I know of two people who declared bankruptcy and within two weeks of the discharge, they were getting mass mailings for pre-approved credit card offers. Oh...sorry, I was hungry! A buddy of mine declared bankruptcy and after only about 4 years he was able to get a loan for a house. 1 Link to comment

ZRod Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 1 hour ago, DevoHusker said: Some perspective from 2023... https://www.fox5ny.com/news/nyc-crime-rate-2023-statistics Quote According to NYPD statistics, overall crime was down in New York City in 2023 by just under a percentage point compared to 2022. Both years saw more reported crimes compared to 2020 and 2021, but rates are lower compared to 2019, before COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns. Murders are down 11.9%, with 386 far this year, as opposed to 438 murders in 2022. And rapes, burglaries and shootings have all seen double-digit percentage point decreases since 2022. It's not all good news, however. The city has seen a 6.3% increase in assaults and a 15.0% increase in grand larceny. Stabbings and slashings are also up just over 5%, from 4318 in 2022 to 4553 through Dec. 18 of this year. The city's subways have been the focus of most New Yorkers' crime anxieties, but according to the MTA, overall crime is down on the rails, although felony assaults have seen a slight jump. 1 Link to comment

But, I would guess there's probably some strict rules they need to abide by. Like, maybe they can apprehend someone they see committing a crime, but an actual police officer would then need to be called and make the arrest. I wonder what the rules are around if they end up actually shooting someone. Link to comment
