Old and Busted - NYPD; New Hotness - LAPD
Instead of stealing ideas from New York, it seems like Brownie is looking west:
- The Los Angeles Police Department in coming months will downsize its specialized units and stop responding in person to traffic collisions and other minor incidents as part of a broad reorganization aimed at preserving patrol and community engagement functions amid new fiscal constraints.
Although specific figures weren't available Friday, the reshuffling will reduce the size of the vaunted but troubled Metropolitan Division, as well as cut the air support, robbery and homicide and gang and narcotics divisions. The department also will reduce desk hours at its stations, cut special deployments in popular areas such as Venice and Hollywood, and stop staffing teams that cover homelessness issues.
A total of 234 officers will move back into patrol. Station desks will be manned only during weekday hours. Victims of misdemeanor hit-and-run crashes and collisions with minor injuries will be advised to file a report online.
It's far past time to get back to the nuts and bolts of policing. No more number-driven units, no more confiscated money (unaccountable 1505 cash) to fund other Units and toys, lose the fleet of unmarked cars given to all sorts of pin cushions and house mice.
In fact, here's a free idea for Brownie and crew:
- Start enforcing Traffic Laws again
We see so many assholes on the road now, mostly due to reduced traffic over the COVID scare. They all think they're exempt from following the Rules of the Road. We've got car cameras, body cameras, POD cameras all over the place, so "racial profiling" will be a pointless accusation. Start filling traffic court with moving violators and tell Corp Counsel to pursue convictions, start taking cars and start taking back the streets.

