"Probably not a good idea" as mentioned several times upthread is based off a reality of what happened to an INGO member doing that exact thing.
It should never have been a problem in the first place, then or now, but it did happen. They have absolutely no business being involved or involving themselves.
For what it's worth, we only have stories of what happened in the past in different towns. We have no idea what level of involvement Crawfordsville PD will have in this or how they will conduct themselves.
