Why are basic traffic rules not enforced?

At quick glance this makes sense. 3 years ago traffic was much less as people were working from home more. Over the next years, traffic has increased.

Source would help.

This.
Why would a cop who makes $75K risk getting shot at a traffic stop?
People are cray cray today & our society loves guns.

Try leaving Gaithersburg on the ICC at 3, 4, 5pm. If you're not going 75, you're getting run over and at least 2 days a week an MCP cruiser is among the scofflaws I need to duck and cover from. And I'm no slowpoke.

Cops, please do your jobs!
