Figured a joke about popping my legal cherry was inappropriate so I kept that one to myself and just took the ticket.
Hahaha. I would die if someone said that to me.
Here’s what happens a lot of time. You have different officers that specialize in certain areas. Assigned to units or whatever. So the odds of getting “off” with a traffic guy is low.
If you encounter a SWAT guy who normally handles high risk calls and deals with search warrants then the traffic violation “if minor” is likely to receive a verbal warning. Even in smaller departments you’ll find certain guys assigned to these units.
Traffic is honestly only 10% or less of what your municipality officers deal with. Most normal people have no clue what really happens. The city’s want it that way too. They don’t want the customers and residents to know about all the foot chases and fights that happened just a block away the night before. Or about all the neighbor shootings, stabbings, robberies and home invasions.
Sorry Ill step off the soap box. This is why I avoid talking about this stuff.

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?
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.
I don't see one good reason to ID every passenger in a vehicle for a routine traffic stop as our OP stated is his MO. He blatantly admitted to finding many warrants that way, but unless the person in question has committed or is suspected of committing a crime and not just a passenger in a vehicle or walking down the street freely... you can ask, but they are not required by law to provide you that information. If you arrested them at this point, would that not be an unlawful arrest?
Exactly. You’re correct.
To require that information be provided it has to part of constitutional detention “stop”. But you can ask all you want. There’s nothing wrong with that either. Make sense2 -

Do cops really pull people over just for window tint being "too dark" or are they just phishing to see if there is something more to be found?1

Yea, I can imagine. Do you train cardio whilst wearing a weighted vest? Or do you just do weights?1 -

Well, no, because this thread clearly is ask THE cop. Not some random cop.
I will say that this thread has caused me to talk about more cop stuff than I have my previous two years here.
That's because I used to think you weren't a real cop. I thought you were a stripper cop.
No Mel it’s because I’ve done this job a long time and I don’t like to talk about some of the stuff I’ve seen. I try to be a normal guy with y’all. I like that I can do that here. In my real life I can’t relax the same way as I do here.

Something's can't be unseen. That must be one of the toughest part of the jobs. Ever dated anyone you've stopped/arrested? Ever had a woman flirt her way out of trouble?1 -

ever use your cuffs while "off duty"?1 -
Just my thoughts - so cops pull people over for speeding, then don't give a ticket and just a "warning". Are these warnings documented? I was told no and feel they should be. I've been pulled over 3 times for speeding (all under 10 over) and each time received a ticket. The 3rd time I was 9 months pregnant and after the cop said he was giving me a ticket I let him know warnings should be documented and he didn't appreciate my "commentary" he said.
All stops are documented. I take it you’re meaning you given a piece of paper.
There are two types of warnings. Verbal and written. I assure you they all are documented via body cam, in-car cam and paper when it’s issued.
Even if you don’t receive paper with your verbal warning the officer has to complete a traffic stop form. These ensue that the officer is not racially profiling.1 -

No...but then again I'm not a cop. Although I've had women ask me if I'm a cop.1 -

Haha. Nope1 -
So are you secretive in your real life about being a cop?
A lot of cops i’ve met don’t really tell people they’re cops. Do you do that as well? Not a judgement question just wondering
There is a lot of distaste for blue these days is all1 -

It’s a crime and yes you can. Again a traffic safety officer will stop these violations a lot.
But it is also a legal reason to stop a car if you think other crime is occurring inside.1 -

Yes
Yes, you've been called to an alien abduction or yes, you've seen a UFO or both
And was anyone wearing a tin foil hat when you got there?1
