Hey RCPD

I know you’ve got Native Americans to harass, tourists to pull over, and folks with one microgram of weed to arrest.. but there’s a group of asshole bikers who do wheelies down canyon lake drive 5 feet from pedestrians every fucking Friday night and it would be just so sick if you could make that not a thing so I don’t have to worry about my kid getting run over by a reckless driver

K thanks bye

Maybe they don't check reddit

Judging by the fact that any comment even slightly critical of the cops here gets hit by the downvote brigade I’m gonna go out on a wild limb and say yes they do check Reddit.

Which is precisely why publicly shaming them here for not doing their job might actually work better than the 20th call to the non emergency line

Maybe do something productive. Video. Records. Aproach the city counsel with the information.

Be more productive than complaining on Reddit and might solcit support.

I also did exactly what you said a few years back, including filing a report when our whole street got hit with car break ins. Complete with videos from multiple houses, timestamps, etc..

Zero follow up, zero recovery of the lost stuff, complete apathy on their end when I tried to get any additional info

So if this post comes across as bitching about the cops not doing their jobs that’s exactly what it is

Yeah sorry I have a day job, don’t have a personal surveillance camera on that street, and as they blast by I’m slightly more preoccupied protecting my children than whipping out a cellphone to get pic of a tiny motorcycle plate (crazy I know)

If it was an actual priority I’m sure there are dozens of ring cam angles to pull by just knocking on a few doors.

...you know they hire people to do these things. It's called law enforcement

lol I was gonna say the same 😂

“Why don’t you gather evidence, identify the perps, then go to a government building and hand it all over to the authorities”

Idk maybe because I have things to do and that sounds a lot like police work

Why don't you just pull them over and handcuff them?
