Moving in the right direction: "police officers in Minneapolis...will now issue vouchers instead of citations for vehicle equipment violations. The vouchers can be redeemed...to cover the costs of services such as replacing a bulb from a rear taillight."https://www.theroot.com/about-damn-time-instead-of-tickets-minnesota-police-d-1841358165 …
There are still some issues (e.g., why not mail the voucher instead of pulling someone over), but it's clearly a move in the right direction. (And as someone who grew up with income-based issues like this leading to interactions w police... this would have been so much better!)
