You get what you pay for.

BPD still does traffic enforcement,but probably not for your race / socio economic status.
Poor black folks in Baltimore get pulled over all the time

omg, the drama is insane there. Like the rants folks go one about are honestly kinda impressive. If you subscribe to /r/trashy it's a goldmine of material.

>Edit: I'm getting downvoted for this, but this is objectively correct. Bikers are so fucking mad that they're getting injured or killed, but also get mad when they're told to follow rules of the road that will help keep them safer. The people who do this are just whiny jackasses.
Omg, no they're not. They're irritated when the conversation is "with all the traffic fatalities, how can we make the road infrastructure safer for cyclists and pedestrians? ", and some dude rolls in with "we don't need to change driving habits or our roads, the bikes need to stop running redlights!"
Like no crap dude, but let's spend more time working on the 6000 deaths.
Also, if you're getting down voted, take a look in the mirror and ask... Why?

I think folks have the right to hurt themselves if they want.
That's obviously not the case when a car hits pedestrian.

I'm not disproving it, I'm pointing out how inconsequential your statement is. Who gives a crap about the damage bicyclists do to themselves? We care about the damage cars can do to pedestrians.

Okay, cool.
From my gooogling, looks like about 400 people died in single vehicle bicycle accidents in 2020.
On the other hand, 6516 pedestrians were mowed down by cars in 2020.
They're not comparable.

Nah, sorry. Not fair.
The problems that cars cause vs the problems that pedestrians or bikes cause are in such different magnitude, to bring it up is obviously not in good faith.
Cars kill people, bikes inconvence people.

Meanwhile next door is full of folks who complain about every single improvement that's made for cyclists or pedestrians.
Todays unhinged next door rant:
> I'm so sick of hearing DRIVERS NEED TO SLOW DOWN! yes we do and we're already doing 25mph and I. Some places 15..but when are we going to address and speak on the PEDESTRIANS and CYCLISTS that just dart out in front of moving traffic without looking up from their phones to MAKE SURE it's clear to proceed!..if I'm driving and traffic is flowing steadily behind me I can't just STOP ON A DIME because you just decide to run across! Because when I slow down unexpectedly it causes a chain reaction! The responsibility rest on both! Yes PEDESTRIANS have the right of way but they have to do the same as drivers and proceed with caution.
