The only time the average citizen encounters the police is during a traffic stop. Speeding tickets are (unconstitutionally) being held to the "preponderance of evidence" standard. Murderers and rapists are often acquited or have rulings overturned for technicalities that closely mirror how routine traffic stops are handled. The average citizen may be inclined to think that in court, murderers and rapists recieve better treatment.
Not a great PR move with the general public IMO.
