“WHY ARE THE POLICE SO OFTEN GOING TO THE WRONG ADDRESS.”
We live in a world where everybody is exceptional. Everybody gets a participation prize. No outstanding people are allowed. Mediocrity is the norm. Grades are inflated so everybody passes whether they can spell, work math problems, or read a map; or not. When these people get out in the world they are not careful or complete in their thinking and actions. Our education system has created a product where “substandard” performance is outstanding. Young people never double-check themselves as they’ve been told everything they do is wonderful.
....and we live in a world where police can get around the Constitutional requirement for a warrant by asking their friendly neighborhood fellow government employee to look up the address for them.
“WHY ARE THE POLICE SO OFTEN GOING TO THE WRONG ADDRESS.”
When I was 17-18 I had a job delivering pizzas. Never went to the wrong address.
Later I had a job delivering flowers. Never went to the wrong address.
This was well before GPS. I had a map. That was it.
Recently our little community passed a new ordinance requiring bigger streeet numbers be affixed to the house, so emergency response could more easily find an address.
I have not seen anyone comply. I think it is just cover for incompetence. They can come back and say “we told you to put bigger numbers in front.”
