This is the year 2020 - I'm sure we can do better than this. If the police see a problem with your vehicle, there should be a way for them to look up your license plate and send you a notice, rather than stopping you in a way that could put both you and themselves at risk.

We already do this for speed cameras and red light cameras (a disaster). The main problem with just sending a notice for other things would be providing proof of the infraction. And even then, there would still be situations where the the is a safety concern that would be better met by stopping the person (stuff like DUI for example).
