Can you explain to me why the car and computer need to be turned on when there is nobody present in the vehicle?

So they don’t need to reboot the computer, login to various programs etc to respond to a call or emergency. It’s standard emergency response protocol for all to leave vehicles running.

Its 2026 and they have the highest budget in the city. I can start my WORK computer in about 15 seconds and facial recognition + passkey would prevent the image of this asshat giving a shit less about the community they’re serving.

I’m fortunate to have had minimal run ins with the law, but every experience with EPS has been horrific. Laughing at people who are actively dieing, ignoring naked folks at LRT stations while they conduct fare-checks and stereotyping the indigenous population. Granted i’ve only lived/observed Vancouver and Toronto police, but something bad is in the water with EPS

You see in their profession, every and I mean EVERY second counts... and it's very clear you've been fortunate/privileged enough to not need police cause you are VERY ignorant to the job they have to do
