Absolutely they should if the driver has proceeded safely. In fact in many states that is the law. They found that the police were simply harassing people for no valid reason. They also found that something like 90% of the people don't come to a full and complete stop when it is unnecessary.
Like I said, I often am rolling at less that 5mph and can see for half a mile in both direction. I am going plenty slow enough to stop if I have to, but in many instances it is unnecessary.
Police ticketing people for things like that is only to raise money for the town.
I have had people who were at a full stop, see me and still pull out causing me to step on my brakes. Which is more dangerous?
