“They have insurance” is unfortunately a common phrasing in defense of cities not enforcing the law. You do realize insurance cost will increase the more it’s used.

How about the city just doesn’t let criminals run rampant? From what it seems, they are barely trying and they have a DA that refuses to play ball anyways.



yeah isn't insurance costs based on a risk assessment? Insurers aren't in the business of giving away money.

edit: people will only put up with it for so long and then you'll have vigilante squads running around which is a much more dangerous and expensive problem than just enforcing existing law
