+1. As a security guard on a non-commissioned contract, I spend enough time being an unarmed target. As a graveyard shift worker and astronomy hobbyist, I tend to be out and around at odd hours on the nights I'm off. I keep the bluetooth headset in the car so I can discreetly call in anything I see, and I can usually find a way to discreetly hang out and watch to see where suspicious people go.

A license to do what, call the police? I'd say ditch the program and get a camera system. Whenever it catches anything, provide police a DVD.
