Not Good

From the LVRJ: Southern Nevadans involved in minor, non-injury car accidents shouldn’t expect a response from Las Vegas police starting Monday, part of the department’s shift to focus more on serious accidents and preventing fatalities.
“Fatalities are more important than property-damage crashes,” said Capt. Mark Tavarez of the Metropolitan Police Department’s Traffic Bureau. “We need to focus more on preventing fatalities.”
The bureau has lost 30 officers in the past 18 months after budget cuts, but Tavarez said it’s more about being proactive than it is about losing cops.
“I’ve personally been working on this for two years,” he said. “This has always been an issue for us. This didn’t just come up within the last week or month.”
There were 114 traffic fatalities in Metro’s jurisdiction in 2013, 15 more than in 2012 and 52 more than in 2011.
“If you have a traffic crash that has property damage and your vehicle is movable, we ask that you move your vehicle to the side of the road and collect information from the driver,” Tavarez said.
If the vehicle is disabled, Tavarez said, Metro will call a tow truck. If there is an injury, then medical personnel will come to the scene and determine whether anyone needs to be transported.  http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/metro-stops-responding-non-injury-crashes-march-3
What this will do is allow Metro to write more tickets for little things and collect more money for Metro.
It will raise car insurance rates for us in the Valley because no one will ever be at fault for an accident.
This is just a temper tantrum by Metro because they did not get their tax increase, something I think is right.
But the Democrats on the Clark County commission have chosen not to fund cops but to fund road builders.  Go figure.
