MPD should have their patrol officers actually do policing instead of sitting under overpasses and dicking around on their phones.

That’s what happens when all traffic enforcement is automated. The mayor and council are all culpable in this. MPD are literally security guards now.

No thats what happens when the digital policing revolution says they should be in a car to respond faster… per the moneyball-esque data.

Data drives the decisions.

So having a cop walk a beat is the same to them as saying someone has an ugly girlfriend.

MPD hasn’t done traffic enforcement seriously for much longer than that - the calls for automated enforcement are in part because it’s not getting done otherwise. The officers don’t seem interested in doing it and having the same people receiving calls means that it’s not anyone’s priority.
