Don't walk to fast

Wow -- what a shock! I guess there is far more to Disney security than bag checks and video! I'm sorry it happened to you, but all the same it is really good to know they are so dilligent!

I have had respect for Disney security for
some time now. About 5 years ago an adult
pushed a kid (around 12 or 13). For saying
something to his wife. There were 3 security
people on this guy within 15 seconds. All plain
clothed officers.

Now wouldn't that be a dream job? To walk around in the parks and get paid for it?

Ok Ill give my view from a Law Enforcement Standpoint....


Were you looking at you watch a lot to see how the time was doing?

Were you watching the boat a lot??

You said you were taking pictures of the boats. Was it the boat you were timing yourself against?

I could understand that............

The biggest thing I think was it was around 9-11 and everyone was a little more on top of things that the rest of the year....... I know we watch our refineries a lot more around that time of year.....

You would be suprised how many people pull over in front of a refinery and take pictures of them......... We get tons of calls about that....

Here's another law enforcement viewpoint: The United States did not stop being the United States on September 11th.

Last year I was accosted by security guards while taking photographs near a skyscraper in the city I live in. "Do you know who owns this building?" One guard asked? "I know who owns this sidewalk", I replied. "Didn't you hear about 9-1-1?", "Yes, I did." "If you don't leave we're going to call for backup" "If you continue to threaten me, I'm going to call the police."

Walt Disney World is private property so the rules are different but too many over zealous law enforcement employees have used September 11 as an excuse to be too aggressive and too many Americans are too willing to stand for it because they're afraid.

Unfortunately, there's way too many crazy and insane folks for us to be any less zealous in our attempts to keep visitors safe. I'm not afraid for myself, but I am concerned for my family. And I am perfectly happy to let security forces to ask a few more questions than normal to maintain that safety. It's not the same world it was 25 years ago. We have to adjust accordingly. Keeping Disney World safe is as important as keeping it happy and clean.

That makes a lot of sense. Law officers and security people have so much to deal with. I think it's important to see both sides and I want to be protected. Freedoms are important to Americans, but so is feeling safe. I don't give any of this a second thought when going anywhere, but when something like this comes up I'm reminded why I don't give it a second thought. Because we have people who are out there doing their best to protect us.
