area like we have in BEULAH.

These people can’t even get a water bill right. Now they are experts on crime and how to reduce it. Laughable!!

I like the ordinance. Privacy fences belong in the backyard, not the front. They are ugly and make the neighborhood ugly causing property values to decrease. If you want a tall privacy fence put it in the back yard.

OK…hold up up for just a minute. The Mayor wants to deprive me of my right to privacy so county deputies can watch me…a law abiding, tax paying, conscientious member of this community. Here’s a clue, we have those privacy fences so folks can mind their own business just a little easier. I work in the law enforcement arena and do not feel that being able to look into peoples yard when they want privacy will cut down on crime. Maybe I should just put razor wire on top of that privacy fence to let people really know how I feel about my privacy. If the council decides to pass this ordinace, I will be moving out of Century. That’s a promise. I have the resources to be able to do that. All citizens of Century should let the council know to NOT pass this ordinace.

Front yard back yard what difference does it matter. I fail to see any logic in dictating what type fence a person may have around the property they pay taxes on.

I feel county government owes the citizens who pay their salary an explanation for this madness, vote them out as this should have been put to public referendum.

I am starting to get that us and them feeling and to tell you the truth I think I like it.

Not that I think the proposal is right, but I think some people didn’t read all of the article.

This is about privacy fences around the FRONT yard. Tall privacy fences around the back yard would not be affected.
