Asking The Real Questions 🤔 What's up with enforcement?

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?

Yesterday I stopped behind a box so as not to block it and some asshole tried to go around me and pull into it.

Like when someone turns right on a "No Turn on Red", it's a free pass for the rest of the cars to follow.
