Police are not primarily crime fighters, according to the data - Divisions by zero

To the surprise of no one, California cops spend most of their time harassing taxpayers via traffic stops instead of work on solving actual crimes.

The breaking of traffic laws IS criminal. I live in Houston, which has by far the craziest drivers I've seen in the US, and every day I wish there was more effort by the police to do something about it.
