I got a ticket for a motor vehicle violation. Don the police here have other things to worry about without giving out tickets for stop signs, parking, speeding, etc.?
While it’s true we are a busy police department and handle a diverse range of urban problems and situations, we believe traffic safety is important too. Besides being the law, enforcing traffic violations has been shown in studies to enhance public safety and actually decrease crime where it is known that police are actively pulling over cars. Further, making a motor vehicle stop is often the precursor to finding more serious criminal activity afoot, such as drugs or weapons in the car, wanted persons operating or riding in the car, or recovering a stolen motor vehicle.
