People do care, it just doesn't kill anyone like drunk driving does.

  How many people care? How much do they care? How much do they care about other stuff. This isn't high on most people's lists which is why they'll slap up a camera to make You People (I'm sure I'm dating myself with that reference) quit complaining and call it good. If it mattered a lot to a lot of people the average beat cop would have it on their KPIs every other quarter.

    > average beat cop Hahaha, average beat cop, in the UK. We defund all those years ago. The police don’t have anywhere near enough time to deal with violent crime, never mind non-violent crime. The only way enforcement will work in the UK is with automated systems that let an officer review 100 cases an hour. Anything else costs too much time. Or we could fund our police properly, but given the current situation, it’s more likely they’ll see further cuts in the near future.

      There are actually more police per capita now than at times over the past 70 years when there were much lower numbers of both police and crime, but those periods also had much higher numbers of police on foot patrol.
