LICENSE PLATE CAMERAS
Nothing discourages out of city criminals more than a plate camera
Well advertised and police near freeway exits for alerted plates
Simple
Although sanctuary demifornia won’t allow them in their prime looting cities because the dems want crime to create need for them and compliance of dem policies and taxes
So too bad the fleecing will continue at your own expense actually lol
Enjoy your utopia you voted for these people lol
Enjoy or rather hide and maybe you’ll survive the political sarcasm of sanctuary policy in the dem reich
Still can’t believe you voted for this to happen to us wow
Then how do you explain the Conservative States that have far worse crime statistics than California?
Lamorinda has had license plate readers for YEARS. It doesn’t stop crime, but it assists law enforcement after the fact. Somewhat anyway. It’s not unusual for criminals in Lamorinda to be using paper plates, stolen plates and stolen vehicles.
License plate cameras hasn’t deterred crime in Lamorinda at all, but I’m glad we have them. Nothing will deter criminals in any area that are determined to commit crimes. It’s what they do for a living.
Easy there, Alex Jones~
Why don’t you ask Chief Aldritt whether or not he blames Democrats when you go to the meeting on Wednesday.
I’m sure the entire Lafayette Police Department will be rallied to take up arms against the Democrats after your rousing speech.

Nothing says knee-jerk like someone pointing the finger.
I think Random is on the right path. I don’t really think that having cameras and signs will deter too many people (because criminals don’t care or can’t read). What the readers will do is make solving the crime much easier for the PD. That’s the real deterrent. Lock enough of these bozos up and word will get out to avoid that area.
Cameras do nothing more than provide ‘after’ incident viewing. LPR is great when the car is not stolen or plates covered/removed.
Until we stop the insanity of the left not enforcing crime, you can expect more of the same, and it getting much worse. Look at Pelosi’s home district. Need more example of what is headed our way?
Oh, I don’t know Rob – perhaps because those states still charge criminals with crimes?
Crime spreads like a disease. When surrounding communities do not enforce laws, it’s only a matter of time until more unsuspecting people are affected in their “safe” communities.
Remember this when it’s time to vote.
Well said
I agree random but the question is do you think the solution is going to be done with voting or other means? Because there’s a monopoly here in terms of the power structure politically and it’s major league corrupt. Anybody know what happened to (Jefferson) The area where they wanted to secede from California in Northern California why didn’t that go through?
There are still people in Northern California and Southern Oregon who are trying to make the State of Jefferson official but other than a state of mind I think it is highly unlikely for hundreds if not thousands of reasons. In 238 years of U.S. history, there have been only two cases where a new state was cleaved out of existing states’ territory (Maine in 1820, and West Virginia in 1863.) Nothing since. No serious attempts in modern times, though there’s been no end of idle chatter by fringe politicians looking to get some attention.
So we’ve gone for more than 150 years with state boundaries staying the same. What each new secessionist group discovers — once the thrill of making noise is over — is that forming a new state creates enormous headaches. To wit:
What’s your tax base? It’s bound to be a whole lot less than before, especially without any large cities or companies.Basic services require taxes.
Where are your prisons, universities, sports teams and other civic resources situated? It’s practically a certainty that you’ll have too much of what you don’t want, and not enough of what you do desire.
Are you — and your supporters — really in the mood to create a duplicate version of all the bureaucracy that a modern functioning state needs? You’ll need your own system for drivers’ licenses, appeals courts, medical boards, and a whole lot more. Getting this set up costs money, and the state from which you’re seceding isn’t inclined to make it easy. These are a few examples of the issues that would arise.
As these realizations sink in, the breakaway movements generally collapse into not much more than an occasional bumper sticker.
It gained enough signatures and then was taken off the ballot:

And yet so many states with the Highest Crime stats are in the Conservative States and far more dangerous than California.
You keep spewing this. Rather than say it, support it with facts/data. To just say so with nothing to back up don’t mean much.
For someone to bring up and expect others to go research, that is a Dem move and what’s broken in America and the Dems. Present facts not gossip. You will say TX/FL immediately counter with CA/NY. Be ready for others to jump in on your fact checking should you reply. Talk is cheap and too much of it.
Only thing for certain, CA state bird is being changed to the TURD Bird that where this state has gone with it’s leadership.
This isn’t rocket science. A quick internet search “crime rates by state” will get you the information. The states with the highest crime rates are: New Mexico, Alaska, Louisiana, Tennessee,
Arkansas, South Carolina, and Alabama. Lotta red states there.
The party running the state isn’t what determines crime rates.

Crime “stats” look great when criminals aren’t prosecuted for their crimes.
I’ll try to make the meeting. Not many will be happy about what I have to say.

Allow Open Carry.
Crime rate drops back to zero.
A discussion of recent crime in Lafayette and ideas for community involvement to augment crime prevention.
Unheard of in Concord. Why?

and who is the highest percentage committing the crimes ?
would love that answer ….
even though we know its not middle class such as your self and many others correct
If you’re really worried about the safety of you and your children, then profiling needs to happen. And anyone with half a brain knows who to profile. Your safety should be worth a hell of a lot more than someones feelings. police need to send a hard message that Lafayette has zero tolerance for these scumbags.. If you don’t get tough, then be prepared for more of the same.
Kind of have to agree to what RSD said
It’s a well lknown fact that a lot of Lamorinda residents will call the police if they see men of a certain culture. They do it daily, and law enforcement responds.
Property crimes are low priority to the police, but it’s taken seriously in Lamorinda. Crime is low, and people pay a lot of money for their homes, and a lot of money in property taxes. We’re well aware we live in an area where criminals come in to steal. Law enforcement will do “vacation drive-bys” if you’re on vacation. Residents talk about checking their cameras, and seeing LE drive by every day.
We’ve been doing all we can for years, but we’re right outside the tunnel, and thanks to BART and freeway access, Orinda and Lafayette get hit a little harder than Moraga. You can’t stop criminals from being criminals, but we’re doing what we can. What other cities have meetings like this?
Or like the cameras in Epstein’s cell.
