Did you even read your own source, or did you just fall into the trap of a sensationalized title and run with it?
Here is what the cop actually said.
The KJRH anchor said that Brown concluded with this advice: “The captain says anything that happens inside a troopers car is videotaped, and he says that supervisors do review those tapes.”
“He says the best tip that he can give is to follow the law in the first place so you don’t get pulled over,” the anchor added.
Although we all know that following the law doesn't make it so a LEO won't pull you over, this is one instance of taking things out of context.
Perhaps the officer making the statement is not one who pulls people over just for the hell of it?

What he should be saying is "This should never happen. These officers will be punished to the full extent of the law and made examples of and we will do everything in our power to ensure that this will never happen again", not "Well if you didn't break the law then it wouldn't happen now would it?"
This is an oblique way to excuse the behavior and shift at least some accountability on to potential victims.
, doesn't count so much when predators are looking for a victim. To say if they find a women they are interested in, she'll be pulled over for anything.

Whether this particular story is accurate or not this type of behaviour WILL increase. Just as police know they can get away with punching peoples lights out (happening), shooting first and thinking later (happening), lying about incidents even when caught on camera (happening), shooting kids that have toy guns (happening), raiding premises without warrants, even shooting the wrong people (happening). You can be as sure as hell that they will rape girls and women if they know that they won't see a day in court. This is coming to your wives and daughters make no mistake.
Look back into history and you will see that the fascist nazi police were doing it as well as all authoritarian police forces in history. It's only a matter of time before rapes become systemic. And don't think for a minute that just because you are a guy that you'll be safe from it either !!

More like Cujo, I'd suspect. Yeller wasn't an active danger, being penned up when the rabies got him.
