> I think the pause on enforcement a lot of police departments did after the George Floyd protests is a contributing factor to that first point

Which is always a silly thing to read. George Floyd wasn't arrested because he flying 60 mph through red lights. It was over an alleged crime with maximum damages of $20; it's not even comparable to the violations being let slide.

It’s really frustrating to see those conflated. The fake plate guys are effectively going around with a big sign indicating premeditated intent to break safety laws. Floyd may or may not have even used a counterfeit bill but even in the case where he knowingly did, it wouldn’t have harmed anyone.

The protests merely wanted police accountability, and police didn't like that and started just refusing to do their job.
