there are a lot of other things the police and ptbs should be doing than parking a truck to make it look like
it's gonna stop crime.

It's like they don't understand "cell phones". You know, "hey, the police are parked over near 34th and 5th, so why don't you sell that crack 5 blocks north,south,east or west.

We could really use that money to upgrade the homeless facilities and maybe fix some of the roads that aren't near tropicana field. Maybe a bit more for after school activities at the parks would be in order too.

This is another waste of tax payer dollars.

In a call with my councilmans office I found out he just heard about this last week,there was no mention of it anywhere until they (the police) unveiled it.

Now it seems to me more community police officers would serve a better purpose than a truck sitting in one spot.
