Unintended Consequences? Sheriff and Police Departments all over the country suspending traffic operations due to lack of budget for cost of gas
A local sheriff near us put out a public announcement they are suspending all traffic enforcement efforts due to the lack of funding for gas at nearly $5.00/gallon. (Reading between the lines my assumption is they will not by lying in wait for speeders, stop sign roll throughs, red light runners, etc.)

I have read other departments as well are doing triage of sorts to ascertain how they can drive to and attend only the most serious of matters and encourage citizens to call or come to the police station for lesser matters.

This seems to go hand in hand with the "reset" protocol for defunding police via the back door; fuel cost.

This really brings home the concept of living in a community or at the very least knowing your neighbors and having a vigilant type of neighborhood watch.... or security and motion cameras as well as backup options.

There was so much push back on camera enforcement for red light runners in my part of the midwest that they turned the cameras off.... even after huge investment in the system.

Those things are full-on evil. Good for your local citizenry.

I'm in the People's Republic of Oregon, but even here one small town put one in, it operated for several years, but they finally took it out because it caused so many accidents.

I have family in the Denver Metro.... those cameras created enormous anxiety.... it was like a stampede of cattle with green and people slamming on the breaks at yellow paranoid about getting a ticket.

You could literally feel the anxiety in the air.... I just wanted to get to the mountains to hike and bike.

Agreed. Tickets for traffic violations are purely revenue generators and not for public safety. It's always been BS in TX.

 Quoting: ChivalryKnight


This is a very intended consequence actually.

By pulling enforcement away from key areas they open you up to being victimized.

And remember, if you're white it's basically illegal to defend yourself from crime at this point.
