Actually, acpme said it best....
"i love when people say, "don't the police have something better to do, like solve murders??" yeah, that's what i would love. for the police dept in the town i live in to be so preoccupied with murder cases they can't respond promptly to a citizen's complaint, even if it is just about parking".
Be thankful your officers have time to be pro-active...as opposed to re-active. Our response time to this parking complaint situation probably would have been 8 - 9 hours.....for the above ^^^ reasons....(well, not just murders, but all major crimes ie: burglary, assaults, robberies, etc)
