This killing was particularly heinous as the grandmother involved was unarmed. She was not a criminal getting away that will kill other Americans. The police officer had the license plate number and a dented car. I think that is called an insurance problem.
Traffic stops can be removed from the dangers Americans face in their lives. Cameras within the police car can easily see any traffic violations. Traffic tickets can be mailed to the driver and/or with the judges authorization of a hold on the driver's license renewal to bring them in to pay their fines. Traffic stops have become more and more problematic. Why not just protect the police and the citizens and conduct traffic violations online with cameras.
