Seized property should be held in a neutral escrow account until the case is adjudicated, and then automatically returned to the victim if they are not convicted of a crime within a reasonable time.

Trumpists: "Good! We don't want none of them furriners in our country, and we sure as hail don't want to visit theirs."


The biggest issue where I live (Philadelphia) is the plague of motorcycles and cars with exhaust systems deliberately altered to maximize the noise generated. The police won't do a damn thing about it. Most people seem to accept and even defend this situation with one of the following retorts: 1. With all the murders and other crimes, the police should not be wasting time on this. 2. That's just how cities are; if you don't like it, move to the suburbs. 3. Kids are just having fun, Karen!

Embarrassing.


I don’t know why this comment is being downvoted. The website is indeed extremely embarrassing to anyone who thinks government is a serious business.


One helicopter is loud enough to be heard miles away. Imagine the sky full of thousands of these vehicles! This is a nightmare that needs to be nipped in the bud.
