Another weird traffic stop story

[BREATHER]

15 years ago on a very rural road I got pulled over. Reason stated was I turned my brights on too soon as I was passing on coming sheriff. He stated he smelled alcohol I admitted I had a hard lemonaide. Had me do the watch the pen eye movement test. I passed and we went on our way. This was 2am.

Same 15 years ago. Early afternoon stopped for speeding. I deserved it. But when sheriff came to my truck window my rottweiler jumped up and startled the deputy. I got the citation and we moved on . My dog did not get shot nor did I and I didn't get choked.

Well this was a "no harm, no foul" kind of thing. I just found it really weird that she had the info on my old truck even though the plates also showed on the newer one. Also the DMV, the office off Arapahoe Rd, stated there's no way the old truck info should've been connected to my plates. Hmm, strange things afoot.

You're expecting to government agencies to have a workin and smooth line of communication of a simple matter like correct info in CCIC? I have a bridge in Kansas I'd like to show you.
I'm not knocking ACSO.

I would hope the info in there is accurate. Since the info in there can turn a simple traffic stop into a traffic stops with a few nervous cops with fingers on the trigger.

So...she didn't find the hooker in the trunk? Looks like you got off easy!

Gotta pay for that Christmas party somehow...

Ah! "The Christmas Party". You had the blow well concealed under the seat. Let it snow. Let it snow. Let it snow.

Hookers & blow @ Doc's place!

My guess is she put the wrong year in the field for the registration when she ran your tag. If she put in 2012 or 2011 rather than 2014 or 2015, she would have gotten a return on the older vehicle.

Since when are registration years entered in the search? At any given time there is 1 registration for 1 vehicle and registration strings are only used once.

Based on the SCOTUS decision on Monday, expect this kind of thing to happen more and more and more.

I don't run tags using an MDT, so I am unfamiliar with the screen a user would see. When running a tag either in NLETS or through CCIC, I recall there being a place for the registration year. Most fields auto-populate, so even the state is not necessary to enter because the default in CCIC is Colorado.

I have not been in the system recently. It is not something I do on a regular basis, but more on an as needed basis. I will look for the tag screens when I am next logged in.

Yeah "distracted" driving, who cares? Good for her, doing more than the minimum. The fat girl cop in my area is always texting, or doing here nails.

not correct. SOP, it's done all the time. Done for personal reasons may be another story.

That makes sense, must have been the personal thing we used in the case.
