Where Are the Cameras?

Cameras are great, right? They don't sleep, they can see in the dark, and they're all over the crime ridden west and south sides. So why aren't they catching this?
  • More than a dozen vehicles have been vandalized and ransacked this month throughout the West Garfield Park neighborhood on the West Side.

    In each case, someone has damaged a vehicle before going through the interior, according to a community alert from Chicago police. In some instances, multiple cars in the same block were damaged about the same time.
The Sun Times says "more than a dozen," but a quick scan of radio traffic and our usual e-mailers are saying it's between siz and a dozen cars per night. In other words, there have been something like one hundred different reports done, all downgraded to "theft" or "criminal damage."

Little wonder the FBI doesn't use Chicago numbers.

Downgraded from what? The report would be for theft from vehicle or criminal damage to vehicle. Charging is another thing.

I wonder who is downgrading it????

if you write a full and thorough report it will never be able to be downgraded.

If i code it out does it count as a crime?

That's why they're saying the cars were 'damaged' before someone went through them and stole items from them. The damage is breaking the windows. It's not like they keyed the car or spray painted the doors. Lies, lies and more lies.

Burglary to auto is a charge, not a UCR in case reporting.

Theft from vehicle is the proper classification in which items went missing . If no items went missing it would be criminal damage to vehicle.

Should an offender get caught wit proceeds.......the charge would be Burglary . One of the easiest felony cases to get charges approved on. Great 1st watch pinch.

If not theft and CDTV, then what? And please don’t say burglary. This is reporting, not charging.

I suppose it's racist to boobytrap a car to spray Butyl Mercaptan (skunk stink) in the surrounding area, when a window is smashed.

Who cares? Dont send the police. Send the complainant to ARP/311 and give them a report. The FEEBs don't care, the city and county doesn't care, people don't care about shootings that involve vehicles, or hijackings of vehicles with armed offenders, or a vehicle being used as a weapon, then why should we care about damage to a vehicle?

The same thing is going on the the suburbs, such as Palos Heights, Alsip and Crestwood. They are reducing crime by changing reporting. Entering a vehicle and tossing the inside is now not a burglary, but just theft. I have never agreed with the change in the law making entering a car to commit a theft a burglary, but that is the law now and should be reported as such.The suburbs do not even report crime news in the local papers, they do not want to scare the resident.

"Downgraded to theft"....it is theft. If there's an arrest you can charge burglary.

Robberies reported in Near West Side, West Side businesses: police
https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/robberies-reported-in-near-west-side-west-side-businesses-police/

Armed robber in clown mask and green outfit loots South Loop business

*That is just a few,there are many more at least the last guys "clowin" is believable.
Crime is down Pinocchio and his crew say, how about that team Toni,Tommy,Kimmy,the 50? Truth is not answering the door in the most corrupt city,state,county in the entire country,due to democrats everything that is wrong in a once civilized society.

Cameras.

Nonsense info from the FakeNews media.
Where’s the results of the daily SOL docket from Cook County Court?
How many repeat feral criminals are released every freaking day?

Man drops a pistol on the floor of a “secure” facility, witnessed by many.
Cameras could not identify item.
Case closed.

Looney LightLoafer is all for more cameras.

Camera shamera.
The feral of Garfield are immune to property and violent crime
Why is Garfield the issue, seems every day on 1621/1711 there’s some feral urchin walking down the street trying door handles and stealing from within, per NextDoor Edgebrook.

What good is a camera, the proceeds and a feral thief when there’s Prickwrinkle & KimmFxxxUp running Cook Co?
Inconclusive photos are only acceptable when the COPRAh accuses the police.

PoS Abilities:


1. Picking the last few remnants of meat off the bones availble.

2. Searching for that true ghetto treasure, hidden not so cleverly somewhere within that innocent hooptie.

3. Someone forgot not only where they stashed it, but which hooptie they stashed it in.

4. Ghetto version of joy riding, minus the riding.

5. "I know I left that body somewhere.........."

6. "If I can't have nuthin' nice, damn skippy tain't no one else gonna!!!!! Neither!!!!"

7. Ghetto life is like a box of chocolates.


Possibilities.

Funny

everybody who lives around midway has the same problem.

Yet no big deal. Downgraded and into the Abyss. NO E.T. ordered unless you are an exempt AND THEY DO COME OUT FOR THEM.

Same kids walking around never serving anytime in the county.

Exactly right, give the jagoffs their report, let their insurance deal with it (if they have insurance) and take your time doing the report, you have 8hrs to kill.

It is not downgraded it is what it is. Reporting vs charging. Theft from vehicle not burglary. Charged as burglary.

Right, keep asking for and getting more privacy invading government controlled cameras , what could go wrong with that idea ? Fucking useless unless some clouted asshat is trying to jam someone up. Silly Citizens , best case is the catch the useless donuffin after the fact. How about a real person doing Police work ? Well we know that is fucking over and a high hardy FUCK YOU to the ACLU and Co for making all that impossible.

Write them a ticket for parking in an alley. They get a couple of them, they will start using their garages for more than extra storage.
Cars gone, no more crime. It’s one of those biases against scofflaws.;)

I wish we could somehow escalate the debate around city crime stats for public consumption. It makes me sick to my stomach every time I hear crime is down. The cracks in this bold faced lie are really starting to show and it's becoming plain as day. The city has put everyone at risk and I think a class action lawsuit might be in order.
