To the surprise of no one, California cops spend most of their time harassing taxpayers via traffic stops instead of work on solving actual crimes.

Surprise, surprise!

The real surprise is that people tolerate it

I don't live in the US. But I really wouldn't want unpoliced roads. There are enough dangerous, angry morons on the streets who don't care about the rules and endanger the people around them.

I think it's absolutely necessary to police traffic. The only other option would be to get rid of private powered vehicles, which would also be a good option.
