A friend once told about a DPS officer friend of hers who on occasion would pull over a car and thank the driver for driving safely. Sounded like it was well intended but also a good way to get some innocent person's blood pressure elevated.
Anyway, along comes this link found at Liberty Pen, specifically, Police Announce Program to Illegally Stop People for ‘SAFE Driving’ & Facebook Owns Them:
Crestview, FL — In an unprecedented violation of the right of citizens to be free from unlawful search and seizure, the Crestview Police Department in Florida has announced a most insidious program. Driving safely is now a reason for cops to pull you over—under the guise that you’ll be “offered free pizza.”
Maybe that road is paved with good intentions. But it seems awfully intrusive. Furthermore, it could serve as an excuse to pull over someone overheard on an illegal wiretap. "No probable cause needed, your honor, just wanted to reward that safe driver, but he acted nervous and so I searched his vehicle."
