    I have another question.

    Have you ever let someone get out of a ticket you were sure they deserved and why did you let them off the hook?

    Of course. I speed like you wouldn’t believe. I’m not a hypocrite cop. I don’t write speeding tickets. I simply use the speeding as a legal reason to stop the car to see who and what is inside. I couldn’t care less about them speeding, unless it’s reckless (+25 over).

    I look for criminals to arrest when I work, not to write tickets to normal people. I have the highest arrest numbers at my department and write the least amount of tickets.

    nevermind

    Do you judge people who keep a handcuff key on their keychain?
    I don’t judge people. I simply profile.

    As in racial profile? :o

    Criminal profile.

    I was actually kidding but it does happen. I was once pulled over and my son was in the passenger side next to me and the officer immediately asked for his ID as well as mine. Not sure why as I was the one driving and not him but I just got a racist vibe from the dude. Maybe he thought we were illegal or something. That's always an assumption where I live. I hate it.

    I ID everyone in the car, every time. A traffic stop is considered an investigation and I have the right to ID everyone in the car. I find a lot of warrants that way.

    Arent you only allowed to ask for ID if a person has committed or is suspected of committing a crime?

    I stopped a hot, snobby *kitten* not long ago. I cited that *kitten* and her dean or changed when she realized I wasn’t falling for her flattery. It’s offending actually.

    Just be real and be honest, own up to your *kitten*, and I’ll usually always send you away with a warning. Try and use teasing good looks and flattery to persuade me, I’ll ticket that *kitten*.

    thats a lot of kittens

    I’m new. It really autofills with “kitten”??

    We both know the answer to this question. Avoidance game is on point however.

    Have you ever apprehended a perp and upon driving them back to the jail have you ever stopped to #2? Now, do you leave the perp in the car or do you bring them inside and handcuff them to a pipe in the bathroom? Ya know, for safe keeping?

    If you have that emergency you have to have another officer stand by with the prisoner while you do what you have to do. I luckily have never had that happen but that has always been a fear for sure.

    I look for criminals to arrest when I work, not to write tickets to normal people. I have the highest arrest numbers at my department and write the least amount of tickets.

    How long have you been in law enforcement?

    You can ask anyone anything. Depending on the scenario the individual can just refuse to provide that information. If however as you put it “is part of that investigative stop” they refuse to provide the information then they are subject to being arrested for “resist, delay and obstruction” charges.
