Law enforcement agencies across the country recommend that citizens should take pictures and/or video incidents of persons committing crimes, harassing neighbors, committing disturbances, etc., because law enforcement cannot always arrive on the scene in time to see the perpetrators in action.  One such example is taken from the Rains County Leader dated Tuesday, March 24, 2009, in which an article was written by Bonnie Burch regarding a man and his dog accused of harassing neighbors in East Tawakoni.  The neighbors addressed the East Tawakoni City Council.  “Police Chief Rick South stressed that unfortunately, the department doesn’t get complaints until after the offenses take place.”  . . . “South told those present that law enforcement must have visual evidence – either in person or on video provided by the accusers – that the accused has committed an offense before he’ll be arrested.”
