I'm happy they are searching... It's my neighborhood and they have been stealing for a while without being caught. It starts first with open cars... next will they be breaking into my house?? They can use whatever they like.

Point being that there must be more to the story to spend those kind of resources in this bad economy just for a "suspected" car break in.
So, as a 30 something year tax payer in Walton county, I disagree with those resources being used unless there is more to the story, which I assume there will be.

Since they got 2/3 a helicopter seems a bit excessive - especially in addition to a K-9 unit and the 6 cop cars I saw just on new 98. :dunno:

Our cops aren't board. I see a local that I know nearly every day on the Walton county bookings web site. I must be hanging with the wrong crowd. The people that dine out and have a few cocktails at night. The people that work in the service industry and have a drink when their shift ends. The people that live here and go out to listen to some music and have a drink. You know that type. The DUI people. I would not suggest drinking and driving is ok but our cops and leagal system are a bite in the butt for many locals this time of year.

Seven and a half years ago I had a brand new truck stolen from Sowal and it was never recovered. Last year, in one night, I drove two different fares out of Baytown who's cars had been stolen and we discovered there was a third, and I never saw any media coverage about it.

Good. Just one life saved more than justifies any discomfort financially or otherwise for those idiotic enough to drink and drive. If your willing to play the game, you need to be willing to pay the price.

I wonder how many bars are on 30a. I wonder how many of the 6,000,000 people that come here a year had two drinks in less then an hour before they drove home. Get off your high horse.
