Mike,
I read your story with interest, as a retired state policeman, I can honestly say I'm totally disgusted with the properyty laws and their state of enforcement. The first problem is the legislators are enacting laws that serve lawbreakers intrests and feed money into attorneys coffers. This is not surprising as most of the lawmakers are attorneys, but then, they were voted into office by people who should know better.
Second problem is welfare, it has been my experience that most of police work, about 85 to 90 percent, is caused by those on welfare. They don't have to work and therefore have time to go out at all hours committing illegal acts, the state will even give them extra money to pay fines when thay are arrested. If the welfare system were totally halted the incidence of and costs of crime would fall drastically. Thirdly, children today are not disclipined because their parents, who were raised by parents who were largely undisclipined themselves. I have seen instance after instance when parents were arguing that their criminal children should be let off and then complain when someone elses children do the same thing to them. I understand that most of these people don't come from country families, but nontheless, still have to be dealt with by rural folks. There really aren't any good answers to the problem, using an implied threat such as Mark Hendershot uses is a good response, the best thing is to contact the police, realizing they're rarely going to get there in time, and to make a photographic record of the criminal. When one understands that 3% of the police make 95% of all arrests then one realizes why they might not be in a hurry to come to your aid. I was proud to bew one of the 3%, but since my retirement am totally disgusted that this ratio is allowed to exist. Like I said, no answers just more questions. Mike
