TrendCT (https://trendct.org/tag/traffic/)
Using the newly released set of traffic stop data, we look at which violations lead to more tickets, which departments tend to give more warnings, and look at department traffic stops by race.
Police-issued warnings are difficult to track because there usually is no paper trail. Each department’s policy determines how thoroughly officers track verbal or written warnings. But we wanted to analyze the data that was available, no matter how incomplete it was.
The day before the Fourth of July was the fifth-most-ticketed day last year in Connecticut, behind only the Friday before Labor Day.
