It's pretty obvious that "traffic offenses" are part revenue raising, and partly to make sure every citizen is at some point subjected to police interaction.
They straight up lie in their traffic statistics. If you have even a trace of a controlled substance in your system, or enough alcohol for them to justify it, every single incident is recorded as being "caused" by that substance.
Speed limits are zoned according to the cultural convention that everybody drives five to ten kilometres over the posted limit, and this culture is enforced by commercial drivers who have limited liability compared to everybody else. This results in an entire road full of traffic, en masse, hitting the breaks when a police vehicle appears. And as speed differentials (not speed itself, that's another lie) are the real cause of most multi-vehicle fuckups, this means the police travel in a perpetual bubble of people around them driving poorly. It's a feedback effect caused by aggressive traffic enforcement and police attitudes.
Add to that the proven fact that cops have actual quotas. I worked at a Telstra help desk for a while. It's amazing how easily "key performance indicators" handed down by management can turn ordinary people into complete cunts.
The simple fact is we've had this same traffic enforcement regime for decades, and it hasn't solved the problem of road safety. Because it isn't designed to do so.

It's really telling that in the videos they show at these things, the "authority figures" are all recorded in a controlled setting, and you can tell they have teleprompters or notes half the time.
Meanwhile if they show anyone under the age of thirty, they paint them as drongos.

They've recorded these kids on the side of the road somewhere, and it's in a conversational tone that's completely incongruent with the rest of the video. They've obviously been set up.
