How is it inequitable? What gives POCs the right or the excuse to drive recklessly?

It's what the Democrats told us wrt pulling cars over, and they're always right so.....


Sorry pedestrians, you're on your own. Police aren't allowed to make traffic stops anymore.

Stop. I am a Democrat, and I don't care who said it. If someone says that, repeat the question, what gives POCs the right or excuse to drive dangerously? Or for that matter anyone else? Repeat that question over and over until they run out of deflections and doublespeak that don't address the question, repeat it until they stop talking and acknowledge THEY ARE IN FACT WRONG .

Because you're white and have power.

What does being white and having power have to do with people speeding, running red lights, using fake license plates, and not paying tickets? Nothing

Progressive democrats decided that the best way to address past racism is to make all current laws in the district voluntary.

I don't recall that ever being on anyone's campaign platform. Maybe we need to be asking for them to specifically disclose their beliefs on policing when they run for office.

I think the failure to curb smaller offenses has led to a sense of immunity for any and all crimes committed.

Could be. I can’t stand the metro jumpers and the managers who don’t even blink. I would like to see free fare cards for people so they pass the turnstile. Then it changes it from illegal but sanctioned to in compliance.

The last metro employee who blinked was murdered. It’s like CVS employees with shoplifters- just not worth it.

Fwiw, I'm a Dem and live in DC in a neighborhood plagued by drag racing, ATVs and loud engines. We need to see a radical about face on traffic enforcement. What if law abiding folks boycotted paying the excessive parking tickets until we see some equity in enforcement of dangerous driving that truly punishes all of us who live here?

If you have two or more unpaid tickets you will be booted and unable to register your car or renew your license. So you go first!

They virtually signaled and changed the law yet have completely failed to enforce the new laws. It's maddening.

[Anonymous]

They are not enforcing anything I see a ton of people running red lights everyday by the police barracks and no one ever gets pulled over.

stop electing crazy people? this is what happens when you have the city council that we have.

Did you get an actual citation or just a warning?

MPD is severely understaffed right now. Severely. To maintain bare minimum coverage, officers are sometimes being "held over" at the end of their shifts. (Held over = they are told they can't go home because they have to stay to work another shift.)

To answer your question, they are rarely doing traffic patrols because they do not have enough patrol officers. On most shifts, all the patrol officers on duty spend their whole shift answering 911 calls. They cannot take officers away from responding to 911 calls by sending them to do traffic enforcement.

If you see something dangerous or illegal, you should call it in. Then a patrol officer can be dispatched.

- and OP has repeatedly voted to hobble the police, defund them, demoralize them, restrict their ability to deter or fight crime.

Please tell us you are not a democrat, OP? (you are a dem.)

You are getting exactly what you voted for OP. Now stop whining.

That's why we have armed Metro Police. Those donut munchers need to step up and earn their keep.

The voters of dc. You quietly voted for this, over and over. Look in the mirror.

Easy for you to say but now try and back it up.
Which candidates ran on a campaign of "we won't enforce any laws!" Was there some ballot referendum on zero enforcement?
Which recent DC candidates did we fail to vote for, who were compelling, credible, electable, and had a solid campaign to take serious steps to reduce crime?
How exactly did I vote for this?
