I'm a Neighborhood Watch 'Block Captain'.

10. No, not at all.

That never came up.
In fact, our job is not to 'spy' on each other.
It's just to have a heightened awareness of comings and goings/incidents in the neighborhood.

A few months ago someone shot a deer in the front yard of a neighbor down the street.
It was 10:30 p.m. and the shooter was in an older pickup truck.
This was both illegal AND dangerous on many levels.
The truck sped off after some came out of their houses to see what the commotion was about.
One alert guy got a good description of the truck and a partial license plate #.
The police got the guy a couple of hours later.
That's how it's supposed to work.
