I urge people to use caution as I "saw something and said something" and was retaliated against because law enforcement was on the wrong side of the law. While I am for reporting suspicious activity I am also, now more than ever, for anonymity. Just sayin....... This slogan is used everywhere there is some type of law enforcement in Florida.

Folks knew when things were going on in their area; often those folks would call in important information that would aid officers. The public could become an extension. Now we’re in the dark. Now everything is secret and encoded. It’s as if we, the public, are considered the opponents. I can understand encoding some facets, but not all. See something, say something? Does that mean call in on your neighbor who isn’t wearing a mask or hosting a bbq and not social distancing? To report suspicious activity will get you called racist, or a -phobic or something; to report something can turn one into a villain in the court of public opinion. Our first responders are separating themselves. I still support aiding; but, cautiously. One part of aiding law enforcement was being able to listen to the scanner.
