Late at night; I’ve caught a driver who it turns out has no valid license. Too many traffic violations unanswered in court. So a
tow truck is called for his car. His very drunk fiancé in the passenger seat is having a hard time understanding what is going on.
In an effort to explain it all, we tell her that the driver, her fiancé, had two DUI convictions on his drivers record. She had not
known about that. She was pretty shocked. She sobered up pretty quickly and I could see the look her face; clearly some doubts
about her recent life decisions were being evaluated there by the side of the road.
Here’s a fun thing to do with a police car mounted radar antenna/transmitter, while driving around on patrol in a police car:
Activate the radar beam while behind a driver who has got a visible radar detector unit that is on, and suction cupped to their
windshield. Watch the display on their radar detector light up like a little christmas tree. Watch the driver suddnely jam on
their brakes and start looking around everywhere for the police car. Watch their eyes when they finally look in the rearview
mirror and see the police car is right behind them. Speeding is not necessary or required; it’s equally fun when somebody is just
at stop in traffic waiting for a green light.
