I’d also be curious to see if there is a correlation between increases in cost of living and different types of crime since so many staples like food are significantly more expensive than they were before the pandemic.
Is there any enforcement for criminals who live in voucher-based housing in terms of allowing them to have subsidized housing as tenants? We have a lot of crime around these complexes and it makes me wonder if we are enabling their illegal activity with our tax dollars.
For the decreases in reported crime, violent and not violent, how much of these decreases is due to not reporting crime that would have been reported in previous years?
Regarding disabling vehicles, I can’t help but think of scenarios out of “Enemy of the State” where law-abiding citizens can become targets of those in power, whether by factions or other sources, and they can make up crimes or violations in order detain and imprison them. Maybe because they decide they don’t like someone, the person has different political ideologies, or they simply think it would be fun to target someone. Also, these systems could be hacked by foreign actors, could they not? Foreign actors could even target government officials.
