Police Lines
Filed under: A sign of trouble or some major incident having occurred nearby
oday, about an 80-meter distance (modest radius) from our doorstep, an entire home was cordoned off with police line (ribbons) and one police van or sedan. Both were there early in the morning and also around noontime.
We don’t know what happened and in my experience it’s impossible to know by checking the Web site of the police or even social control media ‘gossip’. All those things remain a mystery and are forgotten about a day later.
I wish we could more easily access information about crimes that happen around us. The Cost of Living crisis may have contributed to more violence; my gut feeling tells me someone got murdered in that home and they collect evidence such as fingerprints.
Crime-related transparency is something I wish was better everywhere. Sometimes you learn something by talking to a nosy neighbour.
