Aren't accidents something like the third largest cause of death in the US?
Sounds quite logical to me that they'd spend the largest amount of time and resources on that.
- wahnfrieden 3y agoThese are pretext stops. They target people they aim to escalate charges with, not dangerous drivers. That’s why they end with minor warnings.
- the_lego 3y agoHow does the data distinguish between a pretext stop, and a stop for a genuine traffic infraction, like minor speeding or a broken light, that a cop uses their discretion on and issues only a warning? Naively, forcing cops to apply the law even more strictly and always issue fines for minor violations, is not something we want, is it?
