Not sure, I'll get a closer look at it tomorrow. I snapped that with my iPhone as I was driving by on my motorcycle... No, I was not talking on it while eating a hotdog and juggling as well.....What does the fine print at the bottom of the sign say?

There are "Crime Stoppers" and "Tip Lines" all over the country. They promise awards for anonymous tips, usually upon conviction.I'm curious, how can an anonymous tip result in a specific named person getting $1,000?
Well, as near as I can make out in the photo....TFred wrote:Not sure, I'll get a closer look at it tomorrow. I snapped that with my iPhone as I was driving by on my motorcycle...

Highlander,Its just a program that citizens can call in if they have information about a crime which a weapon was used.....almost like Crimestoppers.
Damn, some of you guys need to change your manpons...Do a little research before you go stir up shi, I mean, make a fool of yourself.
TFredIt is very unlikely that a juvenile would use their Constitutional rights, refuse to
be searched, and ask police officers to produce a search warrant. It is to be
noted that evidence produced without a search warrant is not admissible in a
court of law. However, police agents use different tactics to approach a juvenile
who is a suspect of possessing or carrying a gun. These situations and tactics can
include:
The suspect appears to be running away and a crime has just been reported in the area.
The suspect is hanging around with some people who are under police investigation.
The suspect is near where a crime has just been reported.
The suspect is somewhere where the officer thinks people have no reason to be
at that time of day or night and his presence.
The person acts is suspicious, and acts even more suspiciously when the officer
sees that you have spotted him.
The officer thinks that the suspect may have stolen property in his possession.
The officer legally stops the suspect on the street or while driving in his car and
refuses to answer simple questions, gives false or evasive answers or makes
contradicting statements.
Someone has reported the suspect as a possible suspect involved in a crime.
The suspect hangs around places and people who are using or selling drugs .
The suspects uses obscene language, acts disorderly, or drunk and or high in a public place.
This may lead to the commission of other misdemeanors that would allow police
officers to claim that they have found a suspect committing a fragrant [sic] crime.
Such a crime does not require a warrant and would produce evidence that would
be admissible in court.
No matter the intent, an honest person cannot deny the plain reading of the billboard:
"Gun Bounty Program"
"Arrest + Gun Recovery + Weapons Charge"
I'm sorry, but the way I read it, it most certainly does mention criminals, albeit only by implication. "Gun recovery" means tomy mind, recovering STOLEN guns. This program sounds a great deal like programs that tack on extra sentences if the criminal was found carrying a gun.No matter the intent, an honest person cannot deny the plain reading of the billboard:
"Gun Bounty Program"
"Arrest + Gun Recovery + Weapons Charge"
No mention of any crimes or criminals. This certainly implies that if you have a gun, you and your gun are the subject of this program. My guess is the sponsors of such a program would prefer you report all guns, and let them sort out which ones are illegal... It may be interesting for someone to call and record (from a one party consent state!) to see what their procedure is for discerning the validity of a report.
ixtow and everyone else,
this doesnt suprise me one bit. Over the weekend I was doing some research and came across a site called The Florida League of Cities... and their agenda is part and parcel with Mayors against Illegal Guns.. which is a BS front organization for anti's.
See these threads:

This is exactly WHY Florida NEEDS a strong grassroots Pro 2A organization focused on state and local rights.
ixtow, I know you and I disagree on whether or not Florida can be turned around. But I am telling you , this is no different than a bully in a schoolyard. You punch them in the nose hard and they will turn and tuck tail quick. The proverbial punch in the nose will be the currency these people understand, which is VOTES. You want to see the Mayors organization crumble quick. Start getting registered voters showing up in force telling them this is BS... It CAN happen , It WILL happen.
Get on board or clear the path my friend.
