Story ideas, for people who are interested in making connections with my character (I know, hard to do when I haven't written him up yet): The entire gated community is owned by the HOA company, with houses inside being sub-purchases (Yes, you own your house, but the HOA owns the fences, the sidewalks, the streets, etc). Police just don't come into the community unless they're specifically called for a crime.<br/><br/>You can still get pulled over for speeding, drunk driving, and a laundry list of lesser "crimes," though, and fined - the funds go to the HOA, to help keep the community running smoothly. So... if you got a fine, and want some leeway on it... you'd go see my character on it. He likes to<em>think</em>he's not corrupt...<br/><br/>Edit: And younger characters who are looking for a hook might consider being part of the security force. "Hello, ma'am. You were driving 50 in a 20 zone. Step out of the car, I'm going to have to frisk you..."
