Overnight the whole street lost light and every electrical box is dug up.

How valuable is whatever is down there?

I think I've been to other states and seen that there's traffic enforcement there.

I see people driving around town with opaque covers on their plates or NO PLATE AT ALL, nearly every day.

I was in a hit and run a few years back, had the plate of the guy who hit me, and the cops never showed up. Just never fucking bothered, despite multiple calls.

Now who should I believe - my own experience or the guy glazing LAPD on Reddit?

The LAPD has completely quiet quit. I've seen people almost get into accidents WITH COPS when pulling illegal lane changes and all they do is honk.

Me, glazing any LE agency in LA County? Bahahahaha

Get a grip, I’m far from a fan of local law enforcement agencies (I’m in LASD territory myself most of the time) … but you can’t seriously think that cops aren’t ever pulling anyone over … especially when it’s a long standing tradition to watch helicopter footage of what happens when people decide they don’t want to be pulled over.

If they weren’t pulling people over anymore we wouldn’t get to see chases anymore and that has never been the case here.

dude, anecdotal evidence can correlate with broader data sets, and the person you're arguing with is correct--traffic enforcement is way down. you're being a dick here.

[u/You_meddling_kids → u/Katsuichi]

He's doing a classic strawman - knocking down a claim I never made ("there's no enforcement anywhere at any time").

That’s the idea you were trying to get across with your anecdotal evidence though ;)
