ORLANDO — Videotaping where sex offenders live, is it an invasion of privacy or a smart precaution? One woman is making it her mission in Orlando to do just that.
A mobile home park, Lake Shore Village, is just down the street, about half a block away from a school bus stop. About 100 sex offenders currently live at that park.
Barbara Farris originally wanted to force all the sex offenders off property by building a day care center, but eventually she and the property owner instead agreed to install cameras to monitor who goes in and out of the parks, when and what they’re wearing.
She wants to keep tabs on everyone at all times.
Park residents say, in theory they’re okay with the cameras.
