Can we get a law where cops mind their fucking business and leave you alone next

If you're speeding, have a broken headlight, or are driving dangerously, then cops can serve as a reminder to fix yourself.

We can't have everyone driving selfishly or disinterested in the safety of others.

Most of the developed world has radar cameras that take a picture of your car and license plate if you go over the speed limit (plus a margin of error). Sometimes even if you pass a red light. No cops having to "fear for their lives" at random traffic stops, no inconvenienced/dead drivers. Just a flash to let you know you screwed up and eventually the person the car is registered to (and who is therefore liable) receives a letter with a pretty picture and a fine.

That doesn't serve the purposes of American cops hallucinating "crimes" to extract money and statistics from citizens. Cops in the US are lazy, arrogant, sad sacks, and shrug at real crimes because half of them are criminals with badges and the other half are just former high school sports stars who shoved classmates into lockers.
