They are no longer enforcing traffic laws.

Speed cameras were deployed last year. Unlike cops, they don’t go on strike.
we keep finding ways to get policing done without police, what the fuck are we paying those shits for?
Keeping the working man in line. Or preserving the status quo.
We have lots of speed cameras and red light cameras in Australia. Let the police focus on real crime, while the cameras work 24/7.
A big part of police budgets is that they are expected to deal with all the shitty design problems of roadways but that budget isn’t considered part of the roadway budget. A significant number of speeding tickets and traffic accidents are contributed to by unsafe designs.
What do you mean? Trafic violations clearly just had a very rapid decline! /s
To sit around and make some people feel safe whilst making most people feel unsafe.
