I agree with you about looters.
Where there's a will, there's a way.
When we evacuated in Colorado, our town was crawling with law enforcement with barricades at each road in and out of town.
Nobody went in or out without proper ID.
We had no instances of looting.

They were driving an Infinity and still felt the need to steal? They got it reaal cheap next door.

For you to do it is okay, but for a government official to make the order is not........

Great deterrent though and cuts way down on recidivism.

If there has been a declaration of emergency and there are looters, it might well fall outside of normal statute law.
Looters are considered during an emergency to be somewhere in the neighborhood of child molesters.

'Dead right there' ought to be the law for looters who rob evacuated private dwellings during a natural disaster.
Now, walking into a shelled-out supermarket for food, medicine, or chlorine bleach to purify water is another thing entirely in my mind -- depending on the circumstances -- but thieves taking the opportunity in the chaos of evacuation to rob a private residence means 'dead right there' to me.

"They were driving an Infinity and still felt the need to steal?"In the time before automated garbage trucks and city leased trash bins I caught a guy in the back alley; he'd removed his well cut suit coat but still wore his tie while loading my two brand new steel trash cans into the trunk of his equally new Volvo.

This is nothing. Wait until the San Andreas lets go with an 8+ quake to see what L.A. is really like..............

You should have seen the LA Riots. An 8+ quake will make the riots look like the county fair.
To: BurbankKarl
The Jerry Maguire story may be true.
But all the warnings I heard over TV said to close the doors, pull the drapes, and leave doors and gates unlocked so police and fire could gain access.
They also said to clean your rain gutters but I doubt that one got a big response.
Also, the most noteworthy scene involving the police was a film of a guy in police uniform, with his police car parked in the driveway, standing on a roof hosing down what was reported as either his or his father's house.
