When should a citation for a traffic violation be enforced?

When an officer feels it is appropriate
Only during traffic stops
After multiple violations
At random, regardless of the situation

The correct answer is: When an officer feels it is appropriate

A citation for a traffic violation should be enforced when an officer feels it is appropriate. This is because traffic violations should be enforced based on objective criteria, rather than subjective opinions or at random. Option B is incorrect because officers can also enforce citations while on patrol, even if they are not performing a traffic stop. Option C is incorrect because a single violation can warrant a citation, and multiple violations do not necessarily have to occur. Option D is incorrect because citations should not be enforced at random, but rather when there is a legitimate reason to do so.