Good Men in Black reference, SCC
Pen pals with Charlie Beck?
(NOT a chance!)
The numbers game is what fucked up the department. It was what got bosses and POs merit promoted. However I doubt it will ever change. What should have happened a long time ago is close the station to the public from 6pm to 6am. and on weekends. There’s nothing urgent to be done and most reports can be done over the phone anyway. Save a lot of money and put cops on the streets. The suburbs are only open during day hours M-F
I cannot disagree more.
To enforce traffic you must:
Stop someone. They don't want to stop. Then what do you do?
If they do stop they are going to video you. We don't look good on video.
If they stop and video you AND don't have license or won't give it up, what are you going to do?
Why invite trouble?
Leave people / folks alone.
Start writing the shitheads that drive with the high beam headlights on for no good reason please!@@ My old Mr Magoo eyes cant take it anymore please be the Police and put a stop to this, that and the chronic tail gating that is so prevalent these days.ISP Troopers please catch the chronic speeders with these SRT Jeep Cherokees going way over 120 mph on I55 at night it's getting way beyond dangerous out there. I'm calling on any ANY Law enforcement Officer than can put a stop to this.
Traffic court... extremely inconvenient for the officers and the judge just lets them go.
Who in their right mind would stop a car for traffic ? Put your self and partner in the trick bag if it goes sideways.
Who would stop for the Chicago police knowing that they can't persue for... anything.
Mayor lori will just forgive their fines.
Much risk for nothing.
Biden said shoot 'em in the leg replied:
There is no such thing as a "a pointless accusation."
All allegations are considered 100% true and cop guilty.
There is no "reasonable person" defense anymore.
Across the USA there are videos of cops RUNNING away
from people running at them with knives shouting "I will kill you!!!"
Cops shoot at last second. Then democratic dim wits, say they should
have shot in the leg.
No CPD should enforce any traffic law, it is very high risk with no reward.
"He only stopped me cause I'm black."
Okay.. Lets review the camera footage.
My goodness, I can not even see who is driving the car when you went thought the red light at 80 miles an hour ???
NO SHIT !!!!
GUILTY !!!
I understand the need for ramping up traffic enforcement.
However, I cannot in good conscience advocate for more citizen contact 1) during the pandemic and 2) in these crazy times where citizen contact leads to beefs/getting stripped/fired/sued/imprisoned.
On the other hand, I can get down with not responding to everything.
CPD responds to some crazy number like 80% of all 911 calls.
Most other major agencies respond to about 30% of 911 calls from what I recall.
Just because someone calls 911 doesn’t mean that the police are needed.
I get the liability of not going, but we shouldn’t be responding to more than 50% of the nonsense calls in this city.
I drive down the Dan Ryan to go to Indiana for gas. It's like the ghetto 500 with motorcycles and cars driving probably in excess of 100 mph weaving in and out of traffic. The Ike isn't any better and forget about the city streets with people running red lights.
"...so "racial profiling" will be a pointless accusation."
All law enforcement by a white cop against a black person is"racial profiling".
The argument that a white cop in Englewood will not see a white person for weeks,
and not have an opportunity to enforce any law on a white person, has been ignored
and dismissed by our reviewers: the community, media, etc.
It is not worth the hassle to enforce minor stuff. Who cares? Nothing will change, why bother?
How many cops could be hired and working beat cars by getting rid of that useless waste of money helicopter unit.
"Start filling traffic court with moving violators and tell Corp Counsel to pursue convictions,
start taking cars and start taking back the streets."
In McHale's Navy, Tim Conway said it best, "I love that kind of talk!"
SCC, you forgot to mark your post satire.
Some young, just off probation, working with his classmate, might think your serious.
Now, with the Harris/Biden administration upon us, is no time for real police work.
SCC, off duty, you saw a few traffic violations.
You remembered the good old days before police cameras, cellphone videos, etc.
You want traffic enforcement! You want "aggressive preventative patrol."
You want to say the most beautiful words you could say on the radio,
"2611, On view UUW, 720 W O'Brien st, 1 in custody, give me an RD."
Like the single blue bubble on a 72 Dodge, those days are gone. Forever.
You know it, we all (should) know it.
SCC, you're joking right?
Take back the streets...ha ha ha ho ho!!!
And . . . F you Dwarf!
Most laws will not be effectively enforced until the news media and the politicians stop demonizing police. Smart officers are not proactive during times like these.
Really? You want to spend your time annoying the citizenry by giving them traffic tickets? If you really believe that's a winning strategy you have completely lost your mind. That will inevitably devolve back into speed traps and traffic ticket quotas and what little trust the average law-abiding citizen has in police will be gone completely.
Personally I don't understand why police respond to minor traffic accidents anyway. There really isn't a crime in many of them other than some trivial traffic infraction. Let the insurance companies fight it out amongst themselves over who is going to pay the damages. Should never have become a police matter in the first place.
Get the police out of revenue generation entirely.
People are going to start wondering what they are paying taxes for.
Quick question: If the police in L.A. will no longer respond to traffic accidents, how are people supposed to get police reports for the insurance company? I’ve never been able to get my car fixed (paid by insurance) without a police report. And does this mean nobody gets a ticket for smashing into my car unless there are injuries?
Nice try SCC... word on the street is that police can’t chase for traffic. Try stopping one of these goofs and it’s off to the races for them. Plus are you serious?? We don’t enforce real crime and ape face Foxx let’s them all go anyways . So you expect judges to enforce the lowest of the low on the board with traffic laws? Not happening. You are starting to think like a suburban police chief now
Claimg racial profiling will be around for a long tim, if not ever. It seems that whenever there is a discrepency in the racial makeup of just about anything, it must be racism and profiling. More arrests for violent crimes, more high school dropouts, more white people scoring higher on any type of test, fewer black people approved for loans or getting their cars or houses repossessed. It must be racism, never behavior
To the commenter asking about getting a report number for insurance purposes and police no longer responding to minor traffic accidents:
I do believe the article says they can be reported online- and you would still get your report number for insurance purposes.
I would assume that you are also free to go to the police station and file your report at the desk.
The department is simply getting away from downing a car on a simple clerical job, when that same car can actually remain available to be responding to an in-progress/violent call or emergency. No need to take a first responder out of service for a traffic crash. It’s not as personal, I know. But all you really need is the number for insurance purposes.
Also- I noticed that they are closing their stations at times, and providing limited service hours.
I’m assuming they have secured stations like our suburbs do, with a secured waiting area that can’t access the desk. So that would never happen here.
Not to mention- we can’t close our stations because they also double as homeless hotels. Always a vacancy in 002 or 011.
Traffic?Profile? Sheeeeeet no! That’s what speed bumps and red light cameras are for.
See, this is exactly why I decided to be a welder. I turned in my badge, went back to college on the GI Bill, and got a good job where my work is appreciated. I get to feel good about doing good work, and no one calls me anything if I do my job. The writing is on the wall. They don't want you, don't help them anymore. Move out of the city and watch it all burn down from a safe distance.
Start with speed cameras on LSD.
Huge revenue there.
I see people doing 70 in a 40.
Have fun in traffic court then
1st 7 months of the year? Champaign pd wrote 1 ticket for speeking 0 11 501 or 0 6 303. Defunding works.
No more Autobahn :D
Because of the defunding of the police and lack of manpower, we no longer to take your report at this time. I like it...
Wait a minute, does this mean certain members of the community will be exempt from fines and prosecution-_-
With a NO CHASE policy why bother with a traffic stop? These assholes know we can't chase and if we do we're held responsible for their actions. No, let them have their day. A true change will only occur when someone in the Mayor's or Prickwinkles life is killed becasue of one of these assholes disregard for life.
At the end of the day, the law-abiding taxpayer loses...
We Are All Replaceable
SCC, enforcing traffic laws is a good idea in theory, but not in Chicago. There will be no consequences for the violations and it will only put more police officers under scrutiny.
Heres how to save some $$.

