alt Hacker NewsA "fun" observation I've had is that politicians and police tells us that they are focusing on crimes that increases the perception of safety. Then for some reason they spend time on petty drug deals, gangs that mostly fight internally and other crimes that the average person would never experience.
If they wanted to do something to increase feeling of safety, and justice, they'd crack down on bike theft.
Yes, we also have a local politician who is very much into the appearance of "tough on crime" and has done vanity work with police like catching homeless shoplifters attempting to resell food on the street. The police also love bragging about impounding unregistered scooters and dirtbikes.
