    My community does. We live in an Atlanta suburb and watch out for anything suspicious, like strangers slowly driving around the neighborhood, and call the Police. We are instructed to never do anything ourselves, as the Police told Zimmerman.

    I formed a community watch group of creepy old men. We watch the young school girls go to the public pool in their two piece bathing suits.

    We're a no touch group though.
