After hearing on September 14 at the board meeting that our president has been watching us on the eight surveillance cameras located around the park (before the residents were notified of their exact locations), I sent an email to attorney Scott E. Gordon. Scott is a partner in the Sarasota FL office of Lutz, Bobo, Telfair, Eastman, Gabel & Lee, a firm that is known for its representation of owners and operators of manufactured housing communities throughout Florida. Scott has worked with resident-owned communities (ROCs) for well over a decade and devotes a substantial portion of his law practice helping ROC managers and directors deal with a vast variety of legal issues.
Scott decided to post much of my email on his legal blog. http://www.floridaroc.com/ Several comments have come in from other people. You might be interested to read those comments.
A policy for the cameras needs to be established, quickly, to determine who is en
titled to view these recordings. In my opinion, either everyone has the right to view them in real time, or no one but the manager, during office hours, can observe them in real time. No passwords will be issued.
There are too many items not being discussed by the board in front of the membership: changes to the R&Rs, installation of cameras in common areas other than the gates, parking issues, and even use of the marine storage lot. Just who is running this place? We voted 9 people onto that board, and we expect 9 people to make every decision.

I believe the cameras should only be on the incoming/outgoing gates of our community and maybe in the offce area, maintenance area, and trash and treasures area.
Also should be in the Marine storage area, as there have been probably more dollars in theft there than anywhere else in the park?
