I really do wonder what needs to change in our system to align the incentives of the police with the incentives of the public. I'm not saying that traffic violations shouldn't be enforced, but it seems very strange to me there's such a focus on traffic - installing speed cameras everywhere, red light cameras, yellow box cameras, moving police vans. Given the seriousness of most driving offences it seems weird there's so much focus on it compared to their just total apathy towards any other kind of crime. Do 50mph in a 40mph area? Oh they'll catch you, they're going to spend millions putting average speed cameras right across the country. Someone breaks into your house and steals your 50k car? Oh they're not even going to investigate and you'll get the speeding ticket for the speed the thief was doing once they'd nicked it which you'll have to appeal. It's just so weird. I guess it's partly just "Here's the one type of crime that is revenue positive and trivial to solve".