Dear distinguished gentleman,
Some of these A-holes use after market halogen bulbs (non-no) which make shit way brighter than they should be. But I feel ya, they also leave brights on while on 2 lane highways smh did they stop teaching common courtesy in roadway driving lol I'm ASSuming all are properly licensed.my bad
“Take back the streets”???? “Kick ass and take names”?
In a climate where officers across the nation are being fired and crucified for doing their job? I Don’t think so SCC..time to stand down and wait for the pendulum to swing the other way.
not a cop....
everyday I ride home on the Stevenson expressway, everyday I see the same unmarked car with his blue lights on riding the shoulder just to get home quicker.
yeah, people notice shit
Traffic crashes, even minor, are a pretty traumatic for most people. Even a small impact can traumatize occupants. So I’d send a car ASAP. It’s a god way to show the public we are out here working and make sure everyone is ok and cut them some paper they actually need and get them on their way.
If minor and they choose to drive into the station great. At least they got their money’s worth of police attention and we may have diffused a incident that could escalate. We all know how expensive these cars are and the repairs.
Then get a drink and or a and or a snack and hit the station for the report. I say it’s the best form of pr and interaction for the average citizen. These are the people who follow the rules, mostly, and pay for plate stickers and city stickers, the kind of average citizen we want on our side. So show up show some concern make sure no ones hurt and cut a report. Just my opinion.
And the Beat Goes On......
The kids in 011 will still bring in Activity!
Been preaching this for over a decade. But noooooo trafcic isnt "cool" .. not portrayed in the movies that I watched growing up that made me want to be the police.. as cool and BA... nope only drugs and guns!
"Traffic isn't REAL police work"
I can't be on or in a cool covert team or tac doing traffic .. hell nah.
Been preaching traffic was the thing to cut the legs off the shit heads.. for yearssssss.
As for going to traffic court and the judge let's them go.. so be it you will get them again next time AND not likely they will be on bound still from that last ticket... which now means an arrest.
Plus how is that different from arresting for dope, unless in large weight, which more then likely will be from traffic so knowing your traffic PC probably would come in handy
Not to mention most of the $hit heads don't have a DL or are suspended or revoked so bye bye to their car. Which now takes they ability to run guns drugs and do drive-bys.
Due to the above.. you more then likely will never be in traffic court but only at 26.
Driving is a privilege not a right
So no worries of violating their civil rights stopping a car for traffic.
Leave the helicopter 🚁 unit alone. In fact, they need more money and support. God Bless them and Omaha for helping us out.
Lets start by deleting the Marine Unit:
They are not needeed. Let the CFD, Coast Guard and IL Conservation police handle the water...
Any investigation can then be handed over to on shore CPD!!
They have slept long enough...

