I agree. Plus issuing tickets by mail then requires a fine to be paid by mail or a court appearance. If the defendant doesn't comply to either a warrant will be issued. Then what? Send them another letter.

I really hope not. But it's very possible.

The main duty of police are to enforce the laws. Common duties of police include controlling traffic, patrolling neighborhoods, responding to emergency calls, writing citations, delivering warrants, arresting violators and submitting incident reports in a timely manner.

However the do not have to protect anyone that isn't in their custody.
"Neither the Constitution, nor state law, impose a general duty upon police officers or other governmental officials to protect individual persons from harm — even when they know the harm will occur,” said Darren L. Hutchinson, a professor and associate dean at the University of Florida School of Law. “Police can watch someone attack you, refuse to intervene and not violate the Constitution."
The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that the government has only a duty to protect persons who are “in custody,” he pointed out."

That could be the future. I liked the built in spike strip. Perhaps today's cops should automatically put a spike strip in front of the tires of cars that they pull over. That would end a lot of people trying to do what Daunte tried to do. He tried to run after he was caught. If you knew that your tires would get spiked and would go flat one would be much less likely to run and any chases would be rather short.
It's news that always sells.

Such enforcement is essentially a revenue generating scam.
Tactical emplacement to maximize fines , vauge signage, among other issues with automated systems.

In some ways that's true, some ways it's not.
I take it as being the perfect storm of both stupidity and negligence.

That's because most are not armed with pistols.
Still it would be beneficial to try out unarmed police in the states.

What did he do wrong? Did I miss something on the news?
Well, the same exact thing if someone had refused to pay the ticket after having it given by an officer in person. Not sure what difference the mode of initial delivery makes.

I would prefer unarmed robotic police officers and surveillance cameras rather than heavily armed robocops to enforce traffic laws.
My former (very former) computer hardware service guy
got pulled over in Utah for having no front plate. (MI doesn't
have front plates.) It turns out that he had chopped up
people in his trunk. That was the tip of the iceberg....it turned
out that he's a serial killer.
So while I oppose stopping without good reason, it is a useful
opportunity to discover other crimes, eg, outstanding warrants,
murder victims.
BTW, he's now in prison for life (one escape attempt a few years
ago notwithstanding).
This is state government we're talking about. Also,
many people don't renew plates when they sell a car.
The right thing to do is keep my money in me
own pockets....not in government coffers.

I am guessing the cost of a robotic police officer is around $150,000 in addition to the cost of its human companion supporting police officer. Traffic fines might have to be doubled in order to fund such an elaborate policing scheme. However, if each robotic cop on average during its service career saves just one human life from being severely injured or killed during a dangerous traffic stop, then I would be more than happy to pay twice as much as I would now for getting a traffic citation.
Listening to NPR today, I heard all about how only blacks are
being killed by cops, that they're "summary executions", &
more of this leftish dishonest garbage to inflame racial hostilities.
Twice as many whites are shot by cops. It doesn't ever make
major news or cause demonstrations. If black deaths were
reduced to the rate of white victims, that would still be horrible.
But worse than that...it underestimates the danger cops pose.
It's a problem for all of us...especially men (95% of the victims).
