    Want to get rid of security cameras? This is how.

      I don’t know, this sounds like what they do in London.

      Edit: I’m not saying that’s a good thing, I’m saying it didn’t get rid of cameras. It increased their numbers vastly.

        do they have access to private video cameras in London or are those all government cameras?

          I don’t think they have access to private cameras, but why would they need them when there are government cameras literally everywhere? I don’t know if you’ve been to London, but there are cameras on virtually every light pole. There are literally tens of thousands of government surveillance cameras in the UK.

          This is not an unusual sight:

          If they can’t access private cameras, they will add so many public ones that they aren’t necessary. It’s a bigger problem than just access to private cameras.

            I’m not actually against public security cameras. I think London is a bit much, but hey—they caught that crime.

    So Ring shuts down their free access, not even two months ago, and they want to force it again somehow? Without a warrant?

    Correction: this is an article from before Ring changed the policy.

    I honestly don’t see why anyone would want to be an LA cop.

    It’s harder than being a cop pretty much anywhere else and everyone hates you, even the people you’re trying to protect.

    I would just say the city can burn if they love crime so much, which they clearly do.

          The point is there’s actual deputy gangs in LA. The cops are corrupt.

          That they’re doing a poor job of “trying to protect”. They’re the threat that people need protection from.

              Did you miss the whole ‘gang members are cops’ thing in the article someone pasted to you? Weird, because they quoted a relevant sentence and you responded to it.

                Gangs are the ones that justify cops’ existence, though. Without cops, gangs will just have their way with everyone like they do in Mexico and did in El Salvador.

                We experimented with not having cops in CHAZ and gangs started killing people very quickly.

                I’m going to block you by the way. You keep following me around and replying to all of my comments adnauseam with useless information. It’s very weird.

                Goodbye.

      Weird, because Los Angeles isn’t in this list of the 25 most dangerous cities in America.

      You must have been thinking of Memphis, Tennessee or Albuquerque, New Mexico.

      They don’t want to protect us bro. That’s why everyone hates the LAPD. Imagine being the victim of a crime and being laughed out of the station. Or getting robbed, and waiting 45 minutes for someone who literally doesn’t give a shit to show up.

      Also, as someone pointed out, the only thing they do about gangs is form their own.
