re: Should Police Stop So Many "Routine" traffic stops?

Daunte Wright aside, if you think there are too many routine stops, ask your state rep to have some not picky motor vehicle offenses removed from the books (i.e window tint, cracked this and cracked that, unnecessary use of the horn, etc). Don’t blame the cops for enforcing what the legislators have put on the books. It’s really the same as taking a weed arrest out on the police. Tell your legislator to man up and do something about it.

I'm not blaming cops specifically. The are generally following the orders of their superiors. But to think doing things the way they always have been done is the solution you're wrong.

To use an analogy, the Spread offense in college football has essentially eliminated the pro-style offense. Even Nick Saban had to yield to the news ways of winning.

I'm just suggesting new ways of policing to achieve the same goals of keeping as many bad guys off the streets as possible and keeping the publics confidence.

Cameras everywhere is a totally game changer and law-enforcement needs to better adapt.
