Bash cops for giving tickets, sure, but you imply that crime is rampant and is out of control and that cops are intentionally ticketing people and letting crime continue because they need to give someone a ticket. That's not even close to being true.

I called it a management failure to be specific. So include City hall, AB legislature and the police executive.
I didn't say crime was rampant and out of control. I gave two options, either retire a large portion of the speeding enforcement establishment. Alternatively, make society even better than it is now by moving the speeding enforcement resources into something more beneficial to all of us.
Another thing, crime (rape, murder, assault) has been declining since biblical times. There's a good TED talk on it:

Cops can't take all the credit for it. Even so, I still would rather my tax dollars go to more crime cops rather than speed enforcers.
