The best way to do it would be to let individual citizens enforce it.  By letting people drive sell phone users off the road or shoot out their windows.

Good call.  :D

Huh? :huh:

Well, it only takes 5-10 minutes from flagging them down to leaving to hand somebody a ticket for hundreds of dollars. Seems a cop actively looking for traffic violations would easily offset his own salary with ticket revenues, even considering the downtime between stops.

The other thing is, the police needs to fight crime, they don't have the manpower to be the enforcer of a nanny state with so many laws.

How many wanted criminals are pulled over and nabbed during a routine traffic stops.

example...For not wearing seat belt or cellphone or rolling a stop sign/light or expired reg. or failing to signal or aggressive driving or illegal lane change...etc

Driving While Black, Driving While Poor, etc.
