You won't get "briefly detained and released the next day" if you're caught doing the same thing every other night. And the sentence you receive in the end will be far more severe than if you only committed the one initial offense. Penalties and fines will likely erase any money you made on other nights. And oh maybe an investigation is opened to find out who has taken all these scooters, now that 50% of the time you don't get caught in the act means little seeing that you're just getting caught after the fact.

- mywittyname 3y agoAssuming the police care -- which is unlikely unless you're important. More and more, it feels like police largely care about crimes that generate revenue for them, so drug & (select) traffic enforcement. And the odd harassing people if a venue hires them for "security" at $250/hr. Letting "real" crime go is apparently a good way to get more funding for the department. Every time I go to vote there's another measure to increase local police funding, last time it was an off-cycle vote where that was the only issue (and the voting machine I put my ballot into showed 25 votes by 7pm).
- dogmayor 3y agoAgreed. PDs are rackets, and there is far too little interest paid to local government matters. But selective policing is on the police, not the prosecutors.
