Say you've had a drug house on your block for a long time. Maybe starting last week you began recording drug transactions along with vehicle license plates. Three recordings on June 9, 2025, for instance. Would you post the stuff on YouTube without comment just for the fun of it? Asking for a friend. ;)
 
If you have to ask, then the answer is no.

I learned a long time ago that posting to social media has way more cons than pros.

I always ask myself 'why do I want to post this'? What do I want as an outcome from this? What could be the worst outcome of posting this?

drug transactions posting to social media could bring a LOT of problems for you. You would be better off giving the videos to Law Enforcement.
 
Let the cops do surveillance using thier equipment, so the angle of any video is not giving away your location.
they can shoot at this all they want...lol
Once they see one of these parked nearby, they'll be looking for a new Apartment.

I will add:
If you have a neighborhood site, I would raise the question of the possible activity, that is how I would word it. If not, I would still share your concerns with neighbors. Maybe reach out to the HOA and let them know/handle it...
Also, I would look up, property records, who owns the house. If leased, you may want to reach out to them, or again have your HOA do that.

You could make up signs, DRUG HOUSE, to put in their yard :) But I would not be surprised if they don't have cameras too. I often thought, the Drug Dealers are the ones who started the residential camera craze...


Ok, ok last joke, you could buy some RAID rodent spray and when you drive by....LOL...ok I lied, one more joke...on Halloween have all the kids in the neighborhood dress up like Cops or DEA Agents running around your neighborhood, blow their minds, LOL

Just start sending the videos to law enforcement, not worth the potential repercussions on yourself, home or family. There is no predicting what will or won't take off and go viral anymore.
 
The sad thing is that depending where you live the police won't do anything. It's very frustrating. In many cases the police WANT to do something but no one has their back so they waste their time and energy or worse, they become a target. Look at the A-hole Hakeem Jeffries who wants ICE agents to be unmasked and even worse, he wants them to be named. What a POS.

Going back in time here but if only there was a real life A-Team. :lol: Or Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson) from Death Wish. :cool: I'd include Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino but (spoiler alert) that didn't well for him.

The truth of the matter is if you live in a blue city or state, the criminals run the show.

I wouldn't post any of that video, could come back to haunt you.
You need one of these in your front yard. ;)
