I think that indicates the SFMTA takes its job more seriously than the police since the police are supposed to arrest the vandals, not the transit agency.

Besides, is your argument really that b/c police & the DA may not be doing their jobs that that should mean other rules shouldn't apply? Dude parked illegally, got a ticket. Seems like justice.

Also, can you cite your sources on the DA allowing ppl to break into cars? Break-ins have been on the rise since 2016. Was Boudin in office 5 years ago? He's also proposed a fund to help reimburse victims while his office and the police work to fix the underlying problem.

BTW, how is the DA supposed to charge the perpetrators when PD only makes arrests in ~1% of cases?

Little lesson for you: The DA can't charge someone with a crime if they haven't been arrested for committing the crime w/ there being evidence connecting them to said crime. How do u propose he charge ppl for break-ins if they haven't been identified?

Of the thousands of reported car break-ins in the city over the years, police arrested someone roughly 1% of the time. Pretty tough to charge the other 99% if the DA's office doesn't know who they are or have evidence against them. The buck stops w/ the DA, but it begins w/ PD.

Last data I can find from 2017 --before right-wing pundits told you you hated Chesa & he was solely to blame for a problem that's been on the rise for over a decade-- said 57% of those arrests ended in conviction.

"Burglars have become so effective at evading capture that in 2017, of the 31,000 auto-burglaries which were actually reported to the police, arrests were made in less than 2 percent of all cases. It is impossible for the District Attorney to prosecute the remaining 98 percent."
