I like how you blur out the tag then announce it verbally LOL

Most of the female VA cops are pretty gorgeous. I once got rear ended because the guy behind me was busy checking out a Fairfax cop. True story!

[@ScoutSniper3124]

If you don't like being stopped by the Cops, fine. But try to look at that same stop from their perspective. Are you someone just coming home from work or are you a Felon out on parole who just committed an armed robbery and vows to never be taken alive. The point is, on that initial contact they don't know.

good thing they're cops and not actors.

So, does the Officer wipe the greasy thumbprint off of the rear of the suspects vehicle when the stop is over?

[@RoguePlus1]

forgot to add the part on why the they touch the taillights. When the officer touches the back of a car its to leave there finger prints on the vehicle just in case something happens to the officer. Then they can tie that car back to the officer.

lol it's funny. texting while driving is dangerous but let me look off the road and at my camera.

Never cross in between your police cruiser, and the subjects vehicle. If you wish to approach the passenger side, always go around your cruiser because if you cross between the two vehicle's you can be crushed or pinned between the two. Not a good way to teach your officers. That's traffic stop 101. God bless and stay safe.

Do you normally turn your back to the driver as you head back to your squad car? Seems like a good opportunity for a bad guy to gun you down.

Learned some good pointers before going into my county's academy but I also learned how to talk creepy LOL!

[@ReveredDead]

Number one thing. TELL THE OFFICER IF YOU HAVE A FIREARM IN THE VEHICLE OR ON YOUR PERSON.

[@theawesomedude1029]

when you are doing a passenger side traffic stop, it's better if you walk behind your car instead of in front of your car to get to the passenger side. This prevents you from getting injured or killed in a situation where someone rear ends your patrol car.
