More automation in traffic enforcement is just one of many recommendations by a citizen group convened to study more equitable policing in Arlington County.
The Arlington Police Practices Group formed after the summer of racial reckoning and calls to root out racism in the justice system.
On Monday night, the group presented its recommendations to the Arlington County Board.
Among the most notable, the group suggested more automatic traffic enforcement, aimed at taking the possibility of racial bias off the table by reducing the need for traffic stops.
“Having cameras basically removes the human element. It’s just a machine. It clocks you going too fast or it clocks you going through an intersection too late into the light cycle,” said Allison Carpenter, traffic subcommittee chair.
