Until there's real consequence they will not be moved.

Yet more evidence that automated traffic enforcement works and should be more widely deployed throughout the city.

You have zero right to privacy in the public realm, a legal precedent that's been well established. You don't have a right to drive a car, nor a right to break speed and other traffic laws.

Your equating of automated traffic enforcement as being equal to a police state is just absurd.

Fucking lol what a dumb take. Speed cameras are doing literally everything you want the city to do other than elect better leaders. They avoid the problems with a police state that comes from having the police arbitrarily enforcing laws rather than objectively. To get the same effect the cameras have with actual police the city would have to hire thousands of new cops and put them at every corner of the road.

Enforcing traffic laws with cameras isn't 1984, and if you think that they are you have no idea what a real police state looks like.

City officials don't give a shit about it because they'll be reelected regardless.

As for a successful model to follow just look across the Atlantic to Europe. Portugal and the Netherlands have in my opinion the most effective programs, which are based on contingency management.

All US proposals function solely as injection sites. They "offer" help to addicts to connect them with treatment sources however; there is no legal requirement for addicts to use those treatment resources, nor the funding even if they did, nor any consequence for refusing them.

So in practice they effectively just enable addicts, while dressing up the dangers of drug abuse with a veil of safety, and turning the area they're in into an open air drug scene, further blighting the community.

Harm reduction is only meaningfully useful when you have the other major pillars of contingency management in place. Just viewing harm reduction in itself as a solution or helpful in any way is delusional, and is not born out by the data.

It's just another inconvenient fact about why an SIS in isolation, rather than as part of an actual contingency management program, doesn't do much other than further blight the location its in.

Which the organization composed primarily of bored Mainline idle upper class socialites will continue to ignore, along with the Inquirer who will never run an opposition piece or disclose their massive conflict of interest with it.

OK, but how long do you think he should have been in jail, how long would be long enough in your view?

OK so a 17 year old boy in high school dating a 15 year old a grade below him should immediately break up the second they turn 18 even though nothing else changed or risk being labeled a sex offender for life, because you think it's now automatically creepy. That seems totally reasonable.

OK so to play devil advocate, how long is long enough in your opinion?

That's a shame, liked them.

> 80-90s were worse in Philly. 500 a year.

Thanks proving you don't know how to do math. There was only 1 year in that time period where homicides hit 500.

In the 80s it averaged 351

In the 90s it averaged 411

in the 2000s it averaged 340

in the 10s it averaged 304

in the 3 years of 20s its averaged 525

If we just want to look at Krasners term in office 2018-present its averaged 457 a year. Other crime stats are also up at by dramatic amounts, such as car jacking, and retail theft, worse than those average rates in the 90s.

Expect he has a track record of getting slapped down by judges for lying or just straight up trying to rewrite laws.

Different user, I'd didn't say they didn't cover it.

The issue is that he lied in court, which is why he was reprimanded by the judge, the issue that the other user was alluding to.

I don't give a shit that a circle jerk of mostly 20 something suburbanites don't like my factually verifiable comments.

And in other posts ragging on Philly I do defend the city, and frequently demand better for it. Which also doesn't change that my easily verified post history in the sub is primarily not about crime, but that would be an inconvenient fact for your lame personal attack.

Doesn't change the facts that Krasner, along with Kenney have been a fucking disaster. Blindly supporting a fuck up like Krasner because Harrisburg doesn't like him doesn't make him any less of a fuck up.

Or you know instead you could look it up, since it actually happened.

Federal judge: Philly DA Larry Krasner’s office misled court while trying to free a man from death row

And this wasn't the only time he got reprimanded by judges for bad conduct.

They were not, love it when people post stupid comments that are easily verified.

Philly had one year 1990 where homicides hit 500, thoughout the 80s they average below 400. The 90s were worse but still below 500 homicides a year averaging just over 400 a year with 1990 being the worst year and overall decreasing heading into the 2000s.

2020, 2021, and 2022 have been all time highs for homicide in the city's history, shootings have also continued to increase every year.

Turns out being soft of guns is a bad idea.

What a fucking joke of a comment all my post are not about crime, an easily verified fact. I've also lived in Philly my entire life, double the time you've spent in South Philly, and not in the nice neighborhoods you're likely in.

But thanks for proving my prior comment about Krasners incompetent management of the DAO and failure to go after guns correct by trying to make a lame personal attack rather than addressing the actual facts, how very Trumpian of you.

To see a competent reformist DA look no further than Jack Stollsteimer in Delco, who unlike Krasner has actually accomplished the goal of reducing homicides and shootings, while diverting people out of the criminal justice system.

Chester has been a profound success at focused deterrence. Meanwhile in Philly were setting new records for violent crime.

When a serious contender decides to run he'll be gone.

He only won his first time by being in a crowded primary and getting a lot of donors from outside the state. The second time was because Vega wasn't a great candidate, and even then his percentage of the electorate was abysmal. Yet again he was entirely dependent on donors from outside the state, and that time he violated several campaign finance laws.

Wrong he very much has a direct role in preventing crime, and when he fucks up, which he frequently does, people die.

Suspect Was Released on Reduced Bail 2 Weeks Before Temple Grad's Murder

The cops suck, but that doesn't change the fact the under Krasner the DAO became a dysfunctional mess that stopped going after illegal weapons arrests, and continues to fuck up court cases by being repeatedly unprepared for them, resulting in violent offenders being released back on to the street where they go on to kill innocent people.

I love how Krasners biggest supporters are suburbanites who don't live here.

His failure to go after guns has directly fuelled the record setting amounts of homicide and shootings, not to mention his decision to not go after shoplifting, which has directly led to a dramatic increase retail theft.

They have been, they've made a record amounts of illegal weapons arrests, yet prosecution rates dropped under Krasner. Shockingly when you have a position on guns to right of the NRA like Krasner does, it tends to fuel a rise in shootings.
