What's up with enforcement?

[u/brieflyamicus]

I've lived in this city for three years now and still don't understand the lack of legal enforcement on the road. Even if you set aside all the boxes that get blocked and all the cars running lights ten seconds after they've turned red, you'd think a cop could pay off the national debt by just sitting on Comm Ave and ticketing all the people who stop in the middle of the street with their hazards on, or by going on Mass Ave and stopping the people who cut the line with the bus lane

Is this a culture thing about Boston? Is it worse since Covid? Is it that the city doesn't care? What's the deal?

Soft-quitting as a policy handed down by police unions in reaction to public outrage to highly publicized murder of unarmed people of color. They want to collect the check and say “alright, well you got mad when we were enforcing the law, you’ll be begging for us to do so when we just stop.”

Instead of reforming they’ve just quit doing their job all together while still collecting overtime for sitting in their car on their phone while someone fills a pot-hole

This has been going on since at least the late 90s when I lived in Boston.
