I love this story! The city of Berkeley has voted to eliminate traffic enforcement in their city. No school zones. No traffic light enforcement, no speeding tickets. No nothing. It’s a free for all. How long before some ding bat city council member gets her car t-boned at an intersection and starts crying that there were po-leece around? And are they willing to take pay cuts after their traffic ticket revenue drops to zero? I’m lovin this story! I can’t wait to see how it plays out. The cops shouldn’t wait. They should stop writing tickets today!

City will still be issuing citations; but it’ll be unarmed city workers who are doing so.
The Berkeley City Council announced Wednesday some changes to its policing in the wake of the nationwide anti-police protests and said unarmed city workers will now be tasked with handing out traffic citations.

The City Council vote was on “goals”, not laws. no laws have changed, and the police are still enforcing traffic laws.
This is why you shouldn’t believe Breitbart.

You don’t need police to ticket people when we have red light cameras, traffic radar, most of the cars have computers in them, and the US mail is a thing. Never mind that if you’re driving around with your cellphone, you’re already being tracked with GPS. Technology is amazing.

Read the local news. Not a newsstand rag.
They could also be paving the way for autonomous vehicles. Won’t need police for those either.
Sure love the smell of progress
The anti-mask crowd should be 100% behind this. Every single person who here claims that wearing a mask when in public is an attack on their liberty should be applauding this.
@altair1013 Where do you stand on compulsory mask wearing? For or against?
It seems obvious where you stand on compulsory traffic laws. So is your position the same and consistent?

It could work.
Not according to the San Francisco Chronical. They state the same 50 percent number.
Ask me in the appropriate thread. I don’t like subject changing.
BERKELEY, Calif. (KRON) – The Berkeley City Council has approved a plan to remove police from traffic stops.
This makes Berkeley the first city in the country to make this change.
This would be a new transportation department made up of unarmed civilians.
The launch could take months or up to a year.
“Plan”.
No laws have been changed.
Cop out. 
This is a thread about compulsory laws and their enforcement. I asked you about consistency in beliefs regarding such things. This is the very thread where this belongs.
So?

No it is not. You could not be more wrong. I know what my own topic is. This thread is about one specific case of po-leece defunding. I am not making an general statement about anything else. I ask you to please respect that. Thanks in advance.
Okay, Fair enough. They have approved a plan to do it. Do you like the plan?

So they didn’t “eliminate” it then, did they?
