[quote=Anonymous]There's nothing entertaining about this senseless death or the fact that car crimes go so undeterred in th District. Our car was stolen a few years back and you'd be shocked at how little the city cares - the video surveillance is for tickets not for car crimes, the parking people don't talk to the impounding people who don't talk to the police (by talk, I mean their systems for tracking license plates don't talk). It's left to the citizen to track down their own vehicle and/or sort it out with insurers. Some steps have been taken such as re-standing a car theft unit and FINALLY coordinating more with MD and VA, but they need to use cameras and license plate readers far more effectively. As to deterrence, our city council needs to address youth "rehab" laws. Apparently no one is being actually "rehabbed". Where is the accountability and follow up for outcomes on these "second chance" programs? I'd like to see the Council, Allen Silverman et Al, actually look at what happens while these car jackings kids are in the system and create some wickets for them to be released to the public again, with much greater supervision and conditions.[/quote]
