Minn. police to hand out vouchers instead of citations for equipment violations
MINNEAPOLIS — Minneapolis police officers will no longer ticket motorists for broken headlights or turn signals, instead handing out vouchers to pay for vehicle repairs under a new department policy unveiled Wednesday.
The changes come roughly a year after a pitched debate at City Hall over a possible moratorium on certain traffic stops, with some council members seeing the move as a way to ease the racial disparities in rates of traffic stops.
Under the new policy, instead of writing a ticket, officers will now have the option of issuing drivers a voucher from the Lights ON! program
The vouchers can be redeemed at participating auto shops in the area to cover the costs of services such as replacing a bulb from a rear taillight.