So you risk your safety to save $5.00 to $8.00 on a fill-up?
Welcome to the banana republic
No more number driven units? We currently have the biggest numbers driven unit in the history of the department with the Community Safety Team. They are trying desperately to get to 1000 bodies in the unit and Barz and his minion LTs are all
Over the cops, even the ones there on reverse seniority, for as many numbers as you can get. And if you don’t hit their Magic number then you are ridiculed and told how worthless you are. Good thing my detail ends in December, never thought I would miss my Bt car.
Red lights are now optional. If there ain't no camera there ain't no compliance. Seems to be an increase in robbery/burglary along the Edens and Kennedy. Apparently word on the street is if you make it to the ramp you're home free. Be a shame if someone set up a little checkpoint half way down the ramp at Harlem or Peterson/Caldwell about 4 AM. Best thing about putting it on the ramp is..........if you get a runner, chances are they'll become a roller as they tumble down the side of the ramp.
So once again all the law abiding taxpayers get it stuck up their moon.
The few services we usually ever require, a traffic accident report, a report for a burglary or theft, times where we just want to feel we are getting some value for our tax dollar, maybe the only time we need a police officer, isn’t going to happen.
Hey I rarely see a marked unit up here in Lincoln Square. My cars that my taxes pay for, are sent where they are not wanted.
Fine, you want me to tough it out with little or no police, then lower my taxes.
I’m a retiree, I always carry when I so much as walk the dog. I’m okay. What about everybody else that respects the law, and needs the police ?
Are you kidding me with this Traffic Enforcement fantasy? Take away the COVID/Scamdemic and the current climate of crucifying any type of police action against the community.God forbid you ever write a ticket or arrest anyone that is a softball buddy,friend of a friend,distant family member,family member,neighbor,acquaintance etc etc of anyone on this department and you have your name and personal information placed on this site for eternity with all of the keyboard tough guys threatening you.Then there is all of those videos out there of you trying to be the nice guy and using discretion that will be used against you in criminal and civil court along with the academy award performance that you have to put on when you stop any Off Duty anything.If that is not enough,God forbid you are proficient at Traffic Enforcement requiring extensive O.T and Court Time.Now you have every boss and the city bean counters on your back.So looking at all these factors,No Thanks.

***********************
Get a police report online, call 311 or go to the station. Most traffic crashes end without tickets anyway, as police don’t often on biew the cause.

Accident reports are strictly for the convenience of the insurance companies. Cops are paper takers for them and tickets don't determine whether they pay or not. A ticket issued to a person means nothing especially when the other person doesn't show up for court and the ticket is DWP'd.
Obviously the only solution is to ban all cars.
Stopping a car for mere traffic can go sideways every and any day of the year. It's not worth it with this anti-police environment, the departments huge disregard for police morale/well-being and family life. Ontop of that you have the "fuck the police, doxing, and we will kill you, you picking on me cause im black, fuck you im recording yo ass" mentality from the unknown number of hoodtrash/domestic terrorists that make up offenders on the street you encounter. Sorry, I told my partner a long time ago, this city won't protect us, nor the department even if we are supercop/robocop and solve the crime ourselves for a slam dunk arrest, there will always be someone to sue you or complain about you for anything. Personally I do not think the state nor the city will get rid of traffic crashes, there's always a numbers mindset over here to "prevent" crime from Compstat I feel like, not a budget problem.
Learn how to do a dope 501, and you'll realize the power you have over these shitheads.
They still think they'll fail the blood pull if they've smoked in the last 3 days.
Good fences make good neighbors.
Put the speed cameras on Lake Shore Drive, set then to 12 above the limit, and reap in the dough as well as reduce the speeding.

