So you want more traffic on your commute and you're willing to pay for it. Real genius stuff.

Hogan oversees MDOT MTA, who run the metro system. He is responsible for cutting the budget, forcing deferred maintenance, as well as vetoing the legislature's attempts to fund deferred maintenance. So yes, he is directly responsible for conditions that lead to things like derailment.

It's not particularly skeezy. Mostly folks trying to get to work and home. See this video for example, where strangers band together to help each other exit the derailed car.

100% agree, that's why it's stupid as hell this much better use of space costs significantly more for businesses than car centric permitting.

Way to make it more expensive than using the same space for valet 🙃

I literally witnessed someone forcing another person into a car screaming for help and approached an officer across the street who told me he was busy getting coffee. But you think they'd do something with this vague info. You're deeply naive.

Yes, statistically they are less likely to re-offend if they are handled in the juvenile system. Longer sentences and even the death penalty do not dissuade violent crime, in fact they're correlated with greater violent crime. In the time you wrote this lengthy comment, you could have read a literature review on this subject.

Call BPD and tell them someone in a ski mask called an Uber, pointed at it, and whispered, reporting the username, time, and location, and tell me how that goes for you.

I don't think that's what they mean since that's what OP said and they replied implying OP was wrong and we should do something different.

Evidence definitively proves you wrong. I'm not sharing opinions, I'm sharing facts based on extensive peer reviewed research. You are simply wrong. It's basically like you're calling the world flat.

It's extra disappointing because what you're calling for (charging and incarcerating youth as adults) is proven to cause higher rates of recidivism, which is exactly opposite the end goal.

Call BPD and tell them someone in a ski mask called an Uber, pointed at it, and whispered and tell me how that goes for you.

Nobody is normalizing this shit. It's terrible. But you brought a cost benefit analysis into it with your comment, and we know through the science of brain development kids can't make decisions in the same way adults can. It's frankly why youth crime is so terrifying, because it's so unpredictable.

Over here thinking children make rational, logic based decisions

Lol what the fuck does this mean

Yes, your sentence explains why, as they are not in fact adults.

Edit: if you downvote this, you don't believe in science/evidence and support systems that make youth offenders more likely to commit future crimes; congrats on being a dumbass that supports creating exactly more of what you're mad about.

Baltimore keeps electing dumbass clerks of court when it shouldn't even be an elected position and here we are.

You spent a whole lotta time proving yourself a hypocrite.

You're the one that brought up your computer made in Oregon that sounds like it's not made in Oregon.

Do you own a car? That's discretionary and it definitely has products inside of it manufactured by factories benefiting from forced labor in China. This isn't a whataboutism as much as it is a comment on your stupid statement.

100% of the parts of your computer were made in Oregon? Wild

The boot of proven methods to increase road safety while reducing law enforcement interaction with citizens? I'll eat the whole boot yes.

They don't boot or tow for ATVES tickets. Your experience here is wrong if you are claiming that, and I'd like to see your boot or tow evidence.

License and plate renewals going through despite owed tickets is new as of the pandemic. If your experience predates that, fair. Otherwise again, it's state policy and you're wrong.

Edit: This fuckin sub, I'm being downvoted for factual statements replying to a deleted comment

Are you implying cyclists and scooter users break traffic laws at higher rates than motorists?

Bad takes 101

Baltimore City does not boot for 3 or more unpaid speed or red light camera citations because they lack state authority to do so for anything but parking tickets and these are technically moving violations.

And the state will indeed let you renew your registration without paying automated enforcement tickets.

We also lack reciprocity with neighboring jurisdictions, so people are illegally titling vehicles in Virginia and just doing whatever they want.
