In y 27 years as a cop, before I retired and started OTR, I'd to tell people "You are NEVER going to win an argument here on the side of the road".
A full 80%, and sometimes more, of my traffic stops were just warnings. "Hey, I just want to let you know you have a head/tail light out. GEt it fixed before someone writes you a ticket".
Absent DUI or a warrant or the subject being a complete tool...a warning was enough as far as I was concerned. In an industry where citations cost us so much...why not just ####, let the officer talk, and play your best odds of catching a warning instead of a citation?
I got pulled over in Kanab, Utah with a roached tail light, which was okay when I pretripped, and all I said to the deputy was "Hey, thanks for letting me know. I will get it taken care of".
I didn't even catch a written warning, just a friendly "Okay, cool...have a good night".
Why make your day longer and more expensive? Every minute you're sitting and not rolling is money you're losing...IMHO. -
