I’d move as it not like that everywhere. Much depends on where one lives especially in cities of any size. I have moved twice in one city with each time to escape the inner city that was forced my way.
Moved out of the city years ago precisely because of the new Police STate Gestapo agents out to raise revenue anyway they can from innocent civilians. Simi Valley where I lived for 35 years is probably one of the most Corrupt and Lawless Police Agencies I have ever seen, The vast majority of Simi Cops are just plain CRIMINALS, and I used to live in the San Fernando Valley before that.
