Put the money toward solutions for homelessness or restrooms at beaches. Use it where we can see improvement — and improvement is not buying more cameras or police cars.
Not everyone who runs a red light is a thug or gangster; some of us are just trying to get to work or home. Stop punishing us for a minor mistake.
