'Secret surveillance vehicle hits Mid-Island's streets, will help crack down on quality-of-life crimes'

'Oddo had a warning for others:

"People should think long and hard before they do anything wrong, because we are watching."'

Your editing was well-intetioned, but most of us will think this is about Michigan, one of the few places where you could almost justify this approach.

Seems east coast governments have become fascists.

What exactly is a “quality of life” crime?

[Little Pig]

Mid-Island must have the lowest crime rate in the nation, with no gang problems, drugs, etc etc if they have the time to assign officers to drive around randomly hoping to catch some ordinary citizen in the act of committing a minor offense.

"quality-of-life crimes"?, why not just call it vandalism?

“People should think long and hard before they do anything wrong, because we are watching.”’

Police State?

Animals can be driven crazy by placing too many in too
small a pen.

Homo Sapiens is the only animal that voluntarily does
this to himself.

Hah! They should come by my house when my neighbor's kid is practicing guitar at full volume on his amp with the back door open. He sucks. Oh, then one of them tried to sing accompaniment. It sounded like someone stuck a cow in the ass.

Listening to really bad guitar at full volume is a "quality of life" crime.

So Councilman Oddo paid for this himself?
