Rep. Mia Love calls police about people taking pictures of her kids

Congresswoman calls police, she says, to report people photographing her kids.

Washington • Rep. Mia Love has contacted Saratoga Springs police after she says people have been photographing her children at their home and on the street where they live.

"My husband and I have contacted the Saratoga Springs police and they are investigating," Love wrote Monday on Facebook. "We have pictures of the vehicles that have been spotted and we have given those pictures to the police."

Love and her husband, Jason Love, have three children.

Love's spokesman, Richard Piatt, said the police have said they would keep an eye on the congresswoman's house as they would with any other resident concerned about such actions.

Love pleaded on Facebook for neighbors to call 911 if they saw anything suspicious.

"Please look out for each other and our children," she wrote.

The Saratoga Springs Police Department did not respond to a request for comment Monday.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, had said last year that he has received death threats after his announcement that the FBI was continuing to investigate possible wrongdoing with then-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's use of private email servers while she was secretary of state. The FBI later said it found no criminal violations.

The congressman said he would increase his security and has paid an off-duty police officer through his campaign account.
