No, I do NOT feel save on my street. I called the police because of a drunk driver, on 8/18/07, wrapped his car around my tree. Because they were illegal and did not speak english the police decided to enforce ''the good neighbor policy'' and not make an arrest nor a ticket. I guess some people that live in our neighborhood are above the law.

Any time you call the police for anything get the names of the officers responding. If they fail to perform their duties report them.
If this individual was indeed intoxicated and the officers failed to incarcerate him they have failed to enforce both local and state laws and should be reprimanded.
Was there damage to your yard or tree resulting in expensive repairs? If so have your homeowners insurance policy holder puruse the individual for cost of repairs.
Did you take any photos of the the car? If so you might send digital versions and your story to local TV stations - they love this kind of stuff. And sadly, bad press seems to be the only way to get any positive action out of our current administration.

there wasn't any damage to my tree. It tore up my grass and I have glass across my yard. Nothing to claim. I didn't get any pictures. I was worried that someone might be hurt. They got out of the car and then the driver jumped back in and drove it down the street. I was suprised that it even started. The other two took off on foot. They never even acknowledged me. We did call the police dept. they said they would investigate the officers. I am sure they have a record of the 911 call. I am very disapointed in our police dept.

I don't feel so safe
Your drunk driver story doesn't surprise me at all. People throw beer cans and bottles out of their cars onto our street pretty much daily. We had a drunk driver hit a heighbor and her dog (only slightly injured because she saw him coming) a couple of years ago. It's out of control.
