Same ole same ole, police don't care

And all over the neighborhood!

This happened again last night, I'm calling the cops every single time this happens

I did hear drag racing, and pumping engines on Lex in middle of the night. It went on for quite a while. Still a problem in this neighborhood. Would be a good idea to redo the speed bumps on Lexington to make them more of a deterrent. As they are now, very worn down, there's no need to slow down to go over them.

I dont expect the neighborhood to understand this but the Police have arrested the 3 brothers more times than the blogs on this page each. One such brother has about 10 cases of assorted charges still pending in court. The court throws them back out into society and they continue to do what they do all over again without missing a beat. Their mother and father take them back into their house with open arms. The point im trying to make is there are no consequences that will change their behavior. They will commit crimes and quality of life crimes and they will disturb your peace and mine without a care because its nothing to them to spend a few hours in jail. The court system is the only system that can change societies behavior. It just keeps failing us everyday. Keep calling the PD when you see or hear it and we will address it the best we can.

Bottom line there has to be a drastic change in our court system. The police can only do so much. It must be very frustrating for them.

I don't expect the sarge to understand this but I'll say it anyways. Lexington ave needs police presence, as it is the jerkoffs at 188 have no fear of cops rolling by, none whatsoever. The guy at 130 lex rode his child up and down the street/sidewalk ALL summer on his crotchrocket when he wasn't letting his bros race it in front of my house.

You can blame the courts, I can blame the lack of police presence. Please help.

To me the bottom line is citizens should not have to witness crimes coming from the same place daily with no police presence. Blaming the courts is not a solution, it is an excuse.

I was trying to make a point not a excuse. I'm sure the whole city would like to see more police presence but the fact is we are short 150 cops. So, the way we police is on a priority basis. I don't read these blogs everyday so you need to call the substation number 203-946-7163. and voice your concerns about what's going on in your neighborhood and maybe we can find a way together to fix it.

The police can only arrest them what happens after is up to courts.

I appreciate that the local police are responding to issues raised on this site and that they are engaging in this conversation. As is clearly this site's mission, voicing our concerns here collectively should raise awareness for the police and for the city as to what needs attention and policing in our neighborhood right now. Especially apt in this case as it's clear who the perpetrators are and, where they live! However, the folks at 188 are not the only offenders of road racing and use of illegal vehicles. This is a systemic problem in Fair Haven and Fair Haven Heights. It effects quality of life and even property values. Very prominent speed bumps have been an effective deterrent on other streets in our area. Lets improve on and add speed bumps on Lexington. Without good speed bumps, and the fact that there are no stop lights or stop signs for a long stretch, Lexington is a great race track.

Yes, lets all fill out the safe streets garbage and wait a year for a response... How about some occasional police on Lexington Ave? I'm curious to know when the last speeding ticket was written in the Heights.

And as bitter as I am about the direction our neighborhood is going I also appreciate the local top cop responding.

Tax's get u nuthin

Lexington Ave.- I wont debate on this subject or any other subject on this site..I have repeatedly , over and over, put my phone number and office address on here but nobody calls except one person on a blocked number and wants to remain anonymous and he calls me after the fact. (Im just glad he calls) You have a high ranking official that lives on your street and raises his family because he thinks its a nice neighborhood. Hes called me once in 5 years. He doesnt blog. He gets right to the point with who can make a difference. Im on lexington ave. 5 times a day and nobody waves me down or calls . 32 Lexington ave. is not a police issue call LCI and have someone who can make a difference deal with it and get back to you. The drag racing of Motor bikes and cars is a police issue but I need more than a day after blog of negativity. I pay taxes too and im a city resident , if I have a problem (That makes me not sleep at night) the last thing Im going to do is type a blog. Theres your response..my number,again, is 203-946-7163 my substation office is on woodward avenue.

Thank you, PD; all very good points!

One of the reasons for the great improvement in the dirt bike problem is because of the East Shore Police District Manager. Also the situation at 188 Lexington Ave has improved from prior years thanks to him. He has reach out to us, try giving him a chance.

