[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]David Simon (The Corner, the Wire) put forth an thought-provoking point: bad policies aren't the problem in policing, bad police are the problem. [/quote]

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?

It’s a petty crime epidemic.
