Black Lives Matter Effect: City Bans Low Level Traffic Stops

What is happening? Philadelphia police will not conduct low level traffic stops like when a tail light is out.

Why is this important? The purpose is to address racial disparities in traffic stops without compromising public safety. Instead of the stop a ticket could be mailed to the registered address of the vehicle.

How will it be important? Minneapolis has scaled back similar police stops, and other states have passed legislation.
