I was surprised when they started an actual investigation when some idiot slashed my and my neighbors tires.
Apparently my neighbor heard the guy shouting "Fucking foreigner" (we both had foreign registration plates at the time) or something similar and reported it. Apparently, that moves the crime into the hate crime category and warrant extra police work. So even though I didn't report the slashing, the police came to my place to gather my version.
Overall same result though and I wasn't really expecting any result to be fair.
- sago 12y agoYes, as I understand it, police authorities allocate resources for categories of crime based on national and local policing priorities. If your low-priority crime (like criminal damage) can somehow be placed in a higher priority category (like hate-crime), the police will find it much easier to allocate resources to it, and you will see a more spirited investigation. My original point was merely to say that there are such things as low-priorities for which the police don't put much effort, and by doing so they set a precedence for what crimes one could reasonably expect to get away with.
