[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the OP that nothing will change without enforcement.  But things are changing/moving, albeit very slowly.  There's little way to have MPD do more traffic stops without hiring more MPD, which both the council and mayor haven't allocated money for.  The budget adds a whole bunch of cameras to the city, and the new bills will allow the city to go after tickets.  Whether they will.... I kinda doubt, but it's moving![/quote]

Maybe if MPD officers looked up from their phones while parked in front of 7-11 they could do it within existing staffing levels.  But then they'd have to give a crap first.[/quote]

If they pursue and someone dies they will be charged with murder. If someone doesn't feel like pulling over, they do not have to.[/quote]

This!

I’m a MoCo resident. Our council has passed over 20 different bills restricting what police can do, just in the last 3 years alone.

When police aren’t working the way you would like them to be, I suspect turning to the DC council will give you all the answers you need. Are the police even allowed to enforce laws? In MoCo, that’s being taken a way little by little.

Don’t blame the cops if the politicians are the problem. [/quote]
