So you think they should be able to freely ride around like this? They should be allowed to not just break laws, but fucking laugh at them as they do it? Guarantee you won't be so laissez faire when its your property they destroy or people you know is killed by them. If they were joyriding to get from where they store it to a spot in the woods and wanted to fuck around that way, I'm sure we wouldn't care nearly as much, but these assholes are living with complete disregard for safety, law and societal norms. Hell, I've seen these assholes riding on fucking sidewalks and the bike trails... yknow places where people are leisurely walking, sometimes with headphones on. What do you think would happen to that person when they are hit by a 300 lb dirt bike going 30+?

It's not racist at all. The cost benefit analysis is that there would be a higher risk of property damage and loss of life to chase around vehicles that can almost literally go anywhere. The problem is that they don't track them down to their source. As I said before, they aren't keeping these things under their bed. There a couple of them I see in Worcester doing illegal shit that I also see parked plain as day on busy roads.

Can't they just use a helicopter to track these assholes? I know it's expensive, but what the fuck, someone is going to get hurt. I'm in Worcester and we have the same problem, just the other day someone whipped around me when traffic was stopped to allow an elderly couple to cross the road and the dickhead missed them by less than a foot; I'm pretty sure they would have died as they were both vey frail looking.

I understand not chasing them around in cars and even to go after one person, but they can easily track a group of them. Or how about offering up a reward to rat them out, obviously these shitheads have a storage spot. I'm sure some neighbor would love to snitch for a cash reward.

Yeah, I guess those two thoughts do kind of go against each other. What I mean is that they don't really go to your neighbors spaces until it gets to a level 10 infestation. If they can't detect heat or Co2 from a relatively small radius around them they just go dormant instead of hunting for food like ants would. So, well, I didn't bring them into that apartment, it did originate from my room. If we didn't open up that wall to look for that source and see what was obvious signs of an old infestation than it could have been pinned on me.

That incident happened in RI, so I can only speak to their laws which stated that in a single family house its the responsibility of the person renting to take care of it, but when its a multi-family unit the onus is on the landlord to fix it. I lived in a single family, so it was on us to fix it, but I had a baller landlord who helped me out by purchasing all the supplies I needed.

I had a bed bug infestation in a previous apartment that was from the previous tenants who had moved out 4 months prior. The landlord had some work to do so it sat vacant. We eventually traced the source to an electric outlet on the second floor.

They are a tricky animal, however what I learned was that they don't travel long distances so chances are if you have bed bugs you brought them in.

I don't see how its misguided to have a social worker working with a police officer who is dispatched to the scene of someone having a mental breakdown. While I agree we need more beds for the mentally unwell, there is nothing wrong with having someone properly trained in dealing with this population instead of relying on untrained police officers to respond to these types of calls.

Just a few weeks ago I had to have one of my clients sectioned and the cops who showed up were immediately... hmmm not aggressive but not kind in their approach and ended up setting the guy off even more. If I wasn't there to intervene it could have been worse, but instead I asked the person to go back into their apt and asked the cops to let me handle the talking, which they were more than happy to do. Eventually the person calmed down and came out and we all joked around while waiting for the ambulance.
