“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.”
It’s happening far too often to be explained away by incompetence.
The police officers who go to the “wrong houses” are doing so because they expect they will receive no backlash for doing so.
And don’t worry, *next* time they’ll get the right address.
Besides, the ladder thief might have (gasp) shot AT our blue uniformed ‘hero’. A law-abiding citizen minding his own business and not on the alert for a trigger happy officer?
Easy prey.
