Is proactive policing bad policing?

If a person in a car with tinted windows makes an illegal turn at 2:15 a.m., and they get pulled over, what ancillary offenses would you like police to ignore?

Unlicensed operator
Uninsured vehicle
Unregistered vehicle
DUI
Drug possession
Drug possession with intent to distribute
Open container
Warrant for arrest
Illegal possession of a firearm
Stolen credit cards
Stolen merchandise

Why isn't an offense for an officer to NOT pull someone over at 4pm for speeding?

Why are the police chasing petty criminals around at 2:15am instead of arresting wage thieves and union busters at noon?

What makes you think they don’t pull over speeders at 4pm? Spoiler alert, they do.

Why should the county arrest someone for trying to run a business? Do you see them arresting 7-Eleven owners because they are open late at night?

It’s a petty crime epidemic.

Shouldn't have been pulled over. Take down the plate number and mail them a ticket, racist.

They never should have arrested this person. Just let him go.

Can you better explain your point?

Is it highly focused on the White House then?

Or, they could keep 35 fully automatic pistols off the street, unless you prefer to have these in the hands of criminals?

Selling drugs that should have been legalized long ago shouldn't be a crime. Someone out at 2:15am making a living isn't a crime unless you want to start arresting everyone running a business late at night.

Good to get them out of the street. They could get damaged getting run over, and also could damage people's tires. So careless to leave guns in the street.

You’re aware there are illegal drugs, correct? Many of these drugs are cut with fentanyl. That you think selling them shouldn’t be a crime doesn’t matter. No wonder I had no clue what you were getting on about.

Have you ever actually lived in an area with drug problems? I do. Yes, police should be seeking out and arresting them. The crime where I live, including violent crime, is out of control. Last year someone killed a toddler to hide drugs in their body. Twice, I’ve stumbled across young men who OD’d, including at the playground I was taking my kids to. Cannabis is legal here, and I’ve known a couple people with family members who struck pedestrians while driving high.

Even if drugs were legalized, zero reason for people to have a business driving them around. We don’t have businesses randomly driving people cigarettes and alcohol. There are regulations and licensing.

It’s not running a business. It literally ruins people’s lives.

They’re just trolling, no normal person thinks that way.

If you legalized drugs no one would be killing toddlers to hide drugs. DUI is the problem, not the drugs. ODs from tainted drugs is due to an underground market that isn't regulated. Legalization would solve these problems. Arresting people for driving around at 2:15am isn't going to solve anything.

Do you think there aren’t people selling marijuana because it’s been legalized? Street sales don’t magically disappear when drugs become legal.

DUI is driving under the influence. That influence can be drugged driving.

Arresting people for possessing of illegal drugs and illegal possession of firearms gets dangerous people off the streets. Your privilege is showing.

Here’s a daytime traffic stop that uncovered a stolen firearm with an altered serial number.
