[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 264503, member: 439"] Court Watch "officially" are groups of citizens that follow people convicted of crimes in our neighborhood, or that live in our neighborhood and commit crimes. Often at sentencing, especially when community control is being considered - husband and the others are consulted as to what effect the person has in the community. I was off work on Monday and went with them to a case where someone had broken into several homes a few streets over. Besides paying restitution, his community control condition was that since he doesn't live in our neighborhood - he is not to BE in our neighborhood. If he's caught in it, he will serve 2 years. I tease husband and his "partner" about being Bounty Hunters (husband has long hair - but dark - but I've threatened to hook beads and feathers to his glasses aka Dog), but this was a strange one. They weren't even in the court for this guy - there's was next. The guy thought he was going to get community control, but he had led police on a high speed chase and crashed his car into a building. He was sentenced to 5 years. When the deputy started to cuff him - he took off. husband's "partner is 6'2", 240 (and 62 years old) and always wears denim overalls. He jumped up, jumped over husband, and tackled the guy. The other deputy in the courtroom at the time is about 7 months pregnant, so she really couldn't have done anything - but A. says he didn't think, he just acted. I keep teasing him asking when Mike Brown (owner of the Bengals - football team) is going to offer him a contract!!! [/QUOTE]
