So the crime rate was probably even higher before smart phones and social media.

Maybe. But, I’ve filed several police reports in the past couple years. Things like car break-ins, firearm brandishing on the freeway, package theft with enough info to easily catch them, etc. no one ever calls back. It’s a good thing I don’t need “god” to be good haha.
