- JumpCrisscross 1y agoOne, yes, the separate charge of civil tax fraud is not tax evasion and is not a crime. Two, the IRS is a civil agency. It can only bring civil actions, even against alleged crimes. The DOJ, on the other hand, takes criminal referrals. (We tend to see civil siblings to criminal counterparts across our body of law.) Going back to OP’s question, when people refer to a high-crime neighbourhood, they aren’t talking about parking violations.
- jeffbee 1y agoYeah, that's my point. It's not a neutral point of view. Unlawfully operating cars is the most widespread and impactful behavior in SF, followed by wage theft, tax fraud, and tenant harassment. And all the other stuff that gets discussed as "crime" is in 4th place or lower.
- JumpCrisscross 1y ago> Unlawfully operating cars is the most widespread and impactful behavior in SF If you think you can convince your fellow citizens to criminalise parking tickets, go for it. I doubt it has that much support. (But I don’t doubt that confidently!)
