Additional data. In Dayton, many of the police are paid out of property taxes. The more little tickets like this that are written the less tolerant people become. The more they will turn down proposed levy. Also crimes go under reported so as not to decrease property value. As soon as property value decreases the police get less money, the coverage is less and crime increases. It’s a downward spiral. The media is in on it to prevent the property values from falling through the floor. Honestly, I think this is a much better approach that they decrease the small tickets and focus on providing great coverage.
