An idea in California is so brilliant, there's no good reason it shouldn't spread to the rest of the country.
AdFreak reports that the organ donation program and some police departments are rolling out "Second Chance," a policy that gives drivers who are stopped for traffic violations a break if they are registered organ donors.
What's not to like?

The police departments notes officers are not required to participate in the campaign.
