He started to pull away, cop lights him up, he stops.

Now, did the cop do anything wrong there?

The guy was definitely driving under the influence. The issue is more that now "I thought he might need help" is just as good as having probable cause to make a stop. This case was like the least controversial possible example of how that ruling could play out.

Yea, I was just looking at the possible outcomes.

Hypothetical, kind of along these lines, a little more controversial.

I'm driving in a patrol car, see two vehicles on the side of the road, clearly involved in an accident. Both parties appear uninjured. No one appears violent.

Should I:

A: Roll down my window and ask if anyone needs assistance
B: Hop out, start doing an investigation into the accident
C: Drive by since no one called it in

And why?

I would say A is fine unless you guys have some type of affirmative duty to investigate accidents.

Yeah, but talking about the minimum DblJ is required to do seems a bit off the point, when what we should be worried about is the maximum that other cops, unlike DblJ, would be ABLE to do. "Hey look at those suspicious black youths over there...they sure look like they might need my help!"

Saw this on my drive home yesterday. Police are hard at work trying to prevent speeders.

Yea, it's a nationwide campaign.

I'm unsure about the idea of using them for actual patrol.

Relatively good idea for promotion etc though.

Ya it was just sitting on the median in a busy area and I wasn't able to read the text so I didn't see that. Def one way of getting the point across.

I can't see a driver in your pic, looks like they just parked it there.

Could you tell if a cop was actually sitting in the car?

Yes, but is currently fighting for his job back.

Here's how the 3-person panel which determines whether he'll get it back or not is formed:

Quote:

Under the Law Enforcement Officers Bill of Rights, a three-member panel of police officers will decide his professional fate after what is expected to be three days of hearings.

One panelist was chosen by Krawetz, a second by the Lincoln police chief and the third was agreed to by the two sides. The ‘neutral’ officer was a North Providence policeman, which is why the hearing was set in that town.

I should have posted that with the original post but I was being lazy.
