Even if said idiot, is truly an idiot, he shouldn't die because of that. Although I guess you could argue natural selection, and the fact that he was bound to get picked off sooner or later.
You probably are well aware that everything this pretty much reactive.... it's unfortunate but it's true. There are some proactive things being done, but not enough, and most people have the "it won't happen to me" mentality.

Going back to traffic stops. The officer can always approach the driver from the passenger side as well. I have done this numerous times, especially on the highway.
