> Known bike thieves carrying a bike while riding another - nothing done.
your choice not to use the word convicted but instead known strikes me as really interesting.
So your argument is that the police should focus on enforcing your perception of order despite the fact that the social contract (and the law is a social contract) has been changed because the populace viewed the existing version to be structurally racist and unfair?
Not to mention this has nothing to do with a police officer's failure to act. The 'one party' that has fought for the police to not be legally required to enforce the law is not the 'one party' you are referring too.

Convicted yes. Known - arrested over a dozen times for such in one case. Santa Cruz mostly doesn’t give tickets or cite in cases of misdemeanors these days given nothing is done.
