A most disquieting experience.

You could have told the story and only described the car and its behavior, and I would have agreed with your suspicions and actions.

The added details of the occupants is just added information. As noted, strange vehicle, slow cruising, four passes…. Makes my spidey sense tingle too.

When I see the same car full of young male strangers (white, brown, purple) driving slow and looking carefully at houses, driveways, porches, etc., circle four times, it's time for a non-emergency call to the sheriff. Porch larcenies, burglaries, and people scoping areas to commit these are just part of life today. People digging stuff out of the big public dumpster to a) see if Amazon or MidwayUSA sent something valuable b) to a specific person at a specific address is a common tactic as well.

Stealing can be a lot of work, but at least it's not employment./s

I could probably call the Police several times a day. It's getting out of had around here.
Glad the are rounding them up!

Nothing racist about it. Anyone or group in a vehicle that circles an area, cruising at 5 MPH and returning several times with no apparent purpose should cause concern no matter their race. This is based on my articulable training and experience indicative of criminal activity afoot, as clearly defined in 1961 Terry v.Ohio. It constitutes “Reasonable Suspicion” as clarified in that case by the Supreme Court. Therefore it justifies a “Terry Stop”. Legal, according to the Constitution and the actions of both the Complainant and subsequently the Police are legit and No, Zero racism is/was involved!

I'm having difficulty picturing Clint in those pants.

That’s for sure! Clint knows a man got to know his limitations!

Yet, according to the officers, Rusty was spot on.

I hear ya brother! We are finally getting out of SW Florida after more than 25 years sometime in the next few months to some acreage up in Grady Judd’s neighborhood and I cannot wait!

Don't apologize for being a racist . Most of the time your hunch is correct .

Grateful you live somewhere the police didn't arrest *you* for harassment of sacred migrants....

Four people in an apparent beater car driving through a quiet residential neighborhood at 5 mph, and repeatedly? What's racist about that? That should be suspicious.

But, then, anybody driving past my house at 5mph draws my attention.

 

[Autonomous]

You believed your racist guess without any evidence. None.

1) The occupants of the car were acting very suspiciously.
2) OP did not mention race.
3) Hispanic is not a race.
4) People who cry racism without evidence are the real bigots.

Oh boy, Polk Co., Fla. isn’t exactly Mayberry. At least Sheriff Judd is on our side. My daughter taught middle school there; it didn’t sound like a joyful place.

Years ago bought it slightly used, likely from when our wardens switched over to ar-15's. Short person stock, recut muzzle crown and standard size peeps improved it for preference/accuracy.

Yesterday I assumed my position on the porch swing. Around mid afternoon Ruthie was at Wal-Mart, Logan was across town doing a large lawn job and JR was inside creating yet another art masterpiece.

I heard the sound of a kicker box thumping coming towards me. It was an old beat up light gray Honda Civic occupied by four young people from south of the border. They crept up the street at 5mph. I thought it odd.

20 minutes later they came back crawling at the same speed. My spidey sense went off. I believe they were casing the neighborhood for open garage doors, porch packages or other targets of opportunity.

I went inside and grabbed my little pocket companion, my LCP.

30 minutes later they came back. I didn't brandish but I stood up and glared at them. They sped up and took off.

Today, an hour hour after I assumed my porch stationary and they came back. I called the police and related my experience with a description of the car and occupants.

They thanked me for my concern and said they would notify and give the description to all their patrol officers to have them identify themselves and see what they are up to.

I got a call a little while ago from the police. That spotted them, pulled them over and asked for ID. Surprise, surprise they were here illegally.



ICE, ICE baby!

Soon after DHS/ICE was officially hatched in 2003, agents wearing the new raid jackets "ICE POLICE" during a Florida Hurricane, were mistaken over and over for ICE Vendors.... What you gonna do, it's America.
