  • I dont undestand why in my neigborhood dont stop the person in possesion of drugs in that momen when I report him. I call twice when they are doing transsacion. Please help me to stop this person.

    • Are you saying this criminal isn’t in jail anymore and is still selling in your neighborhood??? How is he out? They should not let repeat criminals like this have such a low bail amount. That’s ridiculous I’m sorry your having to deal with this wannabe thug.
