San Diego police non-emergency is a joke
Today I woke up to a car blocking the drive way I was in and had to goto work. Called 3 different towing companies all said need to call police since it’s public street. Then I called the non emergency hotline and cops never showed up . I guess people can get away with parking where ever on the street .

I go once a week to a business that does after hours private events. They have a small parking lot in an urban area. Myself and 7 other drivers park in the lot, go into the business, and come out to find a car parked in front of the only driveway out. No other exits, lot is bordered by walls.
I called towing, same answer, public property. Called the non emergency and they said they’d get to it. Four hours later I get a call back from police (I was the one who called) stating they came, the driver was in the car when they arrived, refused to roll down the window to speak with the police officer, and left.
A police officer told me they couldn’t speak to someone because they left.
People have been chased, assaulted, and shot by police officers for less.
