It's a horribly perverse incentive. Give 0% of the fines to the police and you'll see traffic stops drop drastically.

- uxp100 6y agoIs that good? I see people driving 70 in a 25, driving on the wrong side of the road and forcing other drivers off, and passing in the parking lane or bike lane, and swerving towards pedestrians and spitting on people. What I’ve never seen is a traffic stop on a city street. Ever. On highways sure, but never ever on city streets. There can be street racers driver 40 mph over the speed limit 4 abreast at 2 am, and the best you can do is make a video to post on Twitter. I have simply never seen traffic enforcement. And it’s bad. Multiple friends have been hit by cars walking, one severely. That’s the only one where the car even stopped.
- zepto 6y agoYes - don’t give police the fines. Tie their performance to bringing down accident numbers.
