The SFPD has been failing to ticket traffic infractions at all – of course they should only be prioritizing the ones that actually get people killed instead of using these old school racist pretextual stops. This is actually policies that should have been implemented beginning with the “Focus on the Five” starting in 2015 –
notice the difference in numbers since then. From 10530 tickets in Jan 2014 to 336 total tickets in Dec 2023 – is this a work stoppage or how does the POA explain that difference? https://www.sanfranciscopolice.org/stay-safe/crime-data/traffic-violation-reports

Clearly visible valid license plates are important for crime prevention and investigations. If the regular police aren’t going to be stopping for these infractions, then the SFMTA Parking Control Officers should be ticketing the hell out of these cars. Every day in the city I see illegal plastic covered license plates, obviously fake temporary plates, and several years out of date registration stickers. Not cool.

again the para-militarized sfpoa continues to assert power and control over the civilian oversight. all the world’s militarys reject civilian oversight because they enjoy killing humans. it’s in their nature and by design to use a gun or other weapon against any perceived threat (including reigning in their power).
the only solution to ending the dominance of the sfpd is to disarm them just like the city has disarmed all its citizens.

Put it on the ballot and let voters decide.

Crime is less popular than one would think from reading Mission Local and the comments it allows.

Eleni,

As evinced by Commissioner Max Carter-Oberstone at the Police Commission two nights ago, that Commission does not set Policy, it only reviews the DGO’s passed on to them by the SFPD top brass and created by their own chosen Sworn cop Experts and belongs 99.9% to the cops.

Go to SFGTV Archives and call up Police Commission 2-7-24 and go to 3:09:00.

Max says it better than I can and should be Mayor.

The racketeering influenced corrupt organization of the SFPOA needs to be decertified, broken, by the City.
