So they are handing out more than ever.
Ha ha you fell for that fluff? 2600 tickets sounds like a lot but it's less than the amount of speeding tickets generated in any given week in this city. People are still texting and talking on their phones like the law never existed. It's cute and all that officers are dressing up as homeless to hand out more tickets but the truth is that they are stooping to these levels because as long as the fines are paltry and no demerits are handed out people aren't going to stop using their phones. Right now the fine is essentially the equivalent of your average photoradar ticket to which people shrug their shoulders, pay the toll and make note not to speed in that intersection next time. Make the fine $300+ and 3 demerits and people will start taking the law more seriously.
