Resolves YES if the San Francisco Police Department issues more than 2000 traffic citations in either of February or March 2024, according to statistics published in monthly PDFs on the SFPD website. This would be more traffic citations than in any month since February 2020, and more than 5× the average monthly citations since January 2022.
