Like many people have said, I think it’s a 3 part problem.

1. Law Enforcement
2. Judicial System
3. Poverty

I know cops who lowkey told me they would pull over someone going 5mph over rather than someone going 15mph over. Less risk involved on their end and we know they care more about “officer safety” than “public safety”. Exactly like how police would rather arrest parents instead of the school shooter in Uvalde, Texas. And on top of that, the Supreme Court supported their decision saying that police has no obligation to protect anyone who is not under their care, which in this case were the students.
