Which is interesting because I don't think I've ever heard defund or ACAB activists ever agitate to stop enforcing traffic laws, but I have seen a lot of calls to stop treating the police as judge/jury/executioner for nonviolent crimes.

Getting the police out of traffic enforcement is one of the pillars of anti-police activism. You see it on this sub with people who try to claim violent traffic behavior is solely an infrastructure problem, or that traffic enforcement should be handled administratively, like parking enforcement. It ignores the inherently violent nature of the kind of behavior OP is talking about.

It's literally like the first tenant of the defund people.
