But consider that if you have 10 people steal 900 from you each month, you've lost almost 10k, which is not small potatoes


I'm not arguing that its small potatoes. It's a real issue and I agree it should be dealt with. My point is that despite what police union reps may say there is no law or policy, state or city, that prevents police for arresting someone who steals $900. They choose not to.


Because the DA won't prosecute, so why bother?
