There should be no such thing as a "traffic stop" for any reason not involving immediate danger to life or health. Someone is speeding? Take a picture and send them a ticket. Someone has a broken tail light? Take a picture and send them a fix-it ticket. Someone ran a red light? Take a picture and send them a ticket. Minor accident with no injuries? Let the insurance companies take care of it.
The idea that it's a good idea to let heavily armed paramilitaries handle these jobs is freaking stupid. None of those tasks require heavily armed assholes.

@SETIEric ....all perfectly logical, wise ideas, implementation of which could be done quickly, me thinks. Many national reforms to policing - why qualified immunity for cops even exists!! - that should be debated, agreed to....& done WHILE WE'RE YOUNG!! Failure to get something done on this will be another feature, like continuing to obstruct real gun reforms, of having any Republican hold office, at any level. Wonder how many police depts will implement the Op's list by June.....?
@SETIEric all of this.
