I can't imagine this being a good thing. A past article quoted somebody as basically saying people would be trusted to use their best judgment to keep their vehicles in a safe operating condition.

This doesn't even help low-income folks because the fee isn't going away, the name is just changing.

The thing is, cops aren't mechanics, so leaving it up to them to decide if someone they pulled over is driving a "safe" vehicle doesn't make sense.

Until, of course, I remembered that they don't need to be right to use their power against people they don't like.
