How hard would it be to plant a car with a camera and mic in it with police in an unmarked van a couple blocks away? It almost seems like they’re taking advantage of a lack of police effort in this area.
- mullen 9y agoNot only put a plant car out there, but put 20 of them out there with SMS notifications in them when the windows get broken. Wire camera's all over the thing and call the cops when the window gets broken.

A DA who correctly represents the people of SF doesn’t go after indigent defendants for minor property crime. A police chief or mayor who shares his constituents’ values doesn’t spend resources on arresting them.
