Clean Tech News & Views: EVs, Solar Energy, Batteries

Over the years, we’ve gotten quite a few e-bikes in to review. I don’t do every kind of riding, and I don’t have time to do long-term tests on every bike, so I often recruit friends and family to join in. They get a bike, and I get better information than I’d get if I tried to ride 10 bikes with one butt.. If I did more city riding, I’d have kept that one in my shed, but my brother is working on a second degree on a very large college campus.

You’d think that with that information, the police would be able to do something about it. After all, he had evidence that the stolen bike was at a particular location. So, the police should be able to use that probable cause to search, or at the very least, submit that probable cause to a judge to get a warrant, right?

Looking into it further, my brother’s experience is common. In many places, the police will not only refuse to do a search, but won’t bother with attempting to get a warrant. To get the answer of “Why?” answered, I ended up finding a video by YouTube attorney Steve Lehto: In other words, the police can’t just go searching people or their property unless there’s probable cause to do so. There must be some evidence of a crime and evidence of the stolen property for the police to go in and get it. But, courts have been arguing over what “probable cause” means since not long after the Constitution was ratified and the Bill of Rights voted into law by the first states.

But, there’s also an opportunity cost. In some places, the police won’t pursue the warrant because they don’t think property crimes are worth their time. They’d rather spend their time worrying about crimes, eating donuts, or parking beside the highway to sleep next to a radar gun. In some cases, the other things may be real. In others, it’s just laziness. In some very corrupt towns, it could be that the local government wants them out seeking revenue instead of serving the public.
