A new report adds to a growing line of research showing that police departments don’t solve serious or violent crimes with any regularity, and in fact, spend very little time on crime control, in contrast to popular narratives.

So traffic violations are something we no longer want to enforce then? Nearly 43000 deaths in 2021 from automobiles.. https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/traffic-crash-death-estimates-2022
When 3/4 of traffic stops are warnings you know most of them are just the typical person making dumb mistakes since warnings are typically only given to people with no recent record.
No idea why "resonable suspicion" crimes are such a big focus.
Better roads help prevent crashes. People won't change just because they got a ticket. "Drive as fast as you can afford" is a warning I got when learning to drive. If all it is is a $300 ticket there are people who are more inconvenienced from being stopped than paying the fine. People don't care about car crashes.
Then you have to increase fines, make it a percentage of the person's income that hurts everybody equally.
Sounds to me like you just want to hurt people as opposed to fixing the problem.
You got to realize 100% of anything isn't feasible. Having better road engineering, and reducing the number of cars on the road will have results.
The drug wars stopped people doing drugs right?
Why does a traffic stop need to be done by a man with a gun, body armor, and the authority to kill?
