that most departments state wide have basically quit enforcing or never even bothered enforcing anything in the first place. I know officially Detroit PD is still supposed to, however 2 of the officers I know there said they are doing the bare minimum to keep the higher ups happy. For example, one of them has a fairly popular basketball court within their precincts patrol area. The city removed the hoops a while back to prevent people from playing games. They have gotten a complaints of games still being played as someone replaced the hoops with portable ones. They still respond if someone calls, but at this point its all for show. Most of the time the kids run when they show up and return after they leave and if they see it during their normal patrol route, they are ignoring it.

That's what California should have done. onecaliberal May 2020 #1
people and businesses, at least on the west part of the state, are pretty much ignoring it yaesu May 2020 #2
Since most of the deaths are in S.E. MI, maybe the western parts can get away with it. JustABozoOnThisBus May 2020 #3
