NEW YORK — New York's attorney general on Friday recommended the New York Police Department get out of the business of routine traffic enforcement, a radical change she said would prevent encounters like one last year in the Bronx that escalated quickly and ended with an officer fatally shooting a motorist.

Attorney General Letitia James, who acts as a special prosecutor appointed to investigate certain police killings, argued that traffic stops for minor infractions often end in violence and that Allan Feliz's death last October after he was pulled over for a seat belt violation “further underscores the need for this change.”

Bratton went after all crime and the state dropped in NY

people who steal $10,000 will also steal a ride on the subway.

Stop people for small stuff and you can find larger stuff

then mini mike wants everyone not white stopped - stop and frisk without PC
The NY courts ignored the constitution and let it stand

Now the pendulum has swung the other way - don’t stop people.

the person with no working tail lights- let them get rear ended
The person tailgating your grandmother in their car with no tags- let them go


Cops can show up after- give people the URL to file an online report.

Meh.

I’m fine with this.

Less fishing. Maybe more time for actual crime. Cause right now they don’t have time for vehicle theft , vandalism, trespassing etc.

If they really want to free up police for "real crimes", stop sending them to domestic calls. That's a family matter and the government doesn't have any business sticking their noses into their bedroom. Just utilize social workers after the couple files a form and schedules an appointment. In 6-10 weeks.

If they want police to stop enforcing traffic laws, then they need to abolish the laws. They're law enforcement, they enforce the law regardless of the law, and they don't get to selectively choose what they will and will not enforce. Politicians need to stop passing the buck onto the police, they're the ones that passed the fucking laws and charged the police with enforcing said laws.

Why is it, Mister Redmanss Sir, that you can put in so much thought, logic, intelligence, and reality into one single posting..... and yet the whole complete point of it is so incredibly LOST on so many others? AND, so many of those 'so-many-others' have been elected, appointed, or promoted into positions of "power, leadership, and/or authority"?

In this case, I use those terms loosely.

Pandering to the politically expedient? Money? Votes to remain in power?

You're right. Absolutely correct. And I truly HATE the fact that what you say is 'right'.... when it is SO wrong.
