Police NEED to stop giving warnings and start giving expensive tickets.

AndrewRNAug 5 at 7:05 AM

Hard for me to fathom why the city doesn’t have more police presence on Meridian. People regularly drive like maniacs on that street.

IndyhoosierssAug 5 at 8:36 AM

Traffic enforcement needed everywhere in this city.

munchkinbirdAug 5 at 11:17 AM

There is little traffic enforcement anywhere except for speed traps on little traveled roads. This city and state need to stop with the red, blue and purple bus lines and other frivoloties for a few and hire for an enforcement division. This city was growing and becoming a destination spot until the last few years. If we don't put smart people back in office and get tougher on crime, all the good will continue to be undone. It's a shame people are dying because the irresponsible are ignored and recklessness rules!
