It's not possible to remove gangs while an incentive of huge unregulated and untaxed market exist. So committing police to that is like trying to fill buckets under a leaking pipe, instead of just cutting off water and fixing it.
- luckylion 6y agoYeah, let's just regulate and tax the market for stolen bikes. What do we do with people who don't follow the regulation and don't pay the taxes? Obviously we can't use the police, that'd be like trying to fill buckets under a leaking pipe.
- varispeed 6y agoI wanted to say that police focuses on gangs rather than tackling thieves and recovering bikes. But more important would be to change the law so that bike theft is not profitable. For example if someone made X on selling such bikes, they should get custodial sentence so that if you spread X over the years of sentence it will be lower than minimum wage.
