Cops should be like the fire dept, when theres a fire jump in your cars and go put it out, not drive around setting fires.
So the police should not drive around looking for drunk drivers?

The police should not drive around looking for crimes that are being committed on the spot like assaults, robberies or burglaries?

There is a big gap between pulling someone over because they have expired tags in hopes that they might have a suspended license or no insurance and going door to door doing random searches of people's homes.
