Do you like the plan? Smart idea?
I’m going to wait until the “plan” is actually written before I make any judgements.
Personally, I’m not a big fan of pearl-clutching and fauxrage.
From everything I have read, the goal is to eliminate it. Do you think that’s a good idea?
Okay, Fair enough. They have approved a plan to do it. Do you like the plan?
Do I think heavily armed cops need to show up when there’s a fender bender? No.

Me neither! It is definitely crystal clear that council doesn’t really approve of their police force. Or they would not have come up with this “plan” in the first place. I think the cops should stop writing tickets immediatly. Don’t you?
Yes, it is quite clear that the Berkeley City Council is unhappy with their Police Department.
I believe that is a sentiment shared by most of their constituents. If not, they’ll be voted out.

They usually only carry a pistol during a traffic stop. Hell, I carry a pistol. What should they do with their sidearm during traffic stops?
enki: altair1013:Not according to the San Francisco Chronical. They state the same 50 percent number.
So they didn’t “eliminate” it then, did they?

It would be a very bad idea to eliminate traffic enforcement as your title says. Fortunately, that’s not what’s happening.

It really amazes me how many liberals are opposed to liberal ideas. So I guess you disapprove of the “plan?” Do you think it’s all bluster?

What liberals are opposed to liberal ideas? The plan is not as your OP and title claim.

It’s just an observation. Take it or leave it.

BERKELEY, Calif. (KRON) – The Berkeley City Council has approved a plan to remove police from traffic stops.
Sounds pretty clear to me.
“Plan”.
No laws have been changed.
It will. It ain’t going to be no year either.

Traffic violations will still be enforced. Speed limits and stop signs will not be optional as your OP and title claim.
No traffic light enforcement, no speeding tickets. No nothing. It’s a free for all.

Angela Davis’ grand babies ain’t got that kind of patience.
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!
Berkeley Slashes Police Budget by 50% – No More Traffic Stops
Now there is a School that should be defunded and tax exempt status revoked if ever there was one!
You know Berkeley is a whole city - not just a University?

No laws have been changed.
They don’t need to change the laws to not enforce them.

Berkeley is such a lovely utopian city.
