RCSD Crime Report - February 2025

Would you like to see the RCSD Crime Report for The Summit for the month of February 2025?

Once upon a time the HOA used to publish the Crime Reports. Paul Hill was head of the Safety Committee, and he had a good working relationship with the CAT officer at the time. In addition, Paul was a Director.

Then things changed. A director (I'll leave him unnamed here) thought he'd impress some people and claimed the Reports contained PII. PII is Personally Identifiable Information. It doesn't.

If the Report did contain PII, the Sheriff's Department would never release it to the HOA, to the safety committee, or to an individual who requested it.

The last Crime Report published on the HOA's website is for March 14, 2022 - May 22, 2022. It's a three-month report for March, April, and May. Notice that it's a nine-page report, but the HOA published on four pages (Pages 2, 4, 6, 8). The HOA didn't notice that Pages 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 were missing. I did. 

I even obtained the full nine-page report from RCSD and forwarded it to the office, but they never updated the copy on the website. The incomplete report is still there today, April 9, 2025!

Today I am forwarding the February 2025 RCSD Crime Report to William Hill, Chair, Safety Committee. Watch the website to see if he has it published. If it doesn't show up within a couple of days, contact him. His phone number (803-606-7216) is published in The Summit Scoop.

Where do you find the RCSD Crime Report? Start on the HOA's homepage. Scroll down. Just below that stale photo that has been there for too many years, and click on Public Service Announcements.

If you would like a copy of the Crime Report, please email me at gusphilpott@gmail.com

What? No trampolines?

OK, you trampoline fans. Are your rights and privileges being tramped on by your Board of Directors? The office sent out an email just before 2:00PM threatening you with a dreaded violation notice and the possibility of fines, if you dare to put a trampoline in your yard.  This is what the email from the office said,  " Please be advised that, pursuant to Section 13, Page 22, Article XII of the covenants, no structure of a temporary nature shall be placed upon any unit or any part of the properties. This includes, but is not limited to, tents, temporary gazebos, shacks, trailers, and any other structure of a temporary nature.  "Kindly note that trampolines are classified as temporary play equipment and, as such, are not permitted within the community. We ask that you ensure there is no trampoline present on your property to avoid receiving a violation notice and subsequent fines." What do the Covenants say? "Section 13. Tents. Trailers and Temporary Structures. Exce...

Open Letter to Barony Place "Voting Member"

An open letter to the "Voting Member" of Barony Place Neighborhood. Good morning, Billie, If you and/or an Alternate attended last night's board of directors meeting, will you please send out a recap of the meeting to Ann Stirlen and me (and to all the homeowners and residents in Barony Place)? About a dozen homeowners from throughout The Summit showed up for the board meeting  at the church  last night, only to learn from one person that it had been switched to Zoom, which allowed the board to meet in secret. Many of them had not received the email from the office that the board was (illegitimately) closing the meeting to homeowners. There are only about 1,800 (73%) email addresses of the 2,480 Members in the website database. I attempted to join the meeting on Zoom, as I am Attorney-in-Fact for Ann Stirlen, but I was not admitted to the meeting. The HOA's attorney has quoted a section in the By-Laws that she believes allows the Board to close the meetings. That spec...

Pet Peeve #1 - Tinted License Plate Covers

Image
  AO(Q?)H 152 My #1 pet peeve is heavily-tinted license plate covers. These are prohibited under South Carolina law (and by laws in many states), but my belief is that these drivers are seldom stopped.  These drivers can run red lights, speed, tailgate, even cause hit-and-run accidents, and witnesses can only say, "I couldn't see the license plate number." My solution? Troopers, deputies, and cops should stop these cars. Ticket the driver. Remove the license plate frame, tinted cover, and license plate as evidence. This will force the driver to have his car towed, because he cannot operate a motor vehicle on the roads without a license plate. Make it inconvenient and expensive. Drivers KNOW they are violating the law. They expect to get away with it, and they do. It's time for this to stop! Pet peeve #2: heavily-tinted front windows.
