Noise Complaints

Police are being called multiple times in the middle of the afternoon to toddler birthday parties. Is this good government? Children are traumatized and you have violated their constitutionally protected free speech. They were doing nothing wrong. Have you outlawed fun and laughter and children playing in the pool? It sure looks like it.

Even though the police heard no noise violation they still knocked on the house door or walked around the back when there was no reason to do so. This act in and of itself violates people’s right to free speech and is the result of the police being unwittingly weaponized by malicious neighbors.

• Do you know that vacationers and vacation homes are being wrongly and maliciously targeted? The new regulations Marco city council has put in place have created a hostile environment for families.
• Do you think it is OK for armed patrol officers to disrupt a child’s or a grandmother’s birthday?
• Do you think it's ok for police to come around the back of the home when people are simply having a family dinner?
• Do you think it's ok for police to come by three times when two adults are simply having a conversation in an outdoor hot tub or pool?

This is happening now on Marco. You have incentivized chronic complainers and you are not punishing those who make fake complaints. You have created this hostile environment for families visiting our island. If a patrol car arrives at a home and they don’t hear noise they should roll away. If nothing is happening, they should not knock on the door and disturb the occupants.

Did you forget that in America everyone is treated equally? Whether you are a vacationing family, a vacation homeowner or a permanent resident the rules cannot be different. It is simply un-American. I ask you to take immediate action and stop these violations of people’s rights before more harm is done.
