Punishment vs. Reward

I think cops should randomly start pulling people over in order to commend them for doing something right.

Like the other day. I stopped at a yellow light when I had more than enough time to make it through before it turned red. I was feeling very self-satisfied, but was then quite disappointed when I scanned the intersection to discover that there was not a cop to be found. But you know had I run that yellow light, one would have appeared like he had been beamed there by Scotty himself.

So I for one wouldn't mind being pulled over and congratulated for stopping at the yellow light. Especially if I got a lollipop instead of a ticket.

  1. Fun Fact:
    In NC for awhile cops were handing out coupons for a free Chick-fil-a sandwich if they pulled you over but you were wearing your seatbelt.
