In the East Bay, in what's believed to be a first in the nation proposal, the City of Berkeley has proposed ending police traffic enforcement.

No one will be happier than the cops about this. Ticket quotas - and every agency has them - makes cops revenuers for local government. Give the job to a group of meter maids on wheels, and use diversity as a hiring requirement. Nothing says welcome to East Bay like a ticky tack summons shoved up your arse by someone who grunts rather than speaks.
