Robert Quinn: Why fewer citations when so many more violations?
Illegal fireworks? I reported these on the July 3rd and 4th, but no response from the police. I was under the impression the police were on top of this, and yet they cited fewer violators than last year? It was like a war zone here. I even reported the exact address for one of these violators.
These people have no respect for their neighbors or for the police. I know this because I have dealt with these people. I tried to call in from 8 p.m. and the lines to the police department kept giving a busy signal. I finally got through about 11 p.m.
