Yup, the majority of cars do not come to complete stops at stop signs, in my experience. Of those who do stop, 75% come to a stop well past the stop line, usually halfway through the crosswalk, which is every bit as dangerous.
The percentage of vehicles that make a legal stop behind the stop line at stop signs is likely at 10% or less.
