ACAB means red lights too
You jest but the issue of traffic policing does feel like something one would have to exempt from the general ACAB approach
If done right I’d agree. obviously now it’s used as a tool to terrorize minorities, but I do wish we’d take traffic safety more seriously. Seeing people consistently speed down pedestrian heavy areas 20 over is insane.
Yeah, traffic enforcement requiring specialist equipment and specific knowledge is why I feel that community policing has its limits and even a socialist state would require some form of a professional police force (albeit one that serves the proletariat and not the bourgeoisie like it is now).
Where do cops actually do traffic enforcement in a working sense? Everywhere I'm aware of, excluding very locally contained oddities, they're either also all hugely carbrained and don't give a shit except for sitting at badly designed traffic spots to fish for tickets or traffic enforcement barring high speed chases and openly taunting them is primarily in the jurisdiction of some sort of boring unarmed municipal department and as such they see this as beneath them.
