You're right, of course, but do you really want every law enforce in every single instance no matter how insignificant? Especially when nothing dangerous is being done. I think that almost every car could be pulled over every time it's driven no matter how careful and law abiding the driver.

Can every here say that they have never crossed the center line a tiny bit when making a left had turn? Do we want everyone who is going 2 mph over the speed limit pulled over?

Again, common sense should prevail. In fact when some of these cases come to court, they are tossed out and the officer is bawled out for wasting the court's time.

Blowing through a stop sign without slowing or looking, or pulling out in front of a car are serious violations that endanger other drivers. Let's let the officers
focus on those.
