The strategy may make sense, but experts say it leaves a troubling gap in law enforcement.
“People are committing crimes and they’re not suffering the consequences for it,” said Camden County Prosecutor Warren Faulk. “I think it has emboldened those who are committing the crimes. They do not get arrested, and consequently, they continue committing these crimes.”
A 61-year-old day care employee from North Camden who didn’t want to give her name for fears of her safety, said drug dealers in her neighborhood have become more brazen since the layoffs. In fact, she said, they’ve taken over her stoop. “You chase them out of your steps and they go for 5 minutes. Then they’re back again.”
Denise Skinner, 51, who lives in the Waterfront South neighborhood, a haven for drug dealing and prostitution, is frustrated as she sees drug dealers continue to man their corners.

Myers, a vice president at defense contractor Lockheed Martin in Moorestown, has been accused of paying $500 for sex with a male prostitute while in California on business last year; an allegation he has denied.

In addition to attendance, some residents also called for an investigation into the alleged sexual encounter between the mayor and male escort who brought forth the claims. “Prostitution is a crime,” said Mike Reilly. “There should be an investigation and that rests with council.” Deputy Mayor Mark Sander informed the crowd that council does not have the authority to perform an investigation, however one is underway. He indicated that Myers has turned information over to “the authorities” although he did not know who those “authorities” were. Medford Police Chief Richard Meder said the investigation is not being conducted at the township level.

It used to just be Greenpeace, the volunteers with green t-shirts and clipboards attempting to get you to give money to save the earth. Then came redpeace (Children International) and bluepeace (the ACLU) and a whole rainbow of t-shirt-clad youths wanting your credit card number. They spread to 10th and Pine! I couldn’t even go to the Foodery in peace.
When it rains, they set up just outside Suburban Station in the underground concourse. There is no escape.
It’s not that I disagree with political solicitation or with a pretty person stopping to talk to me. It’s the way it’s phrased. The question is always something like, “Do you have a minute for gay rights?” If you don’t stop to talk to this person, you clearly don’t. It’s designed to make you feel bad. It’s like a reporter asking “How long have you been cheating on your wife?” to every person on the street. I like the drug dealers and prostitutes more.

Money never changed hands for sharecroppers. If you wanted something, you took a pig or chickens and traded.
Jake didn’t want to be part of that.
“I told my dad at age 7 that I wanted to be a businessman,’’ he said.
He started digging stumps for 10 cents an hour.
“I was small enough to climb down in the hole and find the end of the root and trim it. I gave the money to my dad.’’
Being a sharecropper was an insult to Jake’s dad.
When Jake, at age 9, said he wanted to get a job as a mechanic working on tractors, he was told to leave home.
“My mother had given me a road map. How to speak. How to act. So living among prostitutes and drunks didn’t affect me.’’
