Why? That’s dangerous for both the cops and the suspects. Camera enforcement for low level traffic issues is the smarter way to go

What’s the problem? Shouldn’t speed laws be enforced?

I get the critique of computerized policing and the potential dystopian possibilities around it. That being said , the current practice of police pulling people over for minor traffic infractions is a huge problem for these reasons: 1 - it can lead to dangerous interactions for either the cop or the detainee 2 - minor traffic stops are often used as a pretext for racially discriminatory policing or other forms of biased policing. 3 - minor traffic stops are by default spotty and unfair. Among a line of 10 cars speeding , a cop will pull one of those 10 over while the other 9 get away
