I agree. And it seems to me there would be less need for such community outreach if we didn't stop people for the sole purpose of fishing for reasonable suspicion or probable cause.
Orin Kerr over at The Volokh Conspiracy agrees, not even remote constitutional: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...ce-cant-pull-over-drivers-to-give-them-gifts/
What they should do is pull over a car who would otherwise get a ticket and then give them an icecream instead. That would be good community PR. "Look bro, just slow down. Here have an icecream."
And in this day and age there would be people protesting that it wasn't fair to the lactose intolerant.
I wish they had done that when I was stopped for 57 in a 35 zone in Sandy Springs. The ticket cost me $345 that I had put away towards a Sig.
a man steals money from another man at the point of a gun. he uses that stolen money to buy himself a car and a bunch of ice cream. he gets paid with the stolen money, to drive the car bought with stolen money around, harassing people under the threat of force, to give them the ice cream he bought with the person's stolen money, in an effort to make the people he steals money from think he's a good, and necessary person. yes, that's what you want in a society.
"We just wanted to thank you for driving safely, Sir... ... and is that the odor of unburnt marijuana I smell?"

It's propaganda to boot, they filmed themselves so they could put it out here to show what nice guys they are. When you give a poor person money, it kills it if you take a picture of you doing it to put in your Facebook account.
