> Not in NYC.

That is now. NYC was famously crime ridden for at least a century. Today, just as in London, crime past a certain value or a non injury car accident, is not investigated.

Where does that come from? All of the US had high crime rates from ~1970s to 2000 (as a rough guess). NYC doesn't stand out, afaik; some other cities had higher crime rates.

What makes you say that has changed from the past?

I think this discussion is about today. I don't follow your reference to old history or how that affects the general discussion?
