Exactly right...you do that as much as possible in between calls. I went on a 10 hour ride along and we ran literally hundreds of plates that day and pulled a lot of people with things wrong...most are let go with warnings. Any time we were behind someone....we ran the plate.

A typical stop with a check took about 5 mins....you can stop a lot of people in one day. I'd rather be busy than bored. Makes the day go by quicker.

 

My brother-in-law just retired from Huntington Beach, CA with 30 years of service. A very difficult job but he seemed to have made his way through it with his sense of humor intact.

I'm thinking I'll try that no front plate thing. Perhaps we'll run into each other. I guarantee I'll be nice.

heh heh...I plan on being a nice cop....so no worries if I pull you over. I actually want to steer clear of traffic as much as possible and work calls. It mostly depends on the city you work in.

There are days he won't find any warrants and days he finds multiples...
