Murdering civilians? That's something only the "USian" government does! Just ask the Uyghurs, and those Tianamen students

"You should question why you don't already know information someone thousands of miles away from you can find in 10 seconds."

It's called dunning Kruger effect

I live here, I grew up here. Crime has been lowering in the past 20 years.

I'm also not just a white person (n word is Spanish for black person), I'm a native Belgian. We allow a lot of immigration. Unlike Japan, china, South Korea, ...

Mass immigration isn't that easy to handle. It has become a lot better than mere decades ago. Country has evolved its ability to receive people that don't speak Dutch. People atleast can speak English now.

My wife's from Indonesia. She hasn't had a single encounter with police here. Why would she? She doesn't live in a crime hotspot.

The crime hotspot is Brussels. if majority of people living in this crime hotspot aren't natives, then the police encounters will less likely be with natives.

"- Brussels: As the capital city, Brussels has the highest incidence of crime in Belgium. It is known for issues such as car thefts, pickpocketing, and snatch-and-grab incidents, particularly in train stations. The crime rate in Brussels is significant, with petty theft being the most common type of offense."

One advice. Don't live in a big city. Belgium is a very decentralised country. Rail roads sprouted everywhere. There's grocery stores, schools etc everywhere.

Move away from crime, then you move away from police officers with a difficult job. It's merely common sense.

If people didn't like it here, they'd literally just move out of the country. This isn't north Korea. With the money they earn here they can live well in the country they know the language and culture.

My wife's in Indonesia right now. Paid 2 euros for a haircut. 50 euros (viewed as generous) to paint her house for 15 hours. She earned minimum wage here as a cleaner (14 hours per week) and in Indonesia that equals to more money than she earned at a law office for 60 hours per week.

Trust me broski, Belgium is nice, otherwise we wouldn't have that many immigrants.

I fully agree

They can't do that when those laws don't exist to begin with.

People are pretty protected. But now this issue:

E bikes have been surging the country, theft has increased as well. These bikes have a tracker in them.

It locates into a certain neighbourhood, later on it will be more precise.

But people can just deny entrance, so cops (along with the owner) can't just go and look around.

Now, this is pretty digitalised eh, the tracker from a third party shows the bike is there. So the owner would really like it if they could just get the bike for him.

I would vote so that they can just go grab these bikes. Get it over with. Cops entering homes wouldn't be bastards then.

Obvious issue: can just put a stolen bike in the neighborhood, have citizen give permission to look for the stolen bike quickly. They enter the house. Plant some evidence. Blablabla.

But still, I want e bikes to be promoted. Theft to be lowered. There need to be solutions.
