Best the DC city council can do for you is ban right on red in 2025.

DC Council is pro-actively addressing this by banning right turns on red.

next year looking like maybe a 10% increase unless we get a softening in inflation towards the end of the year.

It's based off of the CPI-U. Next year's increase is looking to be even higher around and 8% increase due to how high inflation has been this year.

There is very high risk to the police officer's career if they try to stop any citizen for doing anything. What happens if the citizen resists, fights back, or runs away? There is a chance something could go wrong, somebody could get hurt, and then the police officer's career is at risk. If they do nothing there is a 100% chance that nothing will happen to them and their won't be any complaints.

I will chime in with agreement on the certainty of punishment being a key part of deterrence Maybe, or possibly punishing somebody with a long sentence 3 years after the alleged crime I feel confident in saying will not do much to prevent crime.
Does this mean that the no cash bail movement that activists have been pushing leads to an increase in crime? It's an interesting question and I guess we will know the answer after the studies are finished 10 years from today.

Basically what Charles Allen is doing is making the harassment of women, stalking, verbal abuse, etc consequence free.
The police may arrest someone and charge them and then that person will be out in the street free to commit the same offenses for the next 2-3 years while they wait for their trial date.
