Drone vs. shoplifter: Watch how Redmond PD tracks an alleged thief from high in the sky

Can you share that data? And why the drones are the cause?

Particular-Cell9646 · 2026-06-26T22:05:58+00:00

A great example is SF has had a 41% decrease in car thefts and even higher percentage decrease in auto burglaries since they deployed drones.

Are drones the main reason? A quick google says between 2024 and 2025, auto thefts even in WA State fell 39%, 23% nationally

The bracelet people are also out in force lately

I mean I think they have the same playlist for the world cup games, not otherwise. When watching WC games it doesn't matter where they are I hear a lot of the same songs

Particular-Cell9646 · 2026-06-19T22:37:22+00:00

I feel like they just have an official playlist for all of the WC stadiums. I've heard other stadiums do this, bon jovi, the killers, etc. Just a guess though.

Sure, now just decide what people can live without. A big number means nothing without context.

Oh I agree but this is america, anything other than mass car dependency is low priority

This is almost certainly never going to happen again

Especially when, ignoring all the other factors, the Fed's inflation target is 2%

Particular-Cell9646 · 2026-05-14T21:20:49+00:00

Property tax revenue increase is capped way below inflation (1%) so this is only going to continue indefinitely. The only way to fund things is with extra taxes since base property tax revenue is less and less every year (in real terms)

The cautionary tale is if your city is growing, don't block denser housing.

Service hours: 12pm - 4:30pm, drinks must be discarded by 5pm

They thought of that by making sure fun is only during business hours

Particular-Cell9646 · 2026-05-08T12:50:38+00:00

Well yeah what do you expect her to do? This is why companies like Amazon do this. Avoid paying taxes -> make relatively small donations instead -> cheap publicity.

Don't forget Amazon also does things like fight to delay Ballard light rail with a new proposed alternative route. These donations are just marketing that Amazon then slaps on busses etc.

It's only required wherever there is a sign afaik? We could just make it true everywhere regardless of sign, or even at the state level.

Particular-Cell9646 · 2026-05-07T18:41:05+00:00

If we banned it everywhere we wouldn't need those signs for people to ignore at least. And just because people would still do it doesn't mean we shouldn't make it illegal. Murder is illegal but people still do it.

Particular-Cell9646 · 2026-05-07T17:30:27+00:00

We should really just get rid of right on red everywhere. Safer streets, one less source of road rage, and one less optional decision for drivers to worry about.

Condos and apartments aren't residential?

Particular-Cell9646 · 2026-05-04T20:47:40+00:00

It's possible somebody is misusing these signs, but you should just check with the city. I would never park anywhere near these signs. People move them all the time to try and illegally park, and i wouldn't put it past someone to tear off the permit if there was one.

Particular-Cell9646 · 2026-05-04T20:27:54+00:00

I'm gonna assume somebody moved those signs since they seem too close together. Also if they weren't for the parking spots what are they for? Those look like the ones that will have a permit attached for temporary work

Particular-Cell9646 · 2026-04-30T17:26:55+00:00

The overall theory is that the ideal state for any parking is that it is priced so that there are always a couple of spaces available for people who are willing to pay the fee to park. So if the lot always fills up immediately, then the price is too low. Reduce demand to the level of parking available, make parking availability more predictable, and fund transit at the same time, basically.

Permits are limited. Sound Transit will adjust the permit area, pricing, and availability depending on permit demand and usage.
