This country is so unserious. I’ve been doing constituent services for a few years, 99% is just doing something online for old ppl. The other 1% is a house call, complaining of neighbors breaking the law, and the constituent is breaking the law too

Isn't that the point of constituent services?

kinda? it’s just mostly stuff that they could pretty easily do themselves with an ounce of tech knowledge. And for the house calls, the person who is calling about a neighbor breaking the law is also breaking the law. Last week, I went to document reports of a neighbor running an illegal business. When I arrived, the neighbor who made the call had goats (most farm animals are illegal in my city).

Helping old people with technology is a based job but those both sound like really dumb reasons to get cops involved to me

Then again I'm not really familiar with what constituents are actually supposed to do this is the first I'm hearing of it

Not police work, it’s work for state & city officials, helping the ppl in their district. i don’t even think this house call was in our field since it’s more of a License and Inspections or City Council case, not State Rep. The call in question was a family running basically a speakeasy and throwing huge parties 4 nights a week. We had to document it since the guy had video evidence, but like why tf are you asking us to deal with L&I violations when you have several L&I violations yourself???
