Denzel Washington and Rami Malek are filming "Little Things" - a crime/police drama - outside of one of our jail facilities today/tonight. It's cool to see some of the retro police cars parked outside.

Here's how it works much of the time with the California Highway Patrol if there's an officer in the vicinity of where you're at. When somebody calls in a potential DUI on the freeway, for example, the caller's info is then forwarded to officers in the area. A call is placed by the officer to the informant. The officer (...who is usually waiting at an off-ramp or on-ramp, or en route to the general location of the possible offender) is given information about the possible DUI (..e.g...make/model/color of car, direction of travel, location, etc.) by the informant. The officer will usually intercept or attempt to intercept the possible offender and ascertain further. Last edited by Sedan_Clan; 10-19-2019 at 03:40 AM.. |

If you can sit in the berm around a corner waiting to catch speeders, why can't (don't) they let you sit outside a bar and grab the people obviously sloshing into their cars? Is this all just pressure from the businesses? Not saying stop everybody who comes out, but there are often people exhibiting clear signs of impairment just trying to get into their cars or out of the lot.
And BTW, great thread! Last edited by Maynard; 10-19-2019 at 09:58 AM.. Reason: ed |

In SoCal, people drive slow all the time on the left most lanes. Others end up passing on the right, sometimes going 2-3 lanes to the right. This is very risky. All it takes is one slow vehicle going at 65 on the left most lane and there are 20-30 vehicles clustered behind and beside it, with an empty stretch of road in front.
Why is there not more education or publicity on driving on the right lanes and allowing faster drivers to pass on the left most lane? |

Thanks BTW! This thread turned out exactly how I intended. I wanted this thread to be informative and productive, so I appreciate those who have participated. I also appreciate the civility of the discussions. Quote:
The question that you've posed is a very good one. I wish we educated more, but we don't, and I don't know the reason why. I think that's a systematic and somewhat cultural issue we have here in the states. Most people get it, but many others fail to employ such basic driving behavior. Add to that the huge number of illegal residents (...who weren't educated on the driving habits of this country) also behind the wheel on our streets and freeways, and therein creates the perfect storm for accidents to occur. |

Well, as much as I would like to take police action, I just shake my head, laugh OR keep an eye on them should they crash or cause an accident. At that point I'll be a good witness and tell the responding authorities exactly what occurred (...and what the primary collision factors were).
Off duty my objective is just to be a regular dude rather than a cop......barring a valid emergency exception. |

My brother while off duty has had to break up altercations before they escalated. He's even had road rage directed at him sitting at intersections. But he doesn't want to get involved if he can avoid it as he's just trying to make it home. Most lose their "rage" when they see him get out with a badge and gun. Their entire demeanor changes. Now he isn't trying to be some type of bad ass.....but just his appearance will calm down most people involved. He says at that point he tries to diffuse the situation....although he has had a few that keep the defiant attitude and seem like they want to instigate something with him. With those he says he just calls someone on duty and they can deal with it as he's put his time in already that day, and if you tried to "police" everything.....you would never be able to get home.

As a physician, if you're called in to work for a medical emergency and get flagged for speeding, what's the best course of action (after pulling over, of course)?

We actually tend to give doctors/nurses a pass a lot of the time, especially if you're in scrubs with your credentials present. Just inform the officer/deputy/highway patrolman that you were called in to deal with a medical situation. The likelihood that you will be sent on your way is high. In many ways we see doctors/nurses as our lifelines when shit hits the fan and we need emergency medical care (...traffic collisions, gun shot and/or knife wounds, etc.). We don't want to jam you up if we don't have to.
