YouTube Description
as posted by the channelRead the story
Honolulu police and city leaders vowed to flood West Oʻahu with law enforcement after a series of shootings last year. The area definitely saw an uptick in the police presence, residents say, but that came with a sharp spike in traffic tickets.
A Civil Beat review of a sample of court cases from the state Judiciary found the number of traffic citations in District 8, which stretches from ʻEwa to Kaʻena Point, rose from 146 in July 2024 to 294 in December, four months after the surge began.
Police say increased traffic enforcement was part of their plan. More traffic stops, they say, helps calm criminal activity.
Many residents welcome the increased enforcement of traffic laws, but others believe their community has been long neglected and this is another example of how they’ve been unfairly targeted.
