Jamie McBride blasts a Los Angeles city proposal to enlist unarmed civilians to enforce traffic violations instead of the Los Angeles Police Department.
, Oakland and Philadelphia in using unarmed city workers to enforce"safety-related traffic violations" such as speeding."I have recovered scores of guns during traffic investigations and violent suspects. I also remember an incident where I tried to stop somebody for going through a stop sign and we had a pursuit. During the pursuit, the passenger leaned out, was firing rounds at me," McBride shared.
Along with civilian policing, the proposal recommends investing in"self-enforcing infrastructure." Narrower streets, dedicated bike lanes and more clearly marked pedestrian crosswalks would naturally slow traffic and discourage drivers from speeding, the report said.give traffic violators vouchers instead of tickets to repair broken tail lights, for example. This measure would make the streets safer while avoiding perpetuating"enforcement disparities," the report said.
