Re: [Mpls] No more crime?

[j c harmon]

I live on the northside where crime (and blatant littering) run rampant. 
About two weeks ago Saturday I went out to run some errands. I noticed my 
front license plate was barely hanging on, but figured I had a rear one on 
and tossed it in the backseat.
I came home about 1-ish and didn't notice until I looked out later that one 
of our persons in blue had issued me a $75 ticket for failure to display a 
front plate! Musta been a slow crime day...

Pretty Clear-cut revenue producer running a ramp-light.  It's much more costly to apprehend drug dealers on the street corner.  Our judicial system doesn't impose a very stiff penalty on them.  Apparently, you're more of a "threat" running a red light than you are dealing drugs and toting a gun :)
