I mean, I don’t think it would be there to see if your car has moved or not, but rather to let other people know some thing about your car.

If I were you I would probably call 911 and let them know it’s a nonemergency but that you just wanted to make a report or let it be aware that you find it suspicious or think that you were marked or targeted so that it’s on record or something I don’t know

Maybe they have more information about what it could mean

Okay lol

That is literally what they are for is to help keep you safe, but that is up to you and you are welcome

The Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales Deshaney v. Winnebago County Department of Social Services

Police have no duty to protect or serve.

So what do you think they do?

Let's stay within the bounds of our discussion. I purport, with case law, that cops don't have a duty to act. Now it's your turn to refute that.

If you think me asking you what you think they do is outside of the context of our “discussion”, then you are unable to follow simple conversation skills. You sound ridiculous to me lol. Your attempt to site case law for such a broad assertion is actually funny

I’m good thanks though. If you call the police ever for help you are then a hypocrite.
