Regarding your information, police don't have to run every person they come in contact with. Some people would whine and complain because the officer took too long running their information, regardless of how long it took. Others will complain because the officer didn't. Police are in a line of work where it is very hard to please everyone and it's very hard to do every single thing right. It's not so hard to monday morning QB anyone's job, including a police officer.

But if it only takes 15 seconds, why not? :lol:

If he was the only person out stopping cars at that particular point in time, it would likely take about 15 seconds.

 

If this was a "speed trap" like you claim, there were probably 15-20 other officers out stopping cars, which makes it take a little longer if everyone is running ID's. Perhaps he didn't feel like waiting, or didn't feel it was necessary to run your information. Either way, I still can't figure out why it matters.

Trust me. Get familiar with the area I'm talking about and you will know more. But it matters because this is an egregious use of police officers and doesn't do the public any good. If you are going to perform stops such as these, then you need to at the very least make sure you aren't letting fugitives go. I just want to get my money's worth.

 

I would say most rational people would agree with me. Though when speaking of law enforcement you have proven to be anything but rational.

:lol: So because I don't agree with you, I'm not rational.

 

Do you still speed in this area? If not...I wonder why?

 

Also, perhaps the next time you are pulled over, you should make some suggestions to the police officer regarding how he does his/her job...since you obviously know how to do it better than they do.

If this is against the law it's a pathetic law.

 

Flashing headlights is a safety concern. It can be really helpful to the other drivers and is just good manners as far as I'm concerned.

As to Indiana, specifically....people in Indiana generally don't speed. Seriously...I've never been in a state where fewer people speed. I thought I was a grandma until I started driving regularly in southern/southwestern Indiana. Those people simply don't speed. More often than not, I have to pass people who aren't even going the speed limit....just to go the speed limit.
