From about 10:45 p.m. to 11:45 p.m., I called the FBPD twice. The first call, they didn't bother visiting with me first, so I don't know if they even showed up. The second call, the dispatcher sounded like she had the completely wrong address for the first call, and the cops did visit with me. They had checked out the two units next door to the unit above me, but not the unit above me, where the loud music was coming from.
They were also saying, "Oh, but we don't hear anything" and I told them you have to go around the back of the building to hear it. That's what I had to do. I don't think they did that, because after the second visit, the loud music was still going.
A bit miffed that the FBPD is this useless, I called again and told them that FBPD plays a prominent role in my blog. That the blog is about the ghetto-ification of Farmers Branch, and that the cops won't do anything about it.
Frankly, there should be a law that if public services paid for through property taxes fail to do their job, then the taxpayers get reimbursed. In plain English, I'm saying the FBPD should repay their salaries to the taxpayers, since FBPD is little more than a "uniform beauty pageant".
We need real law enforcement, not living manikins to advertise the latest police uniform.
Look, if an ordinary citizen can walk around at night and find the source of loud music, then two cops should be able to do the same. And if it can be heard outside the walls, then it's too loud. Thus, the cops should go up to the offending apartment and either tell the tenant to turn it down or write a citation. Neither was done.
I don't know how much the average cop from FBPD is paid, but even a penny a year is too much for this lot of lazy-bones.
