all of you need to read the other thread that pizzaguy and I did....but I will answer questions on operation....as for the youngster in Wyoming, he would be polishing my patrol car if I was his captain. Totally unprofessional....I approach a car, making sure of my surroundings, traffic, occupants in the vehicle, etc, etc...my 1st question is always, may I see your drivers license, registration for the vehicle, and proof of insurance, PLEASE....once this request has been met, 2nd question, do you know why I have stopped you...many grt answers to this question, I won't elaborate now, 3rd I stopped you for your speed, the speed limit here is "pick one", and you were doing 90, lol...I am going to issue you a citation for speeding, or I am going to give you a warning....I will not enter into a conversation, nor will I respond to the comments made...no reason to...now...once I return to the vehicle to either issue the citation or warning, I will ask is there any further questions...if its argumentive, I simply respond to the court day...that's all that needs to happen....there are hundreds of things that can happen in a traffic stop...literally hundreds...all the way from a simple warning guy checks out ok, to a gun battle with drug runners...but the above is the basics...

Forgot an important thing for all of you to know....just about all departments today, especially state depts, use a camera. If an officer is unprofessional as this officer was, all you have to do is contact his post, or barricks...whatever it is in your state, and a supervisor will review his traffic stop. You must do it immediately, because all depts are different in how long they will archive the tapes, or 'puter files

I could talk all day about this, just one more point...I have won court cases with the camera too, watch what you say as well...lol
