1st off this isn’t a commentary on the police themselves, ik ive a bit of reputation for not being their biggest fan round these parts. More of a commentary on the current political and social climate of living in the big city.
Lived in Marion county for 3 years now, called into dispatch via 911 or 311 a total of I think 3 times now.
1st time several years ago I watched a literal shootout between road raging cars, dispatcher asks if I got license plates and when I said no they pretty much said “what do you want me to do about it” , idk see if you have any cops close by and send them ?
One call into 911 was for trespassing, had to do with contractors working behind my house insisting they could drag men and equipment across my yard. They weren’t working on my yard or but hey it was the easiest way for them because of fences where they were working. After about a 45 minute standoff dispatch calls back and asks if the problem is still going on.
Latest one is calling on a neighbors barking dog. Dog is left out for hours late into the night all the time. Call into 311 after 10 pm for a noise complaint and the dispatcher asks me if I want the number to the mayors action line. No I don’t want the number, I want you to send someone to shut this sh** down because 10pm is the cutoff for noise complaints. I relayed that this wasn’t a one off thing, long and short of it dispatcher literally hung up on me.
So if inside of Marion county your on your own, the law only exists the come and do reports after the fact- CMV
