traffic stops

[rosebud99]

was reading an article about a man in
in that shot at a police imposter who pulled him over and pulled a handgun on him. Article said officers must be in full uniform to do traffic stops. Is this the case here in Texas, do offiers have to be in full uniform to execute a traffic stop?

No. How the heck you gonna see in a car behind you, at night?

However, if the policeman is not wearing his hat when he writes you a ticket you cannot be found guilty.

Ok, but I know I cannot see into a car behind me at night.

Especially with that dang spotlight shining in your eyes and those new LED light bars are brighter than the sun.

Be nice, even if it's a stupid question...

I have not seen a stupid question here today.

There was one earlier, but then M2 retracted it.....

Ok...Ok....before this gets WAY out of hand. In Texas there is no requirement that an officer has to be in "full uniform" to stop you on a traffic stop....no doubt that is some bar room law.

TXI...who said you had no sense of humor??? LMAO

 

[Texan2]

What is "full uniform" anyway? At the coast it is a polo shirt and shorts, in other places long sleeve shirt and long pants.

 

[Mexican_Hippie]

Holy crap that was a joke? LMAO

I was ready to bust the next smokey who pulled me over without a cover.

I once got to watch, while sitting in traffic, a Ft. Worth officer pull a guy over that rode the shoulder past the traffic to merge. The guy happened to roll past a police cruiser in his pursuit to cut in line. The officer was in his civvies, and he sat there for about 20 minutes never leaving his car. I wasn't sure if he was waiting on somebody else or if he was just going to make the guy wait. Either way it was hysterical.

Don't tell him! He might put it on before having you sign, then you are screwed.

 

[winchster]

I don't think those guys are allowed out of the car without that hat.

While it might be generating light, you are definitely generating some serious heat.
Here's the Genset you would need to run just one of those bed lights....

Using Ohm's Law 200 kilowatts @ 12volts is 16,666.67 amps! Don't see that alternator fitting under the hood there Senor.

Hey - I didn't say it was gonna be lit fer long.....but then again, how long would it take ta smoke ol' Smokey?!??lol!!!

 

[scap99]

I dunno, sounds more like you need a directional microwave generator than a light bulb.

But the real question is, would it taste like chicken or bacon?
Sorry, couldn't resist. No disrespect meant for those that wear the badge...
