Interesting idea... The resultant increase in salary may in fact attract better police, and that could head off a large range of systemic problems itself.

Or the increased salary might constrain the headcount of police departments and keep them below the staffing level where they have the resources to bother mostly law abiding citizens over minor stuff. Either way it's a win.
