A broken taillight is no longer enough to get drivers pulled over by the Philadelphia Police Department. The city council has changed policies and now directs police to stand down from minor violations such as driving without an updated registration, certificate of inspection, or evidence of an emission inspection.

It is one of two newly approved “driving equality” rules originally promoted by city councilman Isaiah Thomas to prevent racial disparities.
