So why do traffic stops exist? Vehicles are personal property, police shouldn't care at all about what happens to or in them.
Social control. Y'know, i actually thought we were having a conversation for a second, there... Just like in the original image, I didn't say protecting private property is their only function. And you haven't really pointed out a contradiction - yes, cars are personal property, but traffic stops aren't protecting the car...
Social control is keeping people in line.
