Today, around 2:30 p.m., I saw a squad car driving down Alpha Rd. toward the police station. Later this evening, around 9 p.m., there was a squad car that pulled out of the London Square parking lot.
I really don't see the point why these ineffective police fashion models are allowed to waste taxpayer money to drive around and do nothing. If they aren't willing to write tickets for repeated calls about excessive noise, then they won't write traffic tickets or anything else.
We'd probably be better off automating the squad cars. Have robots record what goes on around them and have maybe a handful of trained computer geeks mail out the tickets. And if there's a suspicion of harassment, say, through noise, then the local police department can loan out a recording device to the victim. Much like how Animal Control in Paris, TX would loan out live traps to catch stray dogs and the like.
Put the police force "on call," like nurses. If there isn't anything violent going on, then they don't work and they don't get paid. Only the computer geeks and maintenance workers would be working full-time.
