#1 They are doing their jobs---within the constrains imposed by Society (meaning you, Mr).

#2 What's happening is, after discussions with the lawyers at FOP (Fraternal Order of Police), the street cops are doing precisely their jobs. Nobody's got their back, so they have to watch it themselves.

#3 Self preservation. First priority. When the bitches and bastards don't got your back, you look out for yourself.

#4 Two officers per car for safety reasons, no stops if there's a "sizeable number" of citizens that pose a potential risk; no stop-on-suspicion, no traffic stops unless an obvious violation is observed (and recorded,) all responses to calls within the specified time for response, etc.

I also suspect there'll be significant attrition in the younger of the patrol ranks, if it isn't occurring already.
