Here's another example of crime and the subsequent lack of proper police response. This involves the Gresham police.
One recent afternoon I heard a car pull quickly into my driveway. I watched as the driver got out and started for my front door. I did not know this person and he seemed to be anxious to leave his car. He then turned back towards his car and a Gresham police car immediately pulled up blocking the exit of the strange car in my driveway.
Two more police then arrived. The driver of the strange car in my driveway and his passenger had done the following:
1. Attempted to elude the police.
2. Initially lied and told the police that my house was their residence (it's not!!)
3. Neither driver or passenger had a driver's license, proof of insurance, or proof that the car they were driving was legally their car. The police did not have the car towed. I thought that was the law under these circumstances. The suspects were not arrested, nor were they cited. Because the suspects convinced the officers that "a friend was going to tow their car", the police left the car parked in the street. The police left my neighborhood and the suspects waited 30 minutes then drove off in their car once again. What the hell kind of "policing" is this?
