{{cquote|Innes says he blames not police, but those in political control of the city, particularly the board of supervisors. "You really can't compare San Francisco with any other city," says Innes. "Homosexual advocates infiltrate and dominate the political structures here. Police are in straitjackets.  They can't do their job. They've been instructed not to arrest homosexuals."<ref>Christianity Today, Nov 8, 1993 v37 p57</ref>}}

Pastor Innes then cites a Stember 30, 1993 letter published in the [[San Francisco Chronicle]] from a veteran police officer who was "highly embarrassed" when people asked him he was not making any arrests in regards to totally naked males engaging in lewd behavior at the San Francisco Folsom Street Fair. The officer stated that "At least a dozen times I had to painstakingly explain that we were to take a position of 'high tolerance' and not to create an incident." <ref>Christianity Today, Nov 8, 1993 v37 page 57</ref>

In 1990 and 1991 extreme public lewdness was exhibited at the [[San Francisco Gay and Lesbian Parades|Gay and Lesbian Parades in San Francisco]] and when police authorities were asked why there were no arrests they offered various excuses such as the primary responsibility was to "reflect community standards and maintain crowd control."<ref>http://www.leaderu.com/marco/special/spc12.html</ref>

San Francisco is also a "city of refugees", which means they have passed an [[ordnance]] that it is against the law to report [[illegal immigrant]]s to the United States authorities as they are required to legally do.  In other words anyone upholding the federal law will get in trouble with the city.  This has led to a culture of underage drug dealers continuing their trade with impunity.<ref>http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,374803,00.html</ref>

Mayor [[Gavin Newsom]] has made [[recycling]] one of his biggest issues, in a blatant attempt to appeal to his leftist constituency. Unfortunately, San Francisco already has some of the most restrictive recycling laws in the country, including mandatory recycling. Therefore any new laws proposed have been intrusive and unnecessary. Newsom's most recently proposed a $1000 ban for improperly sorted recycling. Garbage collectors would inspect the trash and issue tickets to "violators", who will likely be regular citizens who made reasonabe mistakes. The laws have been labeled [[Gestapo]]-like by the Canadian press.<ref>[http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/4314 Canada Free Press] San Francisco Recycling Gestapo</ref>.
