A funny thing about the Old City.
In El Centro, which is still encircled by the original fortified wall built about 400 years ago, there are thousands of cops. Almost every single street has a cop. And every public square, of which there are many, has at least two cops. But outside the wall, across the plaza, in the other section of the Old City that is named after the place where Jesus was betrayed, you will find zero cops on the street. So it really is kind of the 'dangerous garden' where the local authorities figure whatever you get yourself in to, you deserve.
