I don't claim to have all the answers, but I do know where to look them up.
I will do what I can to try and educate those that ask why we do what we do. At times you will think we have nothing better to do but write you a ticket. I hate writing tickets, but do it because it is my job. Here in NC when you pull anyone over you have to do a "Stop Sheet" which includes race, reason, and so on. I have to do that sheet even if I give you a verbal warning. Being in the city I do not do much for speeders or such, but being that I-85 goes right through part of town I do see alot of trucks and we do have authority on Business 85. I know NC Law and what most Police can and can't do.
I am from a LEO family of sorts. My Uncle is a Captain with the Illinois State Police and on my Wife's side, her Dad is a retired Reno,NV Police Officer and her Uncles are retired Reno, NV Police Lieutenants.
I hope that you feel comfortable asking questions and I will do my best to give the best advice I can.
About me...
I got out of HS in 97 and joined the Air Force, did that for 5y 10m and got out.
Drove an End Dump trailer for a company in E. St. Louis, IL
Worked for my Step Dad fixing semi axle spindles for Carolina Axle Surgeons
Quit that after 6 months and went to the Police Academy here in NC
Plan on retiring as a Cop, but who knows, I may wind up back in a truck.
