    I’d go so far as to not have cops pull people over at all unless there’s a serious crime happening. They have dashcams and every car has license plates, so they can just send that picture and a report and mail you a ticket.

    They do this already with school buses. There’s cameras on the side and if you drive past when the stop sign is out they will mail you a ticket. It even comes with a link to the actual video of the offense so you have a chance to dispute it.

    Cops frequently say that traffic stops are the most dangerous part of their job, and people are killed and injured in police chases with alarming regularity. Eliminating them and not giving the government’s hired goons a chance to violate our fourth amendment rights is a win-win.
