FL- Bus stop protestors reach agreement

This takes the cake, the original issue was the school bus stop which is outside the park on the main road. Now, the resolution is, to install 9 cameras inside the park to monitor sex offenders, but which ones? In addition, the bus stop may have kids for a few minutes of the day, say twice a day, but they intend to monitor the sex offenders 24/7. Why? Is that a violation of any law or rights of the registrants? If parents would take their children to the bus stop there would not be any problem and $18,000 plus maintenance costs would be saved.

ORLANDO, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - After spending many nights sleeping on the side of Orange Blossom Trail in protest and after trying to get a daycare established so that high-level sex offenders living nearby would have to move, a contract between abuse survivor Barbara Farris and the HOA at the Lakeshore Village Trailer Park was forged on Monday.

Some eighty sex offenders of all types live in the community near a school bus stop. They, with the permission of the park's owner, have agreed to install internet accessible surveillance cameras throughout the park and at the bus stop.

Farris shook hands with not one, but two sex offenders who live in the Lakeshore Village Trailer Park.

"We are all happy with the outcome," said Farris, who will no longer threaten to put a daycare up to chase the high level offenders out.

Instead, Farris and her watchdog group Bee Aware, will install nine surveillance cameras. Only Farris and a select few will have the access code to access them any time online.

Farris explains, "If they're going to do something wrong, offenders will change patterns, and now we'll be able to see them on tape. We'll be recording 24 hours."

"We've been fighting for the wrong reasons. We're really out for same resolution," said the president of the park's HOA. He is also a registered sex offender.

He says he also wants a safe community. He also wants surveillance cameras to keep a close eye on the higher level repeat offenders.

"A consensus vote was taken by the park and we came up with a high 70 percent vote for the surveillance cameras proposed by Ms. Farris. If you're not doing something wrong, what have you got to worry about?"

They hope to have nine cameras installed within the month. Each one will cost about $2,000, and Farris is footing the entire bill. ..Source..
