If you are planning on being near, or in Seattle, I would suggest 13 Coins. Voted one of the top five late night restaurants in the nation. Or for some good BBQ, check out a Famous Dave's.

This isn't meant to be political, though I can see how it might start to lean that way. Admin, feel free to move if needed. I have seen this several times before but it gives you something to think about. This guy is real and not military or a police officer but simply has the mentality that...

Keep it civil, guys. Also, "street racing" and exhibition of acceleration are totally different. "Street racing" is a criminal offense and by definition is a willful comparison of speed. Exhibition - meaning a public display or showing - of acceleration is just a $100 ticket in WY. And...

Good idea, Mike. 1 negative comment will affect his business more than 100 positive ones will. As far as the laws go, just don't block the driveway to his business or the sidewalk. As long as traffic is clear to enter and leave his property, and pedestrians aren't impeded walking along the...

That's good to hear, Furious. The Officer acknowledged his mistake, and let you go just as he should have. He stopped you for the plate issue. Once he figured out he made a mistake, he couldn't legally detain you any longer. In all honesty, it was an unlawful detainment from the start...

Just make sure it's what you really want to do. Read up on the positives and negatives of a career in Law Enforcement. Make sure you can handle shift work and make sure your significant other can handle you doing shift work. You're going to see things that most people shouldn't see, and...

That fits so many things. Sad.

There are two totally separate cases going on here. First is the stolen auto, which is a criminal case with no suspect info. So that is pretty much a dead issue until it is found. Second, is the civil matter you have with the car shop. I'm not sure which Canton you are in, but I'm going to...

Don't do it?? That's a good idea. Again, there are alot of circumstances that account for whether I cite them for it. If you haven't been able to pick up on it yet, I'm a pretty laid back guy. If I'm stopping someone for running a red light, it's because they really ran it. I don't mean...

What is it about highway patrol that interests you?

We are all human. We have all made mistakes, have lost our temper, been less than professional, or made a comment that could get us in trouble. I can only give answers based on my own experiences. I'm not a psychologist. I don't know why those Officers did what they did. I don't condone it...

Yeah, that happens. RCW 46.37.390 Ultimately, it's up to the courts. The Officer can detain you for an altered -referring to the RCW- exhaust though. Most Officers won't bother you for an aftermarket exhaust unless they are bored, or it is extremely, obviously, way too loud. Right...

Theresa, I will watch the video when I have some more time. I watched it for about 10 minutes so far, and I have to say it makes me sick. I'll watch the rest of it and comment more about it. Cars are generally pretty easy, especially with a visual memory like I have. They are 3 numbers and...

Our city has 9 districts, and typically, we try to have 2 Officers in each district 24 hours per day. There are a couple hours a day between shifts where there is only 1 Officer per district, and in some cases 0. When I get into my car, and look at the call screen on my computer and see that...

Fastest I've ever written: 11 over. They guy's attitude bought the ticket. Remember, I don't deal with traffic much. We have a traffic unit, and I find better things to do. I personally have been cited for 20 over. That Officer was really cool. He could have arrested me and towed the car...

I've never been pulled over by the UHP, so, I'm not sure what to tell you. Lol. Maybe they're bored and looking for any reason to stop someone. I doubt they are stopping you without reason. I don't doubt, however, that the reason my be pretty lame. "You pulled me over because my license...

His radar was probably a dash mounted unit, and was probably on. In which case it only takes a fraction of a second to know if he was speeding. You can ask to see it, but that's a good way to get a ticket. There is no state or federal law that says an Officer has to show you. Your "fuzz...

I spend as much time away from the station as possible. If I can, I'll write reports from inside the car while staying in my district. That way if something goes down near me, I'm able to put aside the paperwork for a while and handle what needs to be handled. Different situations require...

Not exactly. We shoot to stop. Unfortunately, when someone's nervous system is overloaded with stimulants, one, two, in some cases 10+ rounds to the body doesn't work. So we shoot for the "T zone" on the head. (Eyes, nose, mouth) I don't think anyone of us wants to kill anyone. Not even...

I guess it depends on whether or not you have something to hide. (You said you don't, but others reading this might.) If you do, and the Officer doesn't have enough PC to search the car, tell him to pound sand. If he does have PC for something, he'll find a way to get inside no matter what you...
