The crime that gets prioritized is the crime that's easy for police. Turnstile jumping? Weed? Basically harmless, but really easy for a cop to ring up some numbers and say he's keeping the city safe.

What makes these crimes easier? A traffic violation only requires the license plate?

That's paperwork, rather than slamming a kid's head into the floor. Paperwork isn't fun.
