To combat this issue, Mayor Eric Adams is taking action by handing out 500 Apple AirTag tracking devices to residents. These devices will allow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/toddler-gravely-wounded-in-chicago-road-rage-shooting\/\" title=\"Toddler Gravely Wounded In Chicago Road Rage Shooting\">car owners<\/a> to track their vehicles in real-time if they are stolen.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>A New Tool in the Fight Against Crime<\/h3>\n<p><span>Mayor Adams believes that the AirTag is a &#8220;really amazing piece of ingenuity&#8221; that will help to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-york-responds-to-rampant-car-theft-by-handing-out-apple-airtag-trackers\/\" title=\"New York Responds to Rampant Car Theft by Handing Out Apple AirTag Trackers\">reduce car thefts<\/a> in the city. He encourages citizens to purchase tracking devices for their cars as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Critics Point to Bail Reform<\/h3>\n<p><span>Some critics of Democratic policies blame the city&#8217;s bail reform for the increase in crime. The New York Times reported that just 327 thieves, who have collectively been arrested more than 6,000 times, are responsible for a third of the city\u2019s retail crime.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Mayor Adams Takes a Stand Against Crime<\/h3>\n<p><span>This is not the first time Mayor Adams has taken action to combat crime in the city. In March, he urged store-owners to ban entry to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/doctors-say-dont-jump-to-conclusions-omicron-easily-treated\/\" title=\"Doctors say don\u2019t jump to conclusions, Omicron \u2018easily treated\u2019\">people wearing face masks<\/a> in order to crack down on robbers. House Republicans held a hearing in the city last month focused on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/road-rage-incident-could-undermine-radical-prosecutors-promotion-to-u-s-attorney\/\" title=\"Road Rage Incident Could Undermine Radical Prosecutor\u2019s Promotion to U.S. Attorney\">rising crime<\/a> and Democratic officials&#8217; failure to curb it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>A Call for Accountability<\/h3>\n<p><span>As the city continues to grapple with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mccarthy-house-gop-signal-support-for-police-in-midst-of-defunding-calls\/\" title=\"McCarthy, House GOP Signal Support for Police in Midst of Defunding Calls\">rising crime rates<\/a>, it&#8217;s clear that more needs to be done to keep citizens safe. Mayor Adams and other officials must be held accountable for their actions, and citizens must do their part by taking advantage of new tools like the Apple AirTag to protect their property.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/04\/30\/nyc-to-give-away-airtag-gps-devices-to-help-fight-big-apple-car-thefts\/\">Source 1<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/facing-crime-surge-nyc-mayor-tells-storeowners-to-ban-face-masks\/\">Source 2<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/latest-news\/new-york-passed-revolving-door-bail-reform-now-a-handful-of-thieves-are-committing-a-third-of-all-city-retail-crime\/\">Source 3<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/watch-nyc-bodega-owner-calls-out-alvin-bragg-for-targeting-an-innocent-man\/\">Source 4<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>500 lucky New York City residents are about to get their hands on some seriously cool tech!
