On Duty…..
Last Thursday I was on duty at 11:00am. I had just stopped a kid who had been driving like an idiot. Thirty miles an hour over the speed limit, rapid lane changes, and following too closely. I contacted the kid, and he met my criteria listed in our “Car Stops” chapter.
He was polite, he was HONEST, and he had all his paperwork in order. He realized he had screwed up and he had a spotless driving record. I did what many of my partners don’t understand. I gave him a warning.
