I get a Safety Report from Ring every week.

They categorize the included police reports as "Crime," "Safety" and "Animal."

Under "Crime," they have "Violent" and "Non-Violent."

Examples of Crimes reported:

- Arrest: Assault, Family
- Assault 2
- Terroristic Threatening
- Bank Robbery: Man passed a note to teller demanding money

The first 3 are in the category "Non-violent."

The man passing a note to a bank teller and leaving with the loot was classified "Violent."

So, in Hawaii, ASSAULT is NON-VIOLENT, but a note passed to a bank teller is VIOLENT.

 

Probably because "assault" doesn't necessarily mean there was a medium of physical exchange, whereas "robbery" is considered a violent crime in terms of UCR and "theft" is not.

IIRC assault 2 is no longer a conviction where you lose your 2a right in HI. Thanks to HIFICO.

I never witnessed or heard of 2nd hand cops miscategorizing charges, but I assume it happens and not because of human error, but because I have experience with cops trying not to make a police report.  As in trying to persuade the victim to not file one.

"I have experience with cops trying not to make a police report.  As in trying to persuade the victim to not file one."

I'll get flamed fro this but you are correct.
Main reason is they don't want to "Bust" a cousin, or uncle.
Some people say Hawaiians aren't tribal, but they sure act like it.
 

Where are the categories for:

• Blatant stupidity
• Challenged Darwin's theory

 

maybe the bank robber mis gendered the bank teller?

Banks are important

You and me not so much

3rd circuit Range vs. Garland made a ruling. They upheld banning non-violent felons from possessing guns. And used the reasoning that blacks, native americans, and  servants were not allowed to own guns in the colonial days.

I would second your observation but I think the main reason is usually just laziness. They don't want to type and investigate.
