Cops gotta show up to record a crime in the first place. I don't know about other states, but in my area of Texas the police have basically never gone "back to work" post 2020 protests. They're extremely sensitive adult babies who refuse to do their jobs if people don't worship them. I rarely see police on the road and only see them pulling people over near the end of the month. My bike registration has been expired since last year and I can blast past a cop in traffic without fear of enforcement as long as I'm not being too extreme.
