I have seen this in so many places, I have no idea why police no longer care about enforcing traffic laws, it's bizarre! They're driving more than anyone! They have kids! Yet they don't care. Like do they get paid more dealing with crashes, the bloody the better?

I've seen more people just straight-up run red lights in San Diego since Covid than I had in my entire life up to that point. There's essentially zero traffic enforcement in Southern California.

They didnt join to write tickets. They want to either stand around or deliver violence. Now that its a lot harder to plant drugs in a car or molest passengers, they are less motivated to do traffic enforcement at all.

This is a huge issue in Chicago. The only traffic enforcement that happens is either cameras, which cops have nothing to do with, or when cops use it as a pretense to hassle Black and brown people.

Oh yeah, cops can pull a driver over if the light on their licences plate is dim. Not burnt out, broken, missing, no, no, too dim, not bright enough to light the plate in the cop's opinion, could be brand new bulb but officer friendly had to squint to make out the letters, justified stop.

One of the most enlightening moments for how all-encompassing Car Brain can be is seeing people drive in their kid’s school parking lot. Your child was literally walking there 2 minutes ago, why are you flying around like an asshole?

I‘m in the chill suburbs and it happens all the time. Someone ran through a red light only to pull over right in the crosswalk I was about to enter. When I asked him why he just smiled and shrugged.

if they issue traffic citations they have to go to traffic court, is what I think 80% of the issue is

It's not just SoCal. Driving became a free-for-all during Covid, and it hasn't gotten much better since then. Especially beware the sportscars. I had a BMW and two Corvettes weaving through traffic at high speed on the expressway the other day.

same! I never see a cop directing traffic unless it’s a funeral of another cop even when cops are on flag detail for roadwork, they don’t direct the traffic, they just stand around talking to the workers or Crushing the Candy on their phones