Definitely agree you can move coppers to the streets and get them out of the dirty stations save money more boots on the street! Open 0600 close 1800 makes sense! That also means all the drug addictions err homeless could find another place to stay, maybe Larry’s house or trust fund babies many mansions even though some have no toilet Due to his every blaming it on his wife we talk about a coward that’s a real pussy!!
Traffic stops are almost as bad as answering domestic calls for things to go wrong and we’re in the trick bag.
did kalifornia mandate steel belted foot wear yet?
those punji syringes sticking out of shit piles is a bit concerning.
The last time that I drove on Chicago roads the drivers were so looney that I felt like I was back in the 3rd world.
How many cops could be hired and working beat cars by getting rid of that useless waste of money helicopter unit.
I gotta admit those pilots flying that city/CPD helicopter are fearless badasses. Or have 9 lives. You couldn’t pay me enough to even hover 2 feet off the ground in that R-MAN maintained metal death bucket. Fuuuuuuuuuuuck that. Real scary stuff.
traffic courts a joke. Obama license a joke. This city is a joke. 2 and done
Great to see politicians keeping there promises to the criminals. Let’s see how this defund police fiasco works out in LA. My moneys on more murder, rampage, rape, etc while officers are told to hang out in station during the new “closed for bussiness hours”
Traffic enforcement leads to arrests and finding of other crime. No one wants that anymore. Policing is over. Drive it like you stole it.
One of the old timers in 011 said it best years ago... “they promoted me to ADS - Ain’t Doin’ Shit”. He was years ahead of the curve.
"I'm calling on any ANY Law enforcement Officer than can put a stop to this."
Lets see if you can stop voting democRAT. Worry about traffic violations when the Country, State, county and city are going to SHIT because democRATS cheated on the election. We should just make all political offices "MERIT".
The art of the chase, which a General Order says we ain’t allowed to do but encouraged by COPA so they can continue to yammer about reform, which Hashed Browns said was his #1 priority aside from his advocacy disciplinary measures pushed by Grootführer.
These eggheads once proposed they were going to come up with some sort of “traffic summons” where all the PD needed was to record a fleeing vehicles plate number. They were going to be screening calls at OEMC, which perhaps they do or simply let the phone ring for 10 minutes before answering and still low prioritize most calls. The usual 20 min response doubles and yet oemc still maintains a full house except for actual dispatchers. So much for the grand ideas, empty promises and repeat merit bumps.
The same merit folk been drawing up plans to increase street manpower by liquidating house mouse positions - for 3 decades and then only reshuffle cubicles. Every time there’s a administrative dump a new Unit is created. $64 mil was cut out of the proposed cut of $200 million from the 2021 Budget, so something has to look like it’s reimagined management. Hashed Brown is as clueless as Larri so he’s reaching out far and wide to make whatever he can appear to be some great dramatic reorganization. All bullshit again again.
Enforcement - enschmorsement. Not a single court in all Chicago-CookCo (closed since March) will impose a fine on folks, and chasing the hazards will only increase head count numbers for el’COPA. Even the ANOV and Red Light camera tickets are tossed out by zip code. The only one paying is the one who stands to lose a day of work and a days pay for the city piling on of fines and fees.
Btw, city sent out a letter that they’re gonna start to collect water and garbage fees monthly (along with any applicable late fee). Perhaps they’ll come up with a method or plan to pre-charge for potential traffic and parking fines, sort of an escrow...based on zip code where they plop down these red light revenue generating devices.
"Most laws will not be effectively enforced until the news media and the politicians stop demonizing police. Smart officers are not proactive during times like these."
To paraphrase Sgt. Carter, "You are a genius Pvt. Anonymous poster."
Light them up and they run. Stay behind them for one block, shut off the lights, and they still run, and then down the road a bit they run over someone and you, the cop are in the jackpot. Fuck that.
If you want to give tickets, give them to the people with Trump stickers. Why? Because they will not run from you, they will argue maybe a little bit, they will take the tag and thank you when it's over. Better
Chase the ghetto rats and you are looking for trouble because it is racists to enforce the law against black people.
So what to do?
Look no further than the advice of the man who is most responsible for creating this situation, none other than General Grant who wrote:
"I know no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution."
So follow the advice of the man who was most responsible for freeing the slaves and sit back and let the new policy prevail. A civilized society can't endure without rules and some way to enforce them.
Oh, by-the-way, they tore down his stature the other day in San Francisco because he was racists.
Fetal means fetal. We’ve past the point of no return and lost any sense of authority in this day and age. Anyone who pulls over for you deserves a pass.
Traffic court needs to be split into at least three locations...north, south, west sides. Add some parking too!
Here’s a suggestion from a former cop turned lawyer. Since every time the police shoot someone now I see the offender had “mental health issues” and the community cries that they were looking for mental health assistance have in each district mental health rapid response teams. When a call comes in and someone legit asks for mental health assistance ask them if they’d like a police response or a mental health response. Regardless what they choose give a quick indemnity disclaimer that they hold the city harmless from a whatever comes next. That way there’s a record of whether it was a true “mental health” crisis or Typical ghetto crap. Tired of this garbage. Everything is “we just needed mental health assistance”.
Why? Pointless......
All fines and tickets against POC are being negated anyway.....
They also don’t have to pay garbage fees, water bills, buy city stickers....
So, what’s the point of putting ourselves in jeopardy with these types
of traffic stops? Only to be thrown out in court?
The risk is NOT WORTH any potential gain at this time in our lives!
What good will any of that do when you CANNOT really patrol and do real police work??? Its all academic nonsense if you cannot do REAL police work.......
Posted on June 4, 2020 by a veteran LAPD Metro Division Officer-
————————————-
“To those who have fought for it freedom has a flavor that the protected will never know”
Snapshots that will remain in my memory...
-a man covered in soot, boarding up his pizza business that had been looted and running to us to offer us a pizza;
-an older man driving through the crowd and police lines, we readied lethal force, then looked and saw his car windows shattered, blood streaming down his face, hands on his ears and he was screaming, we yelled “hold! He’s a victim”;
-the orthodox Jewish community out in force in front of their homes and temples to cheer us and thank us;
-young girls being pushed to the front of the mob by masked men (boys) to form a barrier between rioters and police;
-fighting inch by inch to drive rioters back to rescue officers and a bus driver trapped, pushing through smoke and explosions of burning police cars;
-A young pregnant woman screaming as 25 looters, running from us broke into her apartment and we extracted them;
-rescuing an American flag from rioters and folding it properly right behind the skirmish line;
-one of my partners getting taken down, rioters attempting to drag him into the crowd and some very senior Metro officers stepping in and effecting a rescue;
-so many more, not even scratching the surface, and not done yet...
The Battle of 3rd and Fairfax. 22 Metro Men and Women, later joined by 22 more, with two young patrol officers that somehow got lost and mixed in our line, pushing back and breaking a violent mob of several thousand over a 3 hour period. Cars and busses burning, pelted with rocks, bottles, bleach, urine, struck with metal bars, punched, kicked, spit on cursed, broken batons, threatened and maligned as a racist and Nazi as I stood shoulder to shoulder with a more diverse group of men and women then was represented by the mob. Not an inch given and taking back the street yard by yard. Wars are won in significant battles, and I believe that engagement broke the will of the violent rioters, at least for the moment. The main core of agitators realized that they cannot win. Since then the crowds in LA have been violent but only sporadically and the professional agitators have not been able to rally crowds to mass violence. Bottom line is when we show up they don’t want any. And well, looters will be looters. ..
It’s been an amazing, heartbreaking and motivating experience. But mostly motivating! The best time of my career. As always I’m honored to work with the bravest, best trained and most effective police officers in the world.
Good people of LA and America, speaking for my division, we will always support and defend “the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.", we will not bend our knees and, if allowed to do so by command staff and civilian authority, we will get your city back from the mobs whose wish is to divide us.
First they do "Broken Windows," "quality-of-life" offenses, "interact" walk-and-talk with "community members," hand out ice cream bars and citations for being good, &c.
Then it all swings the other way; lots of "special teams," "Operation Exile for five minutes," &c.
Back and forth, back and forth. Now it's gonna be "Mr. Biden, tear down this wall" and we can double the US population again in the middle of an epidemic.
Look at these pictures. Freeze your blood. Here are the real "dreamers" Biden is going to open the gates for...

