Traffic Fatalities Again

About this episode

The episode discusses the rising traffic fatalities in California and the implications of police enforcement policies.

Recently Cal Matters, an online publication that serves to improve California Government through transparency, published an article regarding the high and increasing fatalities on California roads over the last 10 years. We have previously addressed traffic fatalities on Briefing with the Chief and applaud Cal Matters for finally addressing part of the issue. Some Legislators in Sacramento are calling for action but have been ignored by their legislative colleagues. What is not addressed in this issue is to correlation between the increase in traffic fatalities and the “defund the police movement”. Many on the left have implied racist intent to traffic enforcement. Legislatures and political leaders around the country have deemphasized utilizing police for traffic enforcement with tragic consequences. On today’s show I will comment on these failures and address the need to refund and refocus police to enforce traffic laws, to save lives.
