Recording Traffic Stops

[sbrad]

My agency is too dang CHEAP to buy us in car video, in fact I didn't even get issued a recorder. I use my own and record all my stops so when people are stupid I can take the tape back to the ranger station and let my co-worker listen to it (I think she's done one traffic stop all summer, but she gets a kick out of the people I manage to piss off). Then we laugh and hope they complain to my boss so I can let him listen to the tape. :D .

I can sort of picture you somehow mounting the blue light on the horses head, but how do you train him to make a sound like a siren?

We dont have any of the new fandagled stuff. We have to buy our own recorders. It seems most agencies have the same CAD system of recording calls and stops.

Now as far as the stop cards. I feel they are not going to be of any real value until they add another box on them. Once you put down that the stop was for a Hazardous violation or an equipment violation, the race of the person becomes a non-issue. The only way the card will work is if you put a box that says -- Reason for stop; I stopped this person for no reason at all.
