Test.  Also; anytime someone has a Camera "Visible" to the naked eye....In my Opinion; Definitely, Deters any illegal act.  I hope this helps You. Good Luck!

(more) Congrats Paula!!  I'd like to provide you with some insight as per your request However; Just as the words of Wisdom will follow I want to Caution you that I'm a Bottom-line type of Person & Businessman, after Founding Several Successful Companies/Businesses myself Approx. 39 Yrs. Ago......With that being sd Please don't take any of the perhaps SHORT Words of Wisdom or to the Contrary as being Disrespectful towards YOU in any way......It's Just Me and NOTHING Negative Directed Towards YOU! Congrats to YOU was the First thing I thought of to commend you on your Endeavor's and Efforts to Step OUT of YOUR Comfort Zone as a **Educator** Even MORE Importantly a Steady Income.  That I Admire and So Should YOU.  Not Everyone is Capable of Making that 1 Large Leap of Woman and/or Man-kind to Leave a Steady Income and Prevail to talk ab it.   Also, in the past I usually don't offer my Opinion/Advise but then again Not everyone like you will ask so perhaps that's why I stepped Up.....I did Glance over and read some of the other Business Owners Comments and I would have to agree to the flavor/substances of a few that stressed in essence that EVERYONE will Have an Opinion/Advise/or Suggestion(s) However; YOU have to Evaluate/Filter Out which are beneficial to you.  These people can be Like a Dr. when someone gets sick and All Those Non-Board-Member Certified Dr's Will ALL provide the person sick with a inappropriate diagnose.  I also give you alot of Credit for asking for advise bc Most Businesswoman/Men including me walked in your shoes but Never Publicly asked for what your asking for but what I can share with you from Experience I DID...I Kinda Listened to MOST everyone's Opinion/Suggestion's and or criticisms and Any Complains of People in General and Those Successful Businesspersons and THEN I Put a GOOD Filter in and I Filtered out Those who would complain about EVERYTHING and those that would NEVER Compliment Anyone and I took the Leftovers and Applied those internally to fix, Modify any issues and/or obtain Energy/Fuel for me to Push thru to achieve my Next Level and Goal to Accomplish.  Sometimes if you don't have a Good Filter and Listen to Everyone You Perhaps won't get ANYWHERE except keeping yourself Busy running around in a Circle beating yourself up.   I must agree with another Professional that commented....not quoting precisely but you made it this far and like I abovementioned You should take a minute and be Proud of Yourself for even making that decision to Leave Employment "Job Security" {Steady Income} and achieve to where your at right now...That's a Hugh Step for you and you apparently are Very Happy and your doing and became a CEO to much of your Own Delight.  Listen to Your Inner Self also it Apparently has Not Misguided you up to this Point.  I hope that I was able to shed some Positive Light on your behalf and it will become Helpful to you, if not now; in the near Future or somewhere down the road.  Best Wishes and Intentions From Washington County's Founder/Owner/Licensed By The Courts: Private Investigator Michael D.
