Yeah learn to get plates. It's not so hard if you practice a little. If you notice a car, try to take their number. You'll learn the state patterns, which also helps.

When I was moving into my first condo, my home inspector got sideswiped on the street. He was freaking out and I had to tell him like three times, "I saw the plate." He finally calmed down, realized what I was saying, and after he called 911, they'd found the driver less than 30 minutes later.

Then he inspected the shit out of that condo!

People here keep saying the cops do nothing, but your comment is proof that it doesn't have to be that way, and didn't used to be that way. The difference between now and then is a full-scale assault by ACAB politicians on the city's justice system.

Lol, not my point at all. Lazy cops existed then and they exist now. It's always been on normal folks to take steps to make it easy as possible if you want any hope of getting their help.

It doesn't matter that it wasn't your point, the fact is you called 911, got an effective response, and a criminal was caught. That was possible in 2015, is no longer possible, and ought to be made possible again.

Agreed, the cops have gotten especially lazy and insolent, and we should fire many of them. But it took how many months to clean house in Uvalde? So odds are we'll be sticky with this crop for years.
