PLEASE... Don't Walk Between Gulf Homes

[UofL]

I think as 30A becomes more populated with rentals, you guys will have to have 'security' to patrol the beaches. Remind people to take their stuff with them; don't walk on the dunes; don't rent your 4 story home to 20 twentyone year olds, etc. Might have to hire security/lifeguard to babysit. A few always ruin it for the rest of us. The money might be worth it.
When we were down there in June, there were jail inmates picking up trash along 30A. We were on our bicycles so that was alittle disconcerting! I thought that would be great temporary solution after the hurricane to have them do that on that beach, but again, all those orange jump suits. Maybe early in the morning before too many children get down there. (Remember, these are just ideas, not facts.)

Rent-a-cops on the beach? No thanks.

Those guys you saw are short timer, minor violations I believe. I too had thought about them on the beach cleanup. I would wear an orange suit and join them.

Great idea having community service people cleaning beaches! I'd love to see prisoners doing it too. They need the exercise and the beach needs cleaning.

I'm afraid the prisoners would enjoy the "scenery" too much. :shock:

Whack two birds with one rock. Print "I walked on dunes!" on front and back of orange suits.

RO would have to turn in his thong for good. :laughing1

Seriously though... maybe they could work at dawn and be done before most people ventured onto the beach. Might want to limit that to minor offenses...

Maybe we could get all of the non-violent people locked down for smoking pot for litter patrol, lifeguard duty, and concierge services.

A pothead lifeguard... that probably isn't as unusual as we'd like to think!

The state park in our area has prisoners out regularly, cleaning up and maintaining. It's startling at first to see the orange suits all out there diligently picking up trash and watering plants, but the park sure is clean and purdy.

I remember coming from Niceville to SoWal on Hwy 20, when I saw a playground filled with folks in prison suits, the big bus, guards with guns, etc. Would you feel awkward iif you were at the playground with your kids when they showed up? I felt a little freaked out just thinking about it. Put criminals n a field growing vegetables, and leave the trash collection on the beach to me.
