      We need a nationwide moratorium on traffic stops for minor infractions until we figure out how to fix them and to de-escalate this moment.

      Black people are, justifiably, already terrified of these police encounters turning deadly; and now police are terrified of armed loons.

      Structural racism and too many guns are important, hard problems. But one thing we CAN easily stop is tension over minor traffic encounters.

      Somebody has a broken taillight? Mail them a warning. Police should not stop drivers for anything short of dangerous speeding till... later.

          Most of these infractions is stuff that poses no danger; did not signal, etc. It's already wrong to fund counties via tickets. Let's stop.

          This also goes for policing of minor infractions; selling loosies, CDs; minor informal economy activity. Mail them a ticket, if you will.

          How about collecting email addresses when vehicle registered and email the tail light out notice? Pops up on phone, fix on way home.

          Sadly, that really is a law.It's been a law since cars had lights. But they're supposed to give you a ticket. Not kill u

          I know it's law but I think that some areas may abuse it to harrass certain motorists.
