This little "feel good" story was buried on page 7B of the Dallas Morning News.
Little Elm cops "will look for drivers abiding often-overlooked laws such as stopping completely at a stop sign and using a turn signal to change lanes" and will reward those driver's with gift cards donated from local merchants.
Am I the only one that is cocking an eyebrow at this? Cops think it is OK to stop someone for no reason other than to do a good deed? And we all think this is acceptable?
If the headline read: "Little Elm Police Adopt Policy To Stop Law Abiding Drivers" would someone care then?
Have I ever used so many question marks in one post??????
The only good news is that any evidence discovered from the stop can't be used against the driver so long as the Exclusionary Rule still exists. (Which the Supreme Court is slowly eroding, by the way.)
