The money saved could be used to [better train detectives](https://www.reddit.com/r/stoprape/wiki/index/#wiki_resources_for_law_enforcement) and take a serious bite out of violent crime.
Does the study make any distinction between traffic stops for speeding vs traffic stops for vehicle non-compliance (out of registration, stolen vehicle, break light, etc)? Cus the traffic cams presumably only check for speeding, while traffic cops could pull someone over for other reasons. So those are two separate data sets.
Also, how would speed ticket cops clock the drivers race? I thought they use radar built in to the squad car to determine speeding, not visual cues.
Perhaps they are pulling people over and letting the white folks go with/without a warning, but they issue citations more to black drivers.
Seems like a psy-op to garner support for speed cameras