You feeling OK SCC? Should avoid traffic stops line the plague. That’s usually what kicks off most of what the media crucifies us for. You’ll have every scumbag hoping to strike the ghetto lottery. They won’t show their hands, won’t roll down the window, the list will go on, to try to make us react.
A total of 234 officers will move back into patrol.
-----------
Sure, that'll happen. As a 'broad' on the job, I never worked inside unless forced to. Don't respond to tons of shit, like FIRE. Just don't go. Does anyone really give a f*ck anymore? Unless someone is getting the snot beat out of them and you're around the corner, go slow.
I am not the police but I work all over Illinois. This post couldn’t be more on point! Last week I was on the West side & 5 times someone blew through the intersection on a dead red. I am not counting all the yellow speed up red light that would put the number over 17. I am talking 8-10 seconds after I got the green light these morons are flying through the intersection. However, I understand that some officers have the mindset of just working their calls for service & no “proactive” policing. I would be the same way. But these mitts are going to kill a family soon. Be safe all Police
Put speeding camera on LSD, the expressways, all major thoroughfares. That will be more lucrative than a casino. You have outstanding tickets? Put a boot on them. Sorry, you can't renew your license plates or city sticker until you pay your tickets. Put a boot on them.
Won't pay your tickets? Cancel their link
card, Section 8 and SSI. Your kids can't apply for selective enrollment schools or college prep high schools, you won't pay your tickets.

