Thanks for filling in the missing link. Although it sounds like local law enforcement was pretty ‘tame’.
In the Dallas, they call the area where folks are above the law ‘The Bubble’, and the two enclave communities have their own police departments to make sure the kids get home safe and the parents don’t have to pick them up at the Dallas jail in the middle of the night. Sounds like Briarwood wants to go a step up from that.
The wealthiest of the wealthiest in Bham, (who don’t attend Mountain Brook High School or John Carroll) all go to Briarwood.
Not as much money as Dallas, but they carry a big stick in their neighborhood.
