street racing in Dallas is a very low-priority call.

DPD has not patrolled traffic enforcement for years on major highways, and use to have a no Chace policy on motorcycles. I believe the no chase was repealed a year or two ago when they started having huge bike meets and the swarm would roll up on a cruiser and break the mirrors off in traffic to keep souvenirs

The irony of them being ex copcars is just too much

If the perp can't afford to pay a fine then no citations will be written. That's the real issue with police and law enforcement today. If a bunch of Anglo kids did this in the park cities you'd have fines, impounded cars, lawyers and court dates... Cha Ching! Anyone telling you it's not about money is a liar.

It was all fun and games until they closed those flood gates though.

Let's make Regal Row street races great again!

LOL! My first thought as well.

Yeah it was, when cops would simply show up, turn their lights on and everyone move to a different place. It was especially entertaining when at least one idiot would take one for the team, lose their shit and the cops would chase after them.

Possibly the most uninformed statement you have ever made. I mean, not like Dallas is not down a couple of officers. Not to mention if someone calls in saying a car is burning off in the intersection it would not be a priority call.You could probably even actually street race in Dallas and would never see a unit. Sometimes they are hours behind on non priority calls.

Also, where I work, we absolutely give zero shits about citations. We like contacts and community service. There are many cities out there that go either direction so blanket statements really don't work.

Andddd apparently you don't watch the news! You are saying the complete opposite of what they report.

Consider the user....

LOL. Copblock?

We actually had copblock show up the other day. When it was all said and done he wrote the Chief a letter telling him how polite and well trained our dept was. I always wondered if they were just hostile or if you acted semi normal around them they would be different. Now I know.

Looks like Dallas is rapidly following in Chicago's path. The mayor and city council are to blame for DPD and DFD's problems.

[naynay]

being dallas and chicago are pretty much sister cities that doesnt surprise me.

the thing is, it is not a profession anyone wants to pursue anymore, and those who do, do it for all the wrong reasons (generally speaking).

i think i have said this before but the police need to come from the neighborhood, and remain a part of the neighborhood the way it used to be. there is no way in hell some white dude from hood county is ever going to relate to the citizens in that part of town. but when DPD is starting off at $27/hr vs. Uncle Jimmy's wrecker service, you start getting a bad mix of regular every day joes interacting, who all at the end of the day just wanna make it back home.

I used to see hood rats doing this shit all the time on Buckner.
