§--Zippyzonk (talk) 14:54, 27 July 2014 (UTC)Due to the liability,regulations, and local ordinances surrounding legal HOA's, secret groups of neighbors band together in older neighborhoods to enforce what they view as distressing violations of their neighborhood. They interpret local ordinances, and persecute violators. Much like Zimmerman used a gun as his enforcer, their main enforcement tactic is secretly stealing property,gossip, and vandalism. Exclusive membership is not open to every neighbor, and religion-based criteria for members is usually present. Their meetings are rarely disclosed to non-members, so they violate Sunshine Laws.Money is collected voluntarily, with no visible accounting, or use of legal escrow accounts are visible. Voluntary dues pay for religious events like the appearance of Santa, or the Easter Bunny. Luminary packages are often sold with no declaration of the purpose of the money. There is a mixture of business models with the most closely copied model being non-profit, and political. The separation of church and state is violated due to the political nature of these illegal associations.Non-members in a neighborhood are ostracized, penalized, and hopefully forced out of the neighborhood. The remedy is to find out who the members are, and get an injunction against their activities, and sue.
