Sounds like an ideal place to never go to or even drive near

I like it here mostly. The police are shit tho.

Live here and drove across the country, KC traffic is some of the nicer traffic compared to most major metros.
But part of what to understand with the shit police we have is helpful to explain that Kansas City is one of the only two metros that doesn't have control over its PD (the other is St. Louis, which Missouri just took back over this year). So in the city, the police are ran by a 5 person panel, 1 is the mayor, the other 4 are picked by the governor.
And since we've had nothing but right wing nutjobs for mayors for the past 3, they love to go after the "liberal cities" which means it's in their favor to be easy on the police in all forms, and what can the people in the city going to do about it? The answer is as long as the city doesn't have control over it, then fuck all.

The police in my city clearly feel that the traffic laws do not apply to them. I would not be surprised to find out that this is the case in most major metropolitan areas.