Give the public what they want. Move to the fire department model of dispatch, respond from quarters, handle the call, return to quarters and write reports. Rinse and repeat as many times as necessary.
I don't get these suckers out on the street writing tickets, making traffic stops and looking for a chance to get beefed on.

The numbers game is what fucked up the department. It was what got bosses and POs merit promoted. However I doubt it will ever change. What should have happened a long time ago is close the station to the public from 6pm to 6am. and on weekends. There’s nothing urgent to be done and most reports can be done over the phone anyway. Save a lot of money and put cops on the streets. The suburbs are only open during day hours M-F
Where would the piss bums sleep? They are an important voting block for the Democratic party. Also traffic stops for driving took a nose dive when Obama passed the state law requiring Officers to document all traffic stops.
The streets are like mad Max on steroids, no respect for anything and with everything going on you cannot blame the coppers liberalism has caused all of this, this is what the democratic assholes want so they can have it. Let’s make sure that we start closing the police district stations down after 6 PM just like the suburbs do Monday to Friday closed Saturday and Sunday why waste of manpower and they’re saying this virus is getting so much worse why expose more coppers to it? Close it down.

I drive down the Dan Ryan to go to Indiana for gas. It's like the ghetto 500 with motorcycles and cars driving probably in excess of 100 mph weaving in and out of traffic. The Ike isn't any better and forget about the city streets with people running red lights.

It sounds like Gary Indiana 45 years ago.
Seriously, look everywhere outside of cook county wasteland... enforcing on the book regulations equates to better communities. You leave cook and it’s like... woah people are doing what they are supposed to do? Odd, I think this also jives with the giant red status of the rest of Illinois. I could be old and crazy here, I apologize. However, you cross into cook and even the concrete sucks!!
Beginning 1st period of 2021, tactical teams will be disbanded and officers will be put on each watch. Coming here very soon.
Re; LAPD not responding to traffic accidents. They will respond if there are injuries and or city property involved.
You have to report the accident to the DMV. Im sure that id the information insurance companies will need.

Leave the people alone if you wanna keep your job. It's that simple. Take your time to calls and write long detailed reports. Check it and re-check it for accuracy. Good luck everyone.
I'm good with enforcing the traffic laws, as long as you don't ticket me.
Seriously, though, you'd have to have WAY bigger balls than I do to do a night time traffic stop.
I cannot disagree more.
To enforce traffic you must:
Stop someone. They don't want to stop. Then what do you do?
If they do stop they are going to video you. We don't look good on video.
If they stop and video you AND don't have license or won't give it up, what are you going to do?
Why invite trouble?
Leave people / folks alone.
OF course if a problem is going on at your house while you are at work you expect some policing done i am sure....... pathetic
Why enforce any laws when you have a social justice racist as the States attorney. Let it burn, fuck them. Let them have it their way, and when they rise to genocide and they say its time to do something. The answer is do it your fucking self.
Good luck with that. Tolerating any behavior will lead to more of it. Maintain your stocks of ammunition for personal use. Acquaint family members with firearms. Build local alliances with likeminded neighbors. Stay fetal on the job.
Here is Joel Weston running away also known as cowardice, failure to engage, or conduct unbecoming. I guess this is our new de-escalation model of force.
On a serious note... The suspect was never shot. I'm shocked and appalled that this Deputy is still a cop. CA is not the place to look for all problems being solved. Good luck America.

