[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

That's such a bullshit take.

When someone chooses to flee and illegally drive recklessly and either they get killed or kill some bystander as a result that is purely the fault of the fleeing driver.  They should have pulled over, end of story.[/quote]

A police officer was charged with murder in DC within the last year for this happening.

If a BIPOC does not want to pull over, they do not have to.

Just try that with the Secret Service or the Park Police.[/quote]

Sure. But what point are you trying to make? That doesn't change what happens if a criminal wants to run from MPD.[/quote]
