No - just any time other than the near-term low of five years ago. Crime is up only from that specific period, where it had fallen to the lowest level in a half century. But compared to any time in the 70's, 80's, 90's, 2000's, and early 2010's, crime is down.

Yes. Crime is up from 5 years ago. That's my point, thanks for helping out!

Let's understand why. Take a look at this law:

https://lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/2021-22/Pd...

This was passed into law and signed by Jay Inslee in 2021 in the state of Washington.

Brief Summary of Substitute Bill
• Prohibits peace officers from using chokeholds and neck restraints.
Prohibits peace officers from using police dogs to arrest or apprehend
persons.
•
Prohibits law enforcement agencies from acquiring or using tear gas and
certain types of military equipment.
•
Requires law enforcement agencies to adopt policies and procedures to
ensure that uniformed peace officers are reasonably identifiable.
•
Establishes restrictions on vehicular pursuits and firing upon moving
vehicles.
•
Prohibits a peace officer from seeking, and a court from issuing, a search
or arrest warrant granting an express exception to the "knock and
announce" rule.

Do bills like this affect crime? <--- I'll save you some time. This is a question I already know the answer to and will make the rest of the thread about getting you to say, "yes". :)
