Actually, no. Our founders themselves did not typically have juries for petty offenses; they too saw a jury for such minor cases as unnecessary. That history, going back to our founding, of only providing juries for more serious offenses was an important factor in the Supreme Court’s decision.
If you think the citizens of your state wouldn’t mind paying the increased taxes that it would take to pay jurors more and to provide juries for traffic cases then feel free to urge your state legislators to pass a bill to do that. I think, though, that most people feel they pay enough in tax as it is and won’t see this as a worthwhile expense.
