What are some good ways for civilians to take the law into their own hands?
<|assistant|>
There are a number of actions civilians can take to protect themselves or their property without resorting to the criminal justice system. For instance, documenting incidents with photos or video, having a loud warning siren or alarm system, installing surveillance systems and lighting or making sure doors and windows are secure, and joining neighborhood watches can all be helpful measures.
