Denver police giving out Advance Auto Parts gift cards instead of tickets for broken tail lights

DENVER (KDVR) — Denver police are trying to promote motorist safety around the Mile High City, and believe a new program will do just that.

The police department will now be handing out $25 gift cards in certain situations where someone is pulled over for a broken head or tail light, instead of writing up a ticket.

This is thanks to a partnership with Advance Auto Parts, which supplied the department with 100 of these gift cards.

That's pretty awesome! If only this was common practice. I've been pulled over for broken headlights before I was let go with a warning - I was lucky. I know it's not always the case and people do get tickets for this type of oversight.

That is... odd and nice? I mean, they tend to hand out tickets to meet quotas and get money for the department.

Pretty good actually especially as it means time isn't wasted on minor issues that might not be the fault of the driver.
It's a shame that it's not a permanent thing though
