[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] But that's not what they are proposing. They want all traffic enforcement gone. They want to shift traffic to the Department of Transportation. Both automated and live traffic enforcement (they are doing a study on that now). And then fire police because they aren't "needed" anymore, and shift the funds to mental health services. [/quote] Shifting traffic enforcement to MCDOT is shifting traffic enforcement to MCDOT, not getting rid of traffic enforcement. What's more, I think that traffic enforcement should be shifted to MCDOT. Let the police focus on criminal offenses (like DUIs), not civil offenses (like speeding). Also, state law governs where speed cameras can go, whether it's the police or MCDOT placing them. And mental health services also shouldn't be a policing matter. It's bad for the police, it's bad for people with mental health issues, it has bad outcomes for everyone - why would the police oppose this?[/quote]
