The police blotter for the richest towns in the Bay Area are pretty funny too. It's amazing that the police get called when someone's walking their dog without a leash.

who else would be called? That's why the justice system exists - to solve matters without resorting to feudalistic violence.

i dont live in US and it's only ignorant people who walk their dog off leash in residential neighbourhoods.

You call nobody. Or maybe your gossip buddy.
Then what enforces the rules? Someone has to enforce the rules. What is the purpose of a dog leash ordinance if there is no enforcement mechanism?

Damn right I call the police on quality of life infractions, the difference is I don’t try to settle it amicably first, since that’s a one-way ticket to becoming an infamous viral sensation like “Dog Leash Dan” or “Leashy Larry.”
