Mentally challenged and deranged California Democrats are pushing for an insane new law, SB50, that would prevent police officers from stopping “some” cars and issuing traffic tickets.
The bill, recently passed by the Marxist leaning California Senate, aims to address concerns of racial profiling, particularly among African Americans according to the bill’s author.
Senator Steven Bradford, the bill’s sponsor and a Communist Democrat from Gardena, stated that the intention behind this legislation is to combat racial profiling during traffic stops.

He emphasized the need to prevent incidents of escalation and potential harm that can arise from these encounters.
According to the California Globe, Senator Bradford said in February, “We have seen far too many times how traffic stops can rapidly escalate and turn deadly. In this day and age, there’s no reason why Californians should be stopped and potentially subjected to brutality or dehumanization because of an expired license plate. This legislation will reduce the potential for more harm to innocent members of the public.”

The proposed bill, SB50, would extend its provisions beyond African Americans and apply to all individuals, ensuring that law enforcement cannot stop drivers solely to issue traffic citations.
Instead, police officers would be required to document the violation and provide the information to a designated government employee, who would then handle the issuance of tickets or warnings through the mail.

According to the bill’s language, it would prohibit peace officers from stopping or detaining individuals for low-level infractions unless they have an independent basis for doing so.
Additionally, if a peace officer can determine the identity of the vehicle owner without needing to stop the vehicle, they would be authorized to send a citation or warning letter directly to the owner.
The bill also grants local authorities the power to enforce Vehicle Code violations through government employees who are not peace officers.
This proposal raises several concerns and prompts us to consider the implications.
By severing the connection between local jurisdictions and traffic law enforcement, the nutjob legislators in California risk not only undermining their own local revenue sources but also massively jeopardizing public safety.

It seems the primary motivation behind this bill is to shield black individuals from being held accountable for their actions, without sufficient consideration for the potential consequences.
Furthermore, the lack of clarity regarding the process for issuing these “letters” is concerning.
The bill vaguely mentions “government employees” handling traffic violations, without specifying how this system will be effectively implemented.

Consequently, questions arise about the practicality and efficacy of such an approach.
Equally troubling is the potential impact on the judicial system. How can a citizen confront their accuser if the ticket is not issued by the police officer who witnessed the violation but by a different “government employee”? The fundamental principle of facing one’s accuser in court is crucial for ensuring due process.
While it is understandable that many individuals have an aversion to traffic tickets, it is essential to evaluate the broader implications of this proposed legislation.
The notion that traffic laws can be disregarded without consequences goes against the principles of law and order that have underpinned our society.

Not to mention the fact that if traffic laws are not enforced the roadways in California will be total anarchy and chaos.
It is crucial to strike a balance between addressing concerns of racial profiling and maintaining the integrity of traffic law enforcement.
Given that this will likely pass and become law, one can only assume this experiment with insanity will not end well for the people who live in or visit California.