Sgt Vinny has done A LOT to make Fair Haven Heights a safer place to live. My neighborhood of Quinnipiac & Grand is an example of this. Don't @#$% on this blog if you're not calling him when he offers a direct line of communication. I'm sympathetic to your plight though. I had a recurring situation on my block but persistence, and plenty of communication with Vinny and those at fault who lived on my street, got it resolved over time. It's our neighborhood and determination, which I know at lot of you have, will win out over those who try to make it a lawless playground. Stay the course folks.

Stop complaining and to the East shore director I have my own place and a business away from there. Keep my name out your mouth. I can't account for what others do but we both know this is no crime and it bring CT money. Let us build a track and you see there will no longer be a need to cry over this subject. And leave the courts alone they can't submit to you and these neighbors petty cries when there's bigger issues at hand. This has been happening for 16 years plus and the racing community is large it's everywhere not just in these neighborhoods. Have a nice day.shm....

Below are some race tracks in Connecticut. There may be more try doing an online search.

STAFFORD MOTOR SPEEDWAY - STAFFORD SPRINGS
THOMPSON INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY - THOMPSON
WATERFORD SPEEDBOWL - WATERFORD
LIME ROCK PARK - LIME ROCK

The posts by Mr. Reveron are reasons why if you suspect illegal activities it is best to call Sgt Vinny instead of posting here.

Stop bothering people,and stop arresting people for stupid @#$%. Focus on real crime.

Re-opening this, since SCF kindly removed the violating comments and since it's still an issue. Thanks!

I would like to know the violating comments because I want to know what we are dealing with.

XYZ, if you've signed up for e-mail notifications, they're in your inbox. Basically they were just derogatory, not constructive to the conversation at hand, and generally a waste of time.

Thanks for the response.

You all funny at the end I'm the only one speaking my mind under no false pretenses or anonymous bull.....or less hiding behind a badge that no longer represents safety or hope.

Jail for X-mas anyone?

Jail for birds like u....lol let me not insult the birds

I don't think posting people's errors should be praised or condoned out of spite and hate. That's blatant difamation of character and straight disregard for people who have nothing to do with these issues. Hope you're proud of yourself commissioner. Past is past I wish you all the best.

What

I think this thread has become largely unproductive at this point. But Rafael, defamation is "the action of damaging the good reputation of someone; slander or libel." If someone is merely listing what is public record of someone else's actions, that's not defamation. Now if I publicly state a number of untruths about you for the purpose of trying to damage your reputation, that's defamation. Either way, I think it would be great if everyone--including those living at 188 Lexington--would use their energies to be a good, quiet, peaceful and respectful neighbor, and not just make knee jerk reaction comments on an anonymous website. We'd get a lot further with this issue if that happened. Happy Monday everyone.

Speeing is the point. No

Mr Howard street thank you for the better understanding but my reputation is good,my past actions aren't. But I'm not here to ask for redemption or pitty,simply to say everyone deserves a better life. I've seemed mine sadly people think they are better then others and that there is no change. I've been awesome at business just sadly I had a angry streak growing up but I am doing great. If people are gonna hold it against me forever then simply forget I exist. Nothing I am doing is wrongly affecting anyone so my question is y does everyone else want to do something to see me hurt. I encourage others not judge them. Anyway farewell everyone. I no longer live there so it's not my concern.

Thank you also Mr. Street your positive energy and comments are inspiring.

Live your life in a way to prove them that was you then not now. Get yourself right with God he forgives us all.
The post that upset you should have been taken down sooner then it was.

We are closing this request due to its historic nature. If this concern still requires attention and you still believe SeeClickFix is a viable tool for its resolution the best way for it to be addressed is for you to create a new request including a current description of what is occurring and what solution you hope to see regarding this matter, citing/linking this request in the details. Thank you for your dedication to improving the quality of life in our community.
