Banning most low level traffic stops would deliver benefits to people, police and communities • Minnesota Reformer

Imagine a law that could make Minnesota’s roadways safer, reduce the number of dangerous interactions between the public and police, and help understaffed police departments. 

It seems too good to be true — but it’s not. 

In fact, a bill to do all of those things — by limiting when police can make traffic stops for low-level offenses — was introduced earlier this year by Rep. Cedrick Frazier, DFL-New Hope.
