Dallas PD is a complete joke. Has been for years. You call 911 for an in progress theft and it takes AN ENTIRE DAY for a cop to show up, if they show up at all. I moved my business to Richardson bc I got so fed up with Dallas Police lack of doing fucking anything about crime.
Dude stop expecting a stranger to protect you. Get armed and handle your own. These cops today are useless and will more likely harm you than help you.
He's right about all of it. Police are useless in recovering stolen property. I've had two experiences with stolen vehicles in Fort Worth, the first was 41 years ago. The police couldn't be bothered. They told us to go look for it, when we found it, we called them, they told us to just drive it away. Good luck with that, the thief had the only keys. The second case they claimed was a "civil" matter because the thief was also a company employee. So they couldn't be bothered. Wouldn't even file a report despite phone calls and visits. Why, if you didn't know better, you'd almost think police have a symbiotic relationship with criminals.
Had a friend buy a old cab for some body parts from a guy and he found a old insurance card stuck in the glovebox and contacted the original owner trying to get a title instead of the bill of sale, found out it was stolen guy gave him investigators number in Houston he called investigators numerous times only got one call back and years later cab and body parts still in pasture have heard nothing since, cops are not there to protect anybody besides themselves
DPD is trash! my 85 monte carlo ss was stolen out of my storage friday evening, i reported it that night and i ended up finding it the next morning going in every apartment complex around the storage unit. I called them to let them know i found it out so they wouldnt pull me over thinking i stole it and they started questioning me as if i had something to do with it, made no sense why they were questioning me the way they were, so i told them you all can leave while i wait on the tow truck.
Back in the 80's I was a drilling superintendent for an independent oil company and had a bunch of drill pipe stolen. The sheriff, no help. The DPS, no help. Called the Texas Rangers (NOT the baseball team) and he came out and said, "I'll have something for you soon." THE NEXT DAY HE HAD THE PIPE, THIEF AND my gratitude!
Car theft = little to no help by police. You get pulled over for a tail light out, 5 OR 6 POLICE CARS SHOW UP AFTER PULLED OVER TO PULL YOU OUT OF THE CAR AND SEARCH YOU, YOUR PASSENGER AND YOUR CAR AND FISH FOR MORE "CRIMES" SO THEY CAN TAKE YOU, YOUR PASSENGER AND YOUR CAR TO JAIL AND GENERATE MORE MONEY AND PROMOTIONS FOR THE PD!! TELL ME IM WRONG!
@4:56 Why take all the risk? Answer: Camaro SS. Chevrolet is NOT making any more, therefore you have to fight to hold onto a Camaro SS while you still have one!
@@focussport What? Did I read something wrong? You said he should make an insurance payout, I said his insurance doesn't cover theft, you said it's still on him. What do you mean still? Have it be known I'm not the best at english and im hispanic
They don't ever really actively look for the cars. They just file reports when they're made. And do the real pursuing when something comes along that gives them a definite hard lead. Like those 1000 cases. If something happens in Burleson that the Burleson police make an arrest, like arresting somebody in possession of a stolen car, then Dallas will just add their cases info to the Burleson case. Those Dallas cops were never intending to track anything down in Burleson. They would only actively do something if the majority of those 1000 cases pointed to a common location in Dallas.
USA doesn’t have enough money to hire more detectives sorry citizens. Go find your stolen car yourself. They only have money to send to Ukraine and Israel.
Most stolen vehicles are recovered by regular patrol officers who may by chance happen upon the stolen vehicle or are actively looking for it in their spare time.
What the news reporters said at the end is the big issue. Yes leave the insurance to pay you off, but what happens when so many cars are being paid off to rampant theft, insurance rates go up! They’re already high enough as it is living here in Dallas
My neighbor reported his truck stolen. I found it on ACCIDENT AND THERE WASNT EVEN A REPORT IN THE SYSTEM!! After the owner had a case number and everything. Even hadmto wait 2 hrs from he dpd to come and even help
If there was a "case number and everything," then there was a report. Either you're using the wrong terminology or you've been mislead. Please go into further details so I can understand what you mean bro!
All I know is that I saw the truck and recognized it and called the owner. When he confirmed it was his license plate he started on his way and I called the cops and told them about how it was reported and given a number and I found it and they told me they had no report of it being reported eventhough the owner had a paper given to him about it...they told me to stay away from the truck so they can take fingerprints if needed. That's about it. Dallas pd is not the best... took 2 hrs to get there...
PSA: For those of you that don’t know, law enforcement in most major cities do NOT search for stolen cars. They merely stumble across them when their license plate readers signal them a car reported stolen. This applies to when cars are in motion in traffic and when the cars parked (most departments have Plate readers installed/affixed to patrol cars. LPRs are sometimes hidden in patrol car front bumper grill. Some are attached to the rear trunk). Don’t asked how I’ve learned this 😂.
This chief makes excuses, no wonder he is in charge. Covering up the lack of caring of his staff. If it was his or his family members' cars, he would use the force all out. Makes me sick!
