The real trick is to divorce the funds collected from the agency in charge of enforcing. In theory, moving the funds from the police to instead a fund to pay as you say for social resources, or for medical infrastructure might make sense. But this only works as long as the cops on the ground no longer feel pressure to generate revenue. And also if the cops on the ground still feel motivated to actually enforce the laws and statutes.
It won’t be easy to change, as the cops will be resentful of losing their legal grift, and will most likely slack off on the job, refusing to enforce at all. But not doing anything about it isn’t acceptable either.