.....and what LAW are they violating? I do not recall a law on the books about covid. I am sure it is some obscure Public Health violation.

Hey Harris/Biden voter, as usual, you're not paying attention.
The subject is traffic enforcement, not a problem at someone's house.
Like your candidate and aoc, you are easily confused and you don't listen when adults are talking.
I hope you're not police.
No more number driven units? We currently have the biggest numbers driven unit in the history of the department with the Community Safety Team. They are trying desperately to get to 1000 bodies in the unit and Barz and his minion LTs are all
Over the cops, even the ones there on reverse seniority, for as many numbers as you can get. And if you don’t hit their Magic number then you are ridiculed and told how worthless you are. Good thing my detail ends in December, never thought I would miss my Bt car.

Barz, the guy with 4 career honorable mentions, is a big numbers guy who will piss on anyone to get ahead. Anyone who volunteers to work for that guy is fucking up. If “used car salesman” isn’t the first thing that pops into your head when dealing with him then you have other problems. He’s probably has all 1000 of those soft balls thinking he’s getting them into OCD or whatever its called now.
i drive at night to wisc on 294 several times a month. its worse than the autobahn, large groups of chargers and challengers and bmws and audis weaving in and out well over 100. normals traffic is going 80 in 55 and these dudes are just flying by probably going 120-130. very few people have the training or tires for that kind of road racing. i would hazard a guess most of them are high on something. funny once you get in cheeseland they all slow down and do the limit, kenosha county does a lot of traffic and farther north wsp are ruthless. i agree traffic enforcement in illinois is a minefield for officers, sad for the normal people here, traffic cops were the only thing that slowed me down when i was young. tickets used to be a big thing, you were always guilty, fines and cost, insurance went up or got cancelled, and three strikes and you were suspended, and that was the end of your job and love life. but thats when life had rules, rules are racist and faschist, so now we live in a high speed reckless socialist utopia. i just dont know anymore, i have more questions than answers.
Since the jane adams was rebuilt it is like the autobahn with goofy assholes blowing by you doing 100 plus. See some enforcement once in awhile around the 53/woodfield mall area but that is it.
They won’t show their hands, won’t roll down the window

What law actually requires they do so?
I'm not sure there's even any law that requires them to do much of anything when stopped other than present their license and their insurance card. They could do that by opening the window a sliver and handing it out in a baggie.
city employee here...
drove thru some dicey parts(aka the ghetto) of town couple of weeks ago
saw more fucked up driving in 5 minutes than in my entire lifetime(I'm 60)!
feel bad for you all in Mt. greenwood,ect. That shit is closing in on you fast!
And up in Edison et al. Don't laugh so hard.
The Shitheads(who by the way read this blog every day)are on a forced march north!
Who would have thought that living amongst CPD would be a liability?
Soon to be retired/moving out of state racist old white guy(of course)

Well, just a copper here, but lets see:
Restaurants are licensed...
Health dept in some way makes claims against the health and safety of these establishments...
So I'd guess at the very least, some licensing concerns for operating unsafe establishments based on operational imposed limitations and face covering
"Community Safety Team."
Do they mean, you know, uh, like, the police?
*
I don’t know other districts but 008 district 1st watch, officers are not allowed to make any misdemeanor arrest even for uuw. So, officers are not doing anything. One time a midnight Lt ordered a PO to write a to-from explaining why he made a misdemeanor arrest during the COVID. lol

I agree with you two, people staying there need to have their head examined. The shit you see makes you understand why people leave.
