- tpmx 5y agoIn my experience, the willingness of the police to do that seems very random. Kinda regardless of country/region.
- ChuckMcM 5y agoThis seems so sad to me.
- sneak 5y agoThe police in the USA are not particularly incentivized to solve small crimes that aren't against large landowners or large employers. They exist to serve the ownership class, primarily, and to generate revenue for the local municipality. They aren't even legally obligated to protect people or enforce laws.
- kkielhofner 5y agoSeveral years ago I lost my iPhone and tracked it using Find my Phone to a house. I called the Sheriff's Department and they sent a deputy to the address reported by the device. My understanding was they actually went so far as to say something along the lines of "hand over the phone right now or we'll call for a warrant, search the house, and arrest you for grand theft". About two hours after calling I drove down to the Sheriff's office and they gave me the phone. I couldn't believe it.
