Q. Ok, so I received a 24-hour suspension, and will most likely be receiving a 15 day suspension. Do police officers scan license plates or anything to "test" vehicles. Can police figure out that you are driving while suspended through any other means other then pulling you over? Asked by Ringo - Sun Mar 1 15:25:08 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. When the suspension is added to your record, it will be attached to your drivers license and any vehicle you have registered in your name. So before you get pulled over and if they have the computers in their cruisers, when they run your plate it will show you under a suspension. I don't suggest you take the risk, especially if it's only for 15 days. If you get caught, the suspension will be much longer and you will have extra fines to pay. You are even subject to arrest for driving on a suspended license and the vehicle you are driving, regardless if it's registered to your or not, is subject to impound.

Like Most Shocking or Most Amazing Videos. What I did notice is, when a police pulls over a driver and stopping behind him and after getting out and approaching the vehicle, they always to touch the tail lights while walking towards the drivers seat. What is the intention of that? Asked by Sam - Wed Feb 20 16:14:58 2008 - - 7 Answers - 2 Comments A. Younger cops do it to leave a "print" or a DNA leave in order to associate themselves with the auto in case something escalates - older cops as myself were trained to knock on the rear end of the auto to distract the operator and passengers in order for us to check the car more quickly and eliminate any element of surprise for anyone other than the stopping officer(s). Answered by unknown - Wed Feb 20 16:24:04 2008 How do you become a administrative police officer?
Q. Rather than being a police officer who patrols, can you simply be a police officer that stays inside the police depart who works in the offices and doesn't have to be assigned on patrol? Asked by Joe - Sun Apr 19 18:43:07 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. Every police officer starts on patrol. Most departments have civilian admins, but injured officers and officers under investigation (e.g. officer involved shooting) are often given admin duties. Some departments may have some sort of uniformed admin position, but that's not as common as you think, and you'd have to do a few years on patrol before being transferred to any other unit. If you ask me, there's no reason to be a cop if you just want to sit behind a desk. Sounds like you're afraid of getting hurt, but still want the badge and the gun. That points toward some personality issues. Answered by John C - Sun Apr 19 19:09:15 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Police" |
