He meets every Friday with his precinct captains at the North Precinct Station to go over the stats, and he openly welcomed the public to attend these meetings during his speech on Saturday.<BR/><BR/>Our Precinct Officers have been very detailed in our association meetings, providing us with breakdowns of arrests and traffic stops and giving us details when traffic stops became arrests. Nobody on our end has felt a need to question the officers, so I've got no reason to question the general stats or to wonder if there is a link between traffic stops and increased robbery.S-townMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05948307051485318061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-1130177797962896602005-10-24T13:16:00.000-05:002005-10-24T13:16:00.000-05:00It bears repeating: 30,000 arrests of criminal su...It bears repeating: <B>30,000</B> arrests of criminal suspects at Serpas's traffic stops. Hold him accountable for the increase in robberies in the city if you like, but you cannot say that traffic stops have not produced results in taking criminals off the streets.<BR/><BR/>30,000 is a huge number, Blake, and it doesn't allow you to link stops with the increase in robberies. I'd trade a speeding ticket or two for the security knowing that 30,000 less criminal suspects were barred from roaming the streets. Your only recourse is to challenge the numbers. If you can show with real evidence that 30,000 arrests actually were not made during the stops, then you have a case against Serpas. But until then, Serpas can legitimately claim that arresting those 30,000 criminals justified the traffic stops.S-townMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05948307051485318061noreply@blogger.com
