Yes, that is the norm in every place in the world. But I do agree that leaving valuables in your car is leaving you open to the possibility that you're going to get robbed. Better safe than sorry. Also if your laws work as they are intended, with police enforcing those laws as they are meant, then robbery shouldn't be a problem and we wouldn't be having this conversation.
oh please, even sometimes we find a way to screw up the death penalty. Nothing is perfect or works as intended. People break out jails all the time; pedos get mistrials, people get shot over traffic violations.
It would seem that way for the majority of you in the west, but if your laws work as intended in this case, working or serving it's function enough that it would deter the greater majority of the people from stealing, then cases of robbery and theft would be minor. Law is giving a semblance of order in an otherwise chaotic society.
Robbery and Theft exist in Japan and Singapore, and these countries are very peaceful, but you don't see robbery and theft so prolific, like L.A, in places like Tokyo, Singapore, Yokohama, Osaka etc. Do you?
If the laws are not working and the people enforcing those laws are corrupt then it is the people who is at fault for letting these acts of tyranny exist for they are not taking measures to prevent them or holding the people accountable. Your rights then would only exist on paper.
If you no longer trust or have confidence in your laws, which is the medium by which your government and your president, President Biden, who was elected by you the people, to govern you; then why are you still allowing your government to... govern you :/
You know, that's a good question on the face of it. But the issue in this post in particular is not the US. It has nothing to do with Biden, the feds, no effect on Texas, Tennessee, or Virginia.
Ask California and LA and Portland why they tolerate "leaders" who value criminals over them. I don't care what happens in Cali, really. But I'm terrified of it coming to my neck of the woods. Because as an American and a veteran I would not live like that. I would not tolerate a system stacked against the good and innocent to favor the wicked.
It sucks cuz the actual land of cali is amazingly spectacular. It truly is one of a kind... and then they gotta go fuck it up. At least most of the cops are chill. The cops are more chill than most the neighbors I had while I was there. Then you have people born there that all act like pretentious assholes. Those people are worse than "woke" celebs.
