Okay first off to 10/14/08 @ 7:31 a.m. - Did you really say if you are 17 or 18 and want to have a beer with your friends in the woods? Do you realize 21 is the legal drinking age? Maybe you should know all the laws before you try to fight them.
to 10/13/08 @ 4:17p.m. - Do me a favor. Don't ever call the police for ANYTHING. I don;t care if someone shoots your house up and you get shot or you get in an accident or anything else. If they are so stupid and incompetent then they apparently can't help you so help yourself. I bet you will be the 1st one calling them when you need them!

Hey 7:31 am! By the way. Since you may have been committing a crime in the woods and maybe the cops are looking for everyone from that night for a specific reason, they can subpoena the records for this site from the Cape May COunty Herald and get your IP address and who you are. If you are using the library or school computer, they will simply get the video records from those places and see who you are. You might have a problem! LOL How do you think all of the slander cases are resolved from spout off?

I didnt park on the wrong side of the street...DID NOT park on the wrong side of the street and the police officers where still writing a ticket...also how nieve can you be to think that any of these guys pulling drive by shootings pay anything? They will have fine levied against them, however, they will never be paid. Young kids on the other hand will hand the tickets to their parents and most will likely be paid. My point is leave us alone...go find people who sell herion and pull drive by shootings...dont ticket me because I WILL pay the fine...stop crime...dont start ***

I would like to re-phrase my comment about that squad of Officers looking good. They look DARN Good out there fellas! An THAT was worth my time. As for the poor baby with the parking ticket. I live on that street so from now on I will be calling the cops as soon as I see the first car pull up in the area for the party in those woods. This time, I will ask them to sign complaints against the kids. ***. Just gotta spout off don't ya?

10/14@7:31---Parking on the wrong side of the road is illegal! What do you want the cops to be held accountable for? You said you parked on the wrong side of the road, therefore, you received a parking ticket. This is your fault-take responsibility!

I can tell you this...if your 17 or 18 and you wanna have a beer in the woods with your friends watch out! There were five cop cars at the corner looking for these kids. Five cop cars! Then one officer proceeded to try and ticket me,who would have been asleep had it not been for the cops racing up and down the street, for parking on the wrond side of the street. When are cops going to held accountable for there actions. This guy was handing out parkking tickets for no reason. I was parked legally. Let be honest, whats more important...breaking up a pit party or a drive by shooting...sound to me like more tickets can be handed out to kids...then their parents will pay the tickets...the shooter prbably wont pay any fines...

I have seen some poor comments, but these are pretty bad. The comment that was supposed to be "non-racial", nice try. The comment with ain't all over it, I bet your teachers are proud of you. It's a crime, and this area does not need people making *** comments about it. I think maybe you should refrain from speaking out. The PD in all towns will do their best to catch this person so we stay safe. As for the photo comment, seriously, was that worth your time?

ummm if you think this sounds like the person on *** how bout maybe callin the police instead of leaving a dumb reply on here...and yes those are lower cops at rt 9 and rt 47 cause they were armed and ready with shot guns...they were also near the bridge in wildwood and also armed and standing by all over middle...cause someone was driving around with a gun

The picture above here is of two officers involved in the county wide search plan. When a major crime occurs where there is enough of a description, the county wide search plan is activated and the local police departments go to major intersections to look for the suspects. The idea is to be where the suspects may be fleeing. This plan has lead to the capture of many violent criminals over the years.

Its a picture of RT 9 because they implemented the county search plan. All departments set up at certain locations to checl for the vehicle coming in or out of their town.
Mon, 10/13/2008 - 4:53pm
IM confused. The picture is of route 9 but the shooting was supposed to be on Goshen Road in Court House........

they probably wont catch the person who did it because they dont do nothin any way. they try to make it seem like they are looking this county aint that big.its a shame that when theres a car accident theres 15 cop cars around but when a real crime happens there aint a cop in sight.way to go middle townships finest.haha