The reason why he did it himself and not wait for insurance is cause we All can’t afford to just do that and get another car. Some of us are struggling and value of what we only have
DPD's typical response to vehicle theft is: "here is the incident number for your insurance claim." DPD has a dismal clearance rate of less than 10%. PS: Saying that your insurance will cover it is such an insulting claim by these two newsreaders. Why do you think that comprehensive rates are so high in Dallas? Auto theft in Dallas is a high reward, low risk criminal activity.
Well, are you willing to be a detective in a police station? Are you part of the defund / demonize the police then complain that they are understaffed? With 36,000 cars stolen in Dallas per year and 12 detectives, that is 3,000 per year per detective , 60 per week , 12 per DAY , Just how many detectives would you consider enough?
@@lilwane6 People were complaining even before defund the police. Most thefts aren't even solved and when you do find your stuff they won't even come help you. The whole system needs a reset.
Because it's a low priority to them only 9.3% of car thefts are solved. My friend got his car stolen last year cops told him to his face that they weren't going to look for it. They found it at a chop shop a month ago.
"we are responding to the problem" by telling the public to go respond to it yourself. "Do not respond yourself to the crime" yet they told him to respond himself. Clowns.
My boss got his car stolen from his date, he took her out on a date and while they were out she slipped him something and stole his car and police just took a report and he ended up taking my personal vehicle and found it about 4 hours later
Mad respect to him. I recently had something similar happen to me and had to track down one of my cars engines. Cops didn’t wanna do anything. Only person you can count on is yourself.
Honestly the only way for police to find stolen cars that they have used for years is your car being reported stolen. The minute they run the tag it comes up stolen. Other then that good luck finding it.
What did people say during the Summer of 2020 riots across the country when peoples homes, cars and businesses were being burned and looted? Oh yeah..."It's okay, they have insurance".
Sounds like he probably had liability insurance, aint no way full coverage wouldnt cover that. Either that or he elected not to get that coverage. They steal alot of those cars too.
Police tell you not to go do it. Ok... so if the police won't the victim will. Who's going to stop them. If you are not doing your job the people will do it themselves.
Police don’t recommend doing what this guy did. Let the criminal enterprises succeed while they collect your tax dollars as paychecks and sit at a desk.
Why you may ask? Because when the government fails to protect the people then the people have a right to protect themselves and each other. The very principle of the government is to protect the people and ensure basic rights and safety. The real question to ask is why have a government and why have a police force in Dallas if they're not going to serve the people?
That anchor at the end is part of the problem along with the police department. Our society is declining faster than my comments being deleted and censored..🤬
This advice is one of the problems with the country. The police and left want everyone to just be a willing victim that participates in the crime by doing nothing. When American men stopped going into the street to confront the problems, the wolf packs started to grow and increase their feedings. This trend started in the 90's and has grown to epidemic proportions. Now when a guy hears a problem on their street, they are too busy peeping out the blinds to fight for what is right and what is righteous. Good on this chap - he took a stand and refused to continue to be a victim, and he did it without bloodshed, though I am sure he was prepared for whatever resistance that may have been given. Politicians want us to be victims because it increases their power and their budgets. (60% of all crime is performed by the same 80% of criminals. The catch and release system of the judges and DA's only fortify their roles in government.) Choose not to be a victim if you are an able-bodied man.
In a bad economy, a job as a cop could be something that entices people to apply. The famous quote, "that's why it takes 2 years to get a cosmetology license, but you can make the through the police academy in 6 months...". It doesn't take long to become a cop. And the salary can be pretty good. But cops and their refusal to police themselves turns off people from ever considering becoming cops.
You can't expect cops to be quick about it, when they're busy waiting for someone to jaywalk... which of course requires at least a dozen officers in reserve.
Not saying ALL police depts are bad. But ours in our city is kinda OFF. I had an old & nasty bike that was stolen when I was 13yrs old, reported it stolen to police. Would you believe I was finally contacted by them 9 YEARS LATER?!?! They asked if I wanted to come down & collect my bike. I was already in my 20s and driving. Wth? LOL I just laughed an hung up.
For them to call you nine years later most likely your bike was involved in a crime with someone that used it to do something illegal. Your bike for the nine years was either hidden in someones home for years or sold from crackhead to crackhead for years. But for them to actually sit there and pin point it to you means they had to have dug deep,investigate about the bike and the person that was last with the bike.
If the victim was forced to do business in Burleson, and Arlington, I would be contacting those police departments as well. Theft may have occurred in Dallas, but the car was being stripped in one city, and parts being sold in another. He could have had several police departments on this case instead of just one. DFW is a big place, and if they can’t all work together, then you have no choice but go to each one individually.
I used to work for dpd they do nothing - most people had to track down their own car and even then they have to wait for forever for them to show up and they will try to push it off on the city they find it in
The car was probably chopped up within hours of it being stolen. It's hard for the police to do anything when criminals move so much quicker than they do.
