I guess there are two ways you can look at this. Pretty cool and helpful or maybe a way to ease the fact they're fishing. What do you think?
Quote:In an effort to improve public safety and assist the communities we serve, the Oregon State Police (OSP) is proud to announce a partnership with Advance Auto Parts/Carquest Auto Parts on our new "Car Care Program."
OSP Troopers will be offering drivers stopped for a minor equipment violation a voucher that provides a discount on automotive parts purchased at any Advance Auto Parts or participating Carquest Auto Parts store.
According to OSP Superintendent Travis Hampton, "When an OSP Trooper stops a vehicle for an equipment violation, they understand some individuals defer maintenance on their automobile to pay for other necessities instead, such as groceries and rent. The Car Care Program allows us in a small way to assist individuals and families with improving the safety of their vehicle and our highways. Every OSP Trooper understands they can influence the trajectory of a person's life, which is why 'Compassion' is a core value of our agency."
"We're pleased to partner with the Oregon State Police on the 'Car Care Program,'" said Advance's chief marketing officer, Walter Scott. "Advance is passionate about serving our customers and communities and our team members are always ready with the parts and advice that customers' need to keep their vehicles running safely."
Starting February 21, 2017, the Oregon State Police will start distributing these vouchers statewide. In 2016, the Oregon State Police issued over 20,000 warnings/citations for equipment violations. Seventy-seven percent of these violations were due to ORS 816.330 - Operating without Required Lighting. Required lighting includes all external vehicle lighting such as blinkers, headlights, and tail lights. These violations directly affect the safety of all vehicles on our roadways.

I think it would be helpful to post the source of reports like this.

It doesn't see right to me. It's the government giving business to Advance Auto Parts/Carquest. How is that fair to all the other auto part companies?

The OSP is being biased!
Because NAPA, AutoZone, O'Riley, wrecking yards and even small dealerships should be able to profit from this public safety program too!

Yes.
When cops call tow companies they don't and can't always call the same company. I don't see why this should be any different.

So I stand corrected.
Is this Law, or a benevolent agreement the OSP has with auto stores to generate some good will?
Whatever: No harm, no foul.

Yes I think it is a benevolent agreement the OSP has with auto stores to generate some good will.
But as far as I know by law the OSP can't can't help enrich one auto parts store.

The electricity (or power) agency cannot "promote" one brand light bulbs, nor can water department "promote" one brand of water pipe. To me at least the Oregon state Patrol is now sponsored by an a certain automotive aftermarket company. This is completely a wrong doing, so to speak of the OSP.
Yes, the OSP should promote auto safety. However keep corporate sponsorship out of it. That is one way to say it.

I agree. You would think they would run this by the lawyers before rolling it out. Too bad there's not a simple way for this to work, but I can't think of it.

We may not yet know how it really works. Basically what if all of these auto parts stores who wanted to be involved gave discounts to anyone sent with a fix it ticket?

Agreed and it makes me wonder how the Jackson county Expo was able to build an RV park on county land?
