New Jersey's attorney general announced that he enlisted former federal prosecutor Preet Bharara to investigate a significant drop in traffic enforcement by State Police.
Data obtained by The New York Times reveals that between July 2023 and March 2024, tickets for various traffic violations plummeted by 61 percent on busy highways.
The drop in traffic enforcement coincided with a 16 percent rise in traffic fatalities this year, highlighting the potential dangers linked to reduced summons.
The slowdown in enforcement began following a report that revealed racial disparities in traffic stops, prompting a reevaluation of the State Police's approach.
