For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
You can't convince people to do their job with logic when they just don't want to do their job. After minorities, the thing cops hate most is doing their job.
WRONG! After minorities, it's poor people. Then doing their job. :P
Come on, don't disparage our hard-working Boys in blue. Without police who's going to come to your house to take notes about the crime that you have sufficient evidence to prove, and even have a likely suspect for, and then never follow up?
I assume he doesn't have access to it. He just knows there's a camera pointing at the place where his bike was stolen, and that the police have access to the footage.
They might not know when in the footage it happened
It might also be a matter of getting a directive from their management not the care, because there's not enough cops to go around for the 'important' stuff.
They don't want to waste their limited time for simple property theft, which is ironic considering that's what police are supposed to be doing (stopping theft).
The answer would be then to hire more police, but unfortunately that would mean higher taxes for the citizenry, and that seems to be a hard glass ceiling.
Wrong
The police exists to protect the status quo. Try overthrowing any immoral law or legally but immoral behavior and you'll see how efficiently they move about.
Before handing out life advice maybe try it IRL and see how it goes. It's kinda fun.
I tried being born rich but it didn't work this time around. Maybe next re incarnation?
No, the police just don't want to do any work. In my hometown you can't get the police to do shit unless you are a black man who "fits the description" or "smells like weee" then they will gladly try to make your death look as much your fault as possible.
More police wouldn't cost more money if they stopped buying tanks.
