I’m surprised you didn’t knock on their door yourself and say “hey, me and the other neighbors are concerned”.
I’m also sure a motel has terms and conditions as well as faculty of its own. Calling someone wouldn’t have been unforgiven.
I have a slightly different perspective/experience with police. I might not see their justification as perfect given they’re appointed on a statehood basis and I don’t see the state’s authority as binding, but all my experiences with them have been somehow positive, more positive than I can say my experiences with civilians are, especially those who try to backseat drive how order in the world works. If I have a threshold like is asked, it’s the time I called them to tell them a park faucet was broken and leaking, the kind people might use for a hose, and people were livid at me the next day when the faucet was barricaded with “out of order” barriers, like they’d rather massively waste a resource than give up an asset.
