I guarantee you nothing would change if DOT took over traffic enforcement. It would be the same work with a person wearing different words on their uniform patch. The only way it changes is if fines are increased, vehicle pursuits are authorized, and actual jail time for leading cops on pursuits.

People need to understand they’re fucked 6 ways to Sunday if they get stopped by a cop. They’re not gonna obey the law otherwise because there’s no incentive to be a safe driver.

When's the last time you saw NYPD doing any sort of traffic enforcement that isn't easy parking tickets? I honestly can't remember. While I'd love those changes too, let's start with the simple stuff first.
