"While the city has ramped up camera enforcement, it has reduced traffic enforcement by police, the report found, partly because of a 13 percent decrease in police force staff from 2018 to 2023." interesting www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
D.C. traffic cameras have led to sharp decline in speeding, data shows
The city has installed 477 traffic cameras. On some roads with the devices, citations fell by more than 95 percent. But traffic fatalities are still rising.
LA is thinking about getting cops out of traffic (generally good) but is generally opposed to these cameras (not good). Our streets are getting deadlier every year 🙃
The only way to defund the police is to cede control of your city to people who don’t live there and have only contempt for it?
did this also reduce police killings of drivers?
