Only one thing really annoys me... those that have no idea how much the smell of weed can permeate throughout a campground. I've never had the unfortunate opportunity to camp beside someone who partakes, but I've been where I have been hundreds of feet from where someone was, and they were surprised that people around them were complaining about it. It's not like cigarette smoke that dissipates in the air within a few feet, this stuff can be smelled a long way away.

a call to 9-1-1 solves that problem right now.

Not really a high (no pun intended) priority call. By the time they get there in an hour or two, it's done and all evidence is gone or very well hidden.

depends on the jurisdiction. we took those calls seriously. besides, illegal activity is illegal activity and reporting it shouldn't depend on how fast the authorities will respond or if they will respond at all.

One neighbor took matters into his own hands, and had signs made and posted on all access to our street that all cars are photographed. He rigged eye-sensors to set a flash off every time a car went by. Great personal expense for him, but he justified it as he had little ones at the time. But, it worked. Traffic dwindled, and about 2 weeks later, the selling house was vacant.

While not really an RV story, it does illustrate that not all police depts consider drugs a high-priority as illegal as they may be.
