I appreciate your jovial attitude towards this, but I've gotta ask- if the end result is a ticket for rolling the stop sign, why not just do that and call it a day? Does the difference between a basic "hey, you ran a stop sign so I'm going to have to give you a ticket" conversation, and arresting someone, threatening them with a felony, having them spend seven hours in jail, and forcing their family to scramble for bail money not register for you?
