Traffic Stops

From Using police observations on traffic stops to inform policy
Survey responses from 1,036 police patrol officers or deputies:

Summary of survey's considerations:

"Looking at the context of police traffic stops and the insights of officers in the survey may lead to reform for the police and their stakeholders as they work to create a mutually beneficial future for traffic and community safety. Among these are three ways to alter police practice to eliminate unwarranted intrusion into the lives of their citizenry, and also practices that enhance the safety of officers on the streets:

1. The first consideration is to capture the data about traffic stops in your jurisdiction and then act on that information. 
2. A second consideration is to use the outcomes of the Police1 survey to engage officers and the public to discern levels of local support for the continuance (or alteration) of police responsibilities for traffic enforcement.
3. A final consideration is to address officer proficiency in dealing with persons who are non-compliant."
