Andy_Copland 0 #1 February 24, 2010 So what does it mean if a cop takes your details but doesn't give you a ticket, he said he was cutting me loose and to go straight home? Will i get a surprise one "AHA! Thought you got away with it eh sonny Jim!"1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit. Until morale improves, the beatings will continue.

wolfriverjoe 1,351 #5 February 25, 2010 "Cutting you loose" usually means that he doesn't want to go through all the paperwork involved in citing or arresting you. So he's giving you a break and letting you go "Go straight home" usually means you've been a bad boy and if he sees you again the slack he is cutting you will disappear and you will probably go to jail. Taking your details is so that he can run your info, make sure you aren't wanted for anything (warrants), checking your arrest history (if you have been arrested before for the same thing, your chances of getting a break go down fast) and noting who you are so if your name shows up again that night, they will know you didn't "go straight home" (see above). You should be fine, but if the same cop sees you doing the same thing anytime soon, plan on hearing the "I gave you a break, why didn't you learn" speech as you are riding in the back of the car.

masterrig 1 #6 February 25, 2010 Quote Bit more than fairly if nothing comes of it. Nothing's going to come of it... trust me! He ran your information and it came back 'no wants or warrants'. He writes it down as a 'contact' and you and he go your separate ways. No big deal! Ya' got away with whatever... this time!Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy_Copland 0 #7 February 25, 2010 Good stuff. Glad my first offense went down under "Copeland." I made sure he got my 2nd name correct this time with no E as I was sitting there going "Oh crap, hes gonna see my driving with no license ticket last summer" I gotta get a chauffeur.1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit.

Halfpastniner 0 #8 February 25, 2010 How the hell do you keep getting away with getting pulled over, and NOT have anything bad happen? I got a ticket for not having a front license plate the other day. No warning. You are an illegal immigrant with no drivers licence and the cop gives you a break. Good to see where my tax dollars are going!!! Cincy cops must be a lot nicer than ours up here. BASE 1384 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #9 February 25, 2010 He was most likely verifying your identity, checking you with NCIC and verifying that you were not a wanted person, etc. It is 100% normal. If you are legally detained (you're the driver in a traffic stop for instance), then that officer has the legal right to identify you. Name, birthday and address (typically) are asked, if a valid state issued license isn't presented.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

JohnMitchell 14 #12 February 25, 2010 In the little town of Sumner, just a few miles North of us, I've been pulled over for speeding twice in the past year, once in a snowstorm. No Ticket. They just ran my license and plate, pretty ordinary suburban guy. I did get a ticket in town this month for an expired registration on the car. Damn if that didn't just fall through the cracks, what with 4 cars and all. $125 ticket, but I'll see the judge next month and have heard they usually reduce it to $10 if you show up with your papers in order. Shroppy, if you don't get a ticket right then and there, there's no surprise later. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was pulled over for taking my seatbelt off while pulling into a gas staion (really had to pee). The officer must have seen that I was obviously scared to death and had me sit in the front seat of his cruiser. He then angled his laptop towards me and showed me where my license number was on the screen. He said "you have 3min to memorize this number". He never gave me a ticket for the offence, but now I wear my seatbelt until the vehicle motion has stopped, and I can still tell you that license number to this day even though I've had a different state license for about 4 years now.ETA- He even let me go pee before he started questioning me.Muff #5048 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
