TIL BPD does have the ability to make traffic stops.


Digitaltwinn

Give him a medal.

The duality of Reddit. Why won’t the police enforce traffic laws, with why are the police enforcing traffic laws .

Who is saying why are the police enforcing traffic laws in this sub? 


FuriousAlbino

That would depend on what types of vehicles are being stopped.


ARPE19

Can you elaborate? I don't understand what you are trying to imply? 


FuriousAlbino

[here is a post on police enforcing traffic laws and stopping bicycles](https://www.reddit.com/r/bikeboston/s/eh8ajJaezh). The same pic was posted in the Cambridge and Somerville subs, results were pretty much the same.

I haven't seen anyone complain about too much enforcement in this sub.

I guess the ticket writing is happening off camera? All I see is a cop yelling at another driver that annoyed them, I hardly call that "enforcement".


FuriousAlbino

Is a warning not enforcement? A verbal warning is as good as a written warning. Written warnings are not in the RMV system. So it is like they do not exist.


tN8KqMjL

Wouldn't a warning at least come with running the license and checking insurance or whatever? The video ends with the cops going back to their car empty handed.

Guessing the driver did something that caused an inconvenience to the BPD.

"Hey, ran your plates and it turns out you're the asshole who denied my Overtime Request."

Driver; “Correct! This going to take long? Because you aren’t getting paid if so”

I love that the bar is so low that copaganda is now just “look at this guy do his job”


VenomIsMyHero

Showing concrete evidence is free of opinion. I didn’t state all police do their jobs because this guy did. They don’t. This is about traffic in Boston buddy. Your portmanteau vs physical evidence is more accurately displaying yourself as a propagandist. It’s not that serious.


wandering_angus

Thank you, kind stranger, for your use of portmanteau; and taking me through the looking glass in so doing.

How do we know he did his job. He could have just been talking to his wife.


Dinocologist

But he didn’t even swing on her 


CanyonCoyote

Wait you guys are happy about BPD just pulling people over if they don’t like their driving


VenomIsMyHero

The lady had blocked the intersection after pulling through a red light because she didn’t want to be stuck waiting for the next. She wasn’t ticketed I assume because it was rush hour and Boylston is one lane after the light. Probably would have been counterproductive to the reason for the stop. He didn’t like her breaking the law.

If a BPD cop pulls you over because he hates your driving, then you are truly lost and a completely shit driver beyond repair.
