Will Self-Driving Cars Eliminate Police Car Stops?

"If traffic violations [become] mostly a thing of the past, [because of self-driving cars] the police won’t be able to use pretextual traffic stops anymore. They can follow self-driving cars all day but won’t be able to pull them over. Because the power to make pretextual stops requires a traffic violation, we may see a sea change of enforcement away from traffic enforcement." Some utopian-minded otaku has fanatsies that they'll finally leave us alone, someday.
