The police broadcast their "catch" rates and suppress or under-report the "release" rates. It's a cynical ploy in much the same way Broward County police decriminalized teen crime in order to receive brownie points for bringing down the crime rate and receive increased funding. cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788126579896276199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585693.post-54920870864704896592018-03-03T23:14:10.508-05:002018-03-03T23:14:10.508-05:00cube, WHY 'catch' if you're going to r...cube, WHY 'catch' if you're going to release?

Back in the day, a landlord gave the requisite notice and then came in with the cops to force an eviction. Maybe things have changed and the rights of squatters trump those of the landlord. <br /><br />Another question I have is how one can amass $96,000 of debt in two years. $46,000/year seems awfully steep for such a tiny place. cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788126579896276199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585693.post-44277292331852792352018-03-03T09:02:13.879-05:002018-03-03T09:02:13.879-05:00Z: re: the phrase "ill-chosen domicile,"...Z: re: the phrase "ill-chosen domicile," I would say that I have nothing against dorms, but that it's an ill-chosen domicile for a person who's not a student and expects to live in it rent-free. <br /><br />Broward County is a mess and unfortunately not the only one. So yes, you're not the only one that thinks things are screwed up.<br /><br />I think "catch & release" is a stupid idea, but stupid ideas are a hallmark of liberal/progressive thought (oxymoron). The rules LEOs have to follow come from department heads and those rules don't always support good police tactics. I'm all for providing better leadership from the top down. cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788126579896276199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585693.post-39699643575972270992018-03-03T08:51:21.778-05:002018-03-03T08:51:21.778-05:00Sandee: It's a state of affairs when the liber...Sandee: It's a state of affairs when the liberal/progressive run anything. cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788126579896276199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585693.post-18708108218824866192018-03-03T08:48:52.591-05:002018-03-03T08:48:52.591-05:00The Welfare Queen: You mean Takei has come out str...The Welfare Queen: You mean Takei has come out strongly FOR gun control.

I know if you're a landlord and serve an eviction notice because of non-payment, the cops will come by and forcibly remove.

I think that you'd find a different reaction to both problems in different jurisdictions.<br /><br />Uneven and unequal policing is very regional as are policing styles. I worked in a unit that prosecuted police officers for misconduct at Orange County CA District Attorney and those prosecutions were few and far between because corruption was almost unknown. It would have been very different if I'd been working in Chicago or Detroit or even neighboring Los Angeles (because there was a court order to reduce hiring standards that resulted in corruption issues).LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585693.post-2686049597331205572018-03-01T22:44:31.427-05:002018-03-01T22:44:31.427-05:00Maybe school crossing guards?Maybe school crossing guards?Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07145008534811435024noreply@blogger.com
