Don't feel bad, we have that problem in Texas too. After my house was burglarized, the perp told them where he traded the guns for drugs. The police told us it was a "known drug house", but they never followed up on the lead, haven't heard from them since.
Yes, but that's in Texas. I'm sure in NYC the police have more than enough time to focus on shutting down Girl Scout cookie selling activities without anything else being neglected. (snerk snerk)
The only laws that seem to be enforced are the ones which will create revenue for whatever government is involved.
Yep, we have that problem here in my state, too.
I was hit by a drunk driver, and she drove off. I followed her to a parking lot (outside of a bar, go figure), boxed in her car so she couldn't leave, and called the cops. She begged me not to call them, saying, "If I get another (another???) DUI, I'll go to jail!" Tough nuts, Sweetie, I thought. After learning that I called the cops, she left the scene.
The cops came, took a report, called her home, threatened her with jail, and never arrested her. They also refused to return my phone calls demanded that they prosecute her and get her off of the streets. @$$holes.
