Is Your Car A Cop Magnet?

[Zoomschwortz]

There might be something to that list.

Last month I was a passenger in a Chevy Tahoe and the yellow traffic light turned red just before he entered the intersection and there was a State Patrol waiting for the green.

The State Patrol car got in his lane and closed at a high rate of speed and caught up to us as we stopped for the next light.

The officer sat behind us for a minute or so and then went around us and pulled into a store across the street.

My friend deserved a ticket and had been caught red handed, yet didn't even get pulled over. Guess a Tahoe full of bald guys just isn't worth the trouble

very simple really - he would have ran the plates - a clean driving record speaks VOLUMES.....

Now, if your buddy had a history of speeding or minor traffic violations....another story completely

Everyone had a clean driving record at one time I know that if I second guess myself (yes we sometimes think we see something) and if it's not 100% clear I do not make the stop, maybe just pull up behind put a little "fright" in their mind and then just continue on. There are more fish in the sea and bigger fish too. Just my being a LEO.

I've always been curious about this.

Do warnings appear on driving records? I've always heard some friends talk about getting like 5 to 10 warnings and never a ticket. By that, I can't imagine they would be recorded because after 5 - 10 "Be careful next time's" you'd think they'd realize something wasn't taking.

Maybe I answered my own question ...

Warnings don't appear on driving records per se. Now the dispatch center in my area can tell me if the vehicle was stopped before, when it was stopped and what action was taken by the officer.
