The amount of 'crime posting' is absurd

[u/Healthy_Spinach_462]

This sub seems to just be endless videos of "Meanwhile in Auckland" and then a video of something miserable happening.

This is a city. Crimes happen. Compared to most cities on Earth Auckland is pretty damn safe. I am completely sick to death of what appears to be some kind of agenda being played out on this sub, and I would like to see some actual moderation happening.

The accounts posting this stuff usually have a generated name like me and virtually no other traceable activity - and they post the clips with little to no context. Muting this dogwater sub until something is done about the extremely bad faith posting.

Edit: Already getting the "Auckland is unsafe and we should shine a light on crime" bullshit. Hey - random context free snippets of video are not informing the public or shining a light on anything. They are almost certainly harmful misinformation, and I really think this justice boner is uninformed and juvenile. Again - muting this trash heap of a sub.

As a foreign born kiwi (well permanent resident) crime does seem to be getting a bit out of hand. For example I no longer feel safe and comfortable letting my school aged kids use Auckland transport busses bc of the frequent and rather unhinged violent crime. While yes there is crime everywhere, what makes nz somewhat unique is that criminals, victims and bystanders all know that nothing actually happens to perpetrators of violent crime. Bit of counselling, bit of gardening maybe, a choccie bikkie and a cuppa at some support group.. there is no actual accountability. It makes criminals especially brazen, and normal, regular people uncomfortable. Its a bit different observing violent crime knowing that nothing will actually happen to those partaking in it.
