- pbrb 4y agoIn Chicago? Like, in the city proper and not the suburbs? I've lived most of my life in Chicago, and it's basically unheard of to get pulled over for a traffic violation. Lately, blatant disregard for traffic laws in Chicago has gotten so bad that it's a little terrifying. It's become a common thread on the r/chicago subreddit with regular posts pointing out how bad it's gotten and how police never stop anybody. Here are two posts from yesterday alone: https://www.reddit.com/r/chicago/comments/tzyrmn/red_lights_are_discretionary_now/ https://www.reddit.com/r/chicago/comments/tzyrmn/red_lights_... https://www.reddit.com/r/chicago/comments/u0x3sd/im_getting_reeeaaaaaallll_sick_of_cars_not/ https://www.reddit.com/r/chicago/comments/u0x3sd/im_getting_... EDIT: Wanted to point this out b/c I think it's a larger problem in general of people not following rules of the road, not isolated to specific cities.
- colinmhayes 4y ago> In Chicago you have police actively pulling people over all the time Lived in Chicago for 25 years, this is pretty much the opposite of my experience. Seems like 90% of the time someone is pulled over here they're being arrested so I don't think it's because of a traffic violation.
