I smile when I see a lot of people say that the police in their area can't be bothered with minor crimes, because it makes me realize how nice it is to live in this area. We just had our dairy week, complete with a carnival. Well, apparently one of the carnies slept in and got left behind.

Pretty much everything that happens makes it into the newspaper, including tickets that are issued. Note the nearly 5 hour gap between problems. Our newspaper is weekly, the police average about 4 or 5 things a day, including tickets. I'll post some more later today; my late morning coffee is done, time for outside again.

The police here like to shoot people in the back, then give them tickets for polluting the street with their blood. <3

I grew up in a small town in upstate NY. The only time the deputies ever drew their guns was after somebody hit a deer with their car and it wasn't dead yet. Beyond that, they deal mostly with traffic violations or teenagers being stupid.

I got in an accident once in town because a lady didn't look and pulled right in front. Inside 5 minutes there were three deputies there, one was taking statements, one was directing traffic, and one was coordinating the clean up. 15 minutes after the accident the road was completely clear of any sign of the accident, the cars were towed off to wherever we wanted, and the accident report was pretty much done. They even offered to give anyone involved a ride home but we both had already called family members to come pick us up.

Here in AZ you've got to beg and plead for cops to show up to an accident. :rolleyes:

Irvine, CA police department has to be one of the best funded in the entire country. I've seen their "Accident Investigation Truck" or their "Rapid Traffic Control Unit" or their Paddy wagon, haha.

But yeah, I have some pretty ridiculous ones from college that I can remember off the top of my head:

Man calls to report pizza stolen from fridge, report taken.

Woman calls to report large cat-like animal running around a parking lot

Woman calls to report she was talking to her daughter via cell phone and the connection was lost, requests a welfare check.

Collegetown police blotters are awesome. I wish I could remember the choice ones from my own over the years. The only one I can remember was that some guy woke up and found something like 3 or 5 jukeboxes on his lawn.
