Sadly, the city Sheriff’s Office isn’t even much better

Costs are an indicator of scarcity

Don’t you understand? Aesthetics, neighborhood character, parking, and the status quo are far more important than making sure people have a place to live!

Yes, sheriff’s deputies have the power to address crimes that occur in their presence. That doesn’t change the fact that they are not the primary source of law enforcement services in municipalities. They can’t investigate crimes or respond to calls for service without meeting certain requisite conditions, such as a mutual aid agreement. The Superior Court has a body of case law explaining this.

Under state law they do not have general purpose law enforcement powers. They enforce warrants, security at the courts, and ancillary duties on Election Day. The Municipal Police Jurisdiction Act gives plenary law enforcement power to municipal police departments plus special-district agencies like universities or transit districts.

What agency issued the citations?

Try contacting your legislators in the General Assembly.

Quick, someone call Darrell Clarke! Rezone!!! Rezone!!!!

She had every right under Pennsylvania law to shoot, and people who said otherwise were talking out of their ass

Yeah, I vaguely remember reading that Fios tends to provision 10% higher than advertised just to be sure that they don’t get angry calls about the 1-2 mb discrepancy that happens when you run a speed test

PennDOT is fundamentally incapable of doing anything other than blowing billions of dollars on highway expansions that ultimately don’t reduce congestion

… I’m ashamed that I didn’t know this

They take credit cards on the train???

They are going to blow billions of dollars on KOP rail so they are clearly capable of spending money when they want to

There's not enough supply for housing in New York compared to demand, so people are moving to PA and essentially the same thing is happening all over again. Zoning laws artificially restrict the supply of housing and drive prices upward. People who want housing to be affordable but aren't willing to ever see their property values go down are holding a fundamentally impossible position.

Police have immunity and can’t be sued for not doing their jobs

I believe so

Darrell Clarke would rather let people get hit by cars than suffer the slightest inconvenience when driving to the corner store.

Complete this form and ask for the Police Criminal Complaint and Affidavit of Probable Cause for the case against the defendant. Include the docket number that starts with MJ-XXXXX-CR-etc.

Bring, fax, or mail the form to the Magisterial District Court. You will have to pay up to 25 cents per page for the copies. Let me know if this helps.

There’s also an app that will let you pay using your phone but it’s still in beta.

The screenshot from Kenyatta Johnson complaining about PPA ticketing cars illegally parked on the median perfectly encapsulates city government’s opinions about public transit

Philly has many problems, but having too many jobs isn’t one of them. I’m amazed how some people apparently hold both of the contradictory opinions that their neighborhood has seen too much disinvestment and that gentrification is ruining their community.

Anyone have an actual copy of the lawsuit?

Why would Larry Krasner do this? (/s)
