For example if speed enforcement was just for the purpose of speed enforcement and you couldn’t use giving a speeding ticket to then justify a search of the vehicle could you safely eliminate guns being involved in traffic stops.

That's a really good point.
There are also some police positions where people should have more experience in criminal and civic law, volunteerism and community activism.
There are way too many meatheads hired and often not even from the communities they are representing.
