I live on North 29th Street, so the 20 mph speed limit is a no-go, but those curb bump-outs sound sweet as shit. Is the city saying that they only want to do those in full-out Slow Zones? It seems like they have much wider possibilities.

Not sure if you read the story, but it specifies that these violations are not on the list of things that can no longer be the primary reason for a stop. Expired/forged temporary tags are still able to be the reason for the stop. There are several paragraphs about it and everything in the article.

It seems that the bottom line of all these crime stories is: the Philadelphia Police, in spite of being funded to the tune of nearly a billion dollars per year, are embarrassingly incompetent when they even bother to do their jobs. How hard is it to notice a fake/expired temporary tag? Or someone covering their license plate? Or to understand that the law doesn't prevent law enforcement from making stops for those things?
