For the past few years I’ve had the feeling cop’s are doing everything they can to avoid interacting with the public. Cop activity is way down around me.
I think you’re right. I see lots fewer people pulled over, and I don’t think it’s because the general quality and courtesy of driving have improved so much. It seemed to start during the COVID nonsense in 2020.
It also seems that when I do see police activity, they’re swarming a minor incident in ridiculous numbers. Some months ago, apparently there was a domestic dispute at our next-door neighbors’ place, though we didn’t hear sounds of violence or even raised voices. Anyway, no fewer than five sheriff’s vehicles showed up for that. No one was arrested.
