My first thought as well.
What better way to start fishing expeditions???

This is all about PR.
Just layoff the excessive staff. Save the taxpayers some of their money.

there's no excuse to pull over a good driver. take down the plate number and mail the reward to their house.

and it stems from one that worked well some 20 years ago except deputies were handing out money -- up to $50. So deputy, the only good drivers you could find to pull over and hand out money had the same last name as you?

That's what I want to know. Can they nail people who are pulled over for good driving? Is that what this is really about? I like to think that this is genuinely a reward for good drivers. If it really were a fishing expedition, we need to clean house.

You are so right. A big fishing expedition. Why don't they just make everybody line up for a full cavity search everyday?

My thoughts exactly.
You know things have gotten bad when you have to reward people for doing what they are supposed to do.
I'm going to start crapping my pants at work. Maybe after a week of crapping my pants I'll get a bonus if I start using the restroom.

May also be to lull drivers into thinking "this is a good thing" when they are being singled out for a violation ticket.
Often I'll see 1 car stopped out of a pack all travelling the same (excessive) speed.
Trucks are required to travel at a slower speed on the highway in some areas. Yielding to a speeding trucker "may be nice" but maybe the officer should consider ticketing the violating truck driver instead of "thanking" the meek citizen.

Try that in Los Angeles, and you'll start a car chase that ends up as a 5 hour freeway shutdown-standoff...pissing off another 30 or 40 thousand drivers.

Since there is no violation, will they pursue the driver if (s)he does not stop?
