[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, just to review, MCPD is conducting less than half of the traffic stops they did pre-pandemic, because they are afraid of "losing their livelihoods", but nobody can point to an actual MCPD officer that was fired because of misconduct.

On the other hand, Mink and Jawando are "risking people's lives" because they want to limit enforcement of low-level offenses. GMAFB.[/quote]

What a remarkably oversimplified look at what is happening.

Somebody upthread said that this bill throws middle school thinking at a PhD problem, which sums up the situation quite nicely. [/quote]

I mean you are suggesting that limiting traffic stops will kill people. MCPD has significantly curtailed traffic enforcement , much more so than this law would do, so presumably people are already being killed.[/quote]

More people are being killed, but that's true overall in the US, not just in Montgomery County, and it doesn't seem to be because of a decline in police traffic stops.[/quote]

Apparently, speeding and failure to wear a seatbelt are two big causes. Some of the very things that they want to stop enforcing. [/quote]
