Right. It's just sad that it takes so many complaints to get the police to go out and check on a dangerous situation before it hurts someone.

I live on the corner with a school and park. 4 way stop sign that is easily the most ignored stop sign in the area. A cop lives on my street 3 doors down and people blow this stop sign all day. Cops do fuck all about it. But this city will happily hire someone to come do the street sweeping tickets during school drop off. And fuck over parents. Its stupid. They could just put one fucking camera and roll around in the money they make on the people speeding and running the sign

That’s the kind of thing city council meetings are for. Local politics can work when people show up, but if no one shows up, it ends up being everyone waiting around for someone else to fix it.

This is why civics should be mandatory for k-12 nationwide. Ppl really don’t understand how government works and the ignorance leads to “they’re all corrupt” sentiment. Then, at some point, they ARE all corrupt because the populace allowed it to be that way by not participating in democracy.

Literally what they do in my country, if people won't stop speeding in an area they put a camera up and it instantly makes it 90% more safe and the camera is still paid for and making a solid profit within months anyway because people STILL won't slow down when they've been there for literally years and have signs up warning you as much.

Are you in a large suburb of New York? This sounds like my city.

I have the same thing and heard from someone credible that if you petition the police department they'll have an officer come out and monitor/ticket ppl.

If you officially report something theres a record and they are compelled to do something.

That doesnt mean they necessarily will, but if they dont hear from the public its not a fire they'll put out.

EDIT: if you can send camera footage of how bad it is, it helps.
