Evan Roberts @evanrobertsnz.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Could be updated, but to a close approximation they used to stop 50-100 people a day for speeding/red lights/DWI suspicion etc. Then they just decided not to do that from about June 2020. 34212
Andy Fenelon @andyfenelon.bsky.social · 09/06/2026I do suspect that police generally think breaking traffic laws is ok or at the very least that enforcement is "a drag", because they themselves tend to drive most places and see the world from that perspective. Would explain why tickets didn't bounce back up. in 2022/2023 3180
slutcyclist extraordinaire, rimmin' the world @strwbryph1eld5.bsky.social · 10/06/2026If they don't get to use their cosplay toys they don't give a shit. If they can't come down on someone with an insane level of force and weaponry, expecting total subjugation, they get cranky and abusive 000
Evan Roberts @evanrobertsnz.bsky.social · 09/06/2026The Australasian model is contracting with the police for a targeted number of random DUI stops over the year, and for mobile speed cameras (which have to be moved and require more labor) a targeted number of hours of operation. It's boring work they wouldn't do otherwise. 120
