At least it doesn't manifest itself like elsewhere with the crime and homelessness.

The arrests for alcohol, either driving, domestics, or bar fights, out number those for anything else by a factor of 20:1.

Tradition. Beats 40 billion strobes at a trillion candlepower blinding everyone nearby at night.

And it makes them pretty easy to see a mile down the road, no hiding with the stealth pd signs and all the BS ''write a ticket'' light bars. If you aren't paying attention and get written up, well, you are probably from Ohio.

I believe they have very good pictures of him and his vehicle. Maybe blurred on purpose so he don't know they. Most PD have top of the line surveillance cameras everywhere.

I went to LSSU for a while in 98.  One of the guys in my dorm was from the Western UP.  Crystall Falls.  He was basically a drug dealer and said " I can get you any shit you want when I go home this weekend."  I didn't ask for anything in the first place so I remember finding it odd that he offered that info.  98 was a long time ago and the last time I was in the yoop for any length of time so I can't comment on how bad it's gotten since.  Lots of bored kids with nothing much to do and not much of a future to throw away in a lot of areas.

Most do have better quality images than they release publicly. When they show bank robbery pics on the news its a lower quality version than the actual hi-res detailed ones they really have. The authorities don't want to widely broadcast  just how good some of the camera systems are.

A bunch of High School kids burned an entire fleet of new radio cars (New York State Trooper vehicles) in the little town of Claverack, NY some 35 years ago.  You will still get pulled over for doing 3 over the 30 mph limit in this little town.  They don't forget shit like this....forever.  My friend and I would be wailing up the road at 4am to get to our deer stands pre-dawn and he would lay on the brakes HARD at the town line.  He'd turn his head and look at me and say "You NEVER speed in Claverack!"  And yes I have been pulled over there for going 33.  I've got shields and badges and cards and still got a verbal beating.  Thankfully no ticket but he abused me for 10 minutes..

More than likely it is going to go like this....


Cell tower geo fence check for parking lot....(not even a subpoena needed)...

List of phones within 200 feet of parking lot....

cross reference phone numbers, exclude PD numbers

Cross remaining numbers to current PD databases...

Check names with vehicle registrations for tan CRV....

Drive to suspects house and get in shoot out.

Total investigative time to ID suspect, 15 minutes....

In a weird way, I can respect this.

If your beef is with the police, take it out on the police.

Lots of fucking weirdos in the northwoods.

The general vibe among the men is: they like to hunt and fish, love guns, drink beer and party.  All the while, toeing the Union line, bitching about "The Rich", hating cops, and voting for Democrats thinking that they are "looking out for us working stiffs".  

Then there is the influx of REAL leftists..............a SHIT ton of them especially since COVID.

It's been an issue for quite a while - I used to see dumped meth cooking supplies while riding a 4-wheeler out in the woods fairly regularly - but it's become significantly worse in recent years.

It's different to be from a place and leave it vs. moving to another place. I understand that you'd miss it if you're from here.

I'm not from Michigan, have no connection to the place, and had no reason of my own to move here. I regret it, and I want to leave. We're here because my wife's family is here, and honestly - that was a bit oversold.
