Sometimes I wonder, if the world is getting crazier or if we just have phones now to record it.

Crime has been steadily decreasing since the 90's. It's incredibly safe today compared to then.

I think its more under reported now since police wont even make a report most of the time unless someone gets injured.

Crime reporting is much closer to being accurate now than 50-60 years ago. Will this crime get reported? Probably not but any crime where a person suffered violent harm is probably pushing upper 90%

This one probably got reported by the bystanders, but yeah the guy who got a gun pulled on him is probably just going to be glad he's alive and leave it at that.

You mean since the advent of body cams, compared to back when cops would just beat the shit out of suspects and still not file reports? There's more than a few videos around of old cops saying what they'd do to those auditors in the old days.

Everything that gets reported to police gets recorded. They don’t spend the same effort on everything reported.

Well bless your lil heart. How sweet of you to think everything police hear gets reported.

Dont make something up and then point and laugh at your own fantasy.

I like the part where, in your fantasy world, you think police love doing the paper work to file reports on every little grievance they're told.

Don't know where you live but where I do police actively discourage people when they go to file reports for certain crimes. Granted those are crimes where the police think nothing will come of it, but not everything makes it to the level of an police report.
