This often turns into resisting arrest with violent results.

This is standard operating procedure for law enforcement.
Not blaming them ... it's just "how it's done".

Maybe that needs to change.

What if outstanding warrants were not automatically included in
the "check" at the time of the vehicle being stopped?

The stop should be only related to the crime or infraction that
caused
the police to stop the person, be it for speeding, a broken
tail light or whatever.* It should not be an excuse to check for
anything else, based on the officer's suspicions.

If a person has an outstanding warrant, the search for him or her
is a different issue altogether and other means of apprehending
the person should be used, specifically with the warrant being
the issue.

If the warrant is for a violent crime, it's knowledge might be
very useful.

I understand but if there is a warrant issued for a violent crime it
should be under investigation and pursuit by other means.

It very well could be.

Some kind of compromise is needed to stop the "profiling" concerns.

It's also consistent with law that a stop for one infraction isn't
cause for arrest for another. A database search is convenient but
not necessarily legal, especially if the initial infraction is a
busted taillight.

Do they issue warrants for such offenses? I can see nothing illegal

the law enforcement's data base for warrants.

You are all arguing the policies police can use as they exist now.

That was not the point of my "proposal".

I was trying to address the issue of people getting shot because
they are stopped for a minor infraction and then try to bolt
because the police then attempt to arrest for an outstanding
warrant.

If the stop was *because* of the outstanding warrant ... fine,
arrest the person.

If the stop was for a broken taillight, expired tags or
inspection sticker ... that's the offense they should be
guilty of and receive a ticket.

I know this doesn't make sense to most. It's not common
sense.* But the ability of the police to arrest
you for something else in your record that had nothing
to do with the reason for stopping the person in the
first place, will result in these
shootings and killings to continue.

Attempted robbery is not a death sentence felony.
Drug dealing is not a death sentence felony.
Failure to pay child support is not a death
penalty crime.

If someone is guilty of the above, they should be
located and arrested on the merit of the outstanding
warrant, not for a traffic violation that it seems
too often escalates into a shooting.

I am not "anti-police" nor am I turning into a
screwed-up screaming liberal like some.* Just
trying to think of ways to keep people alive.




Part of the answer may be found in "policing" the recruiting, hiring,
and training practices of police departments, and ensuring that they
operate in a civilized way that treats everyone encountered decently,
and that maximum force is used only when the physical danger to the
public or the police is obvious and imminent.

George Floyd was handcuffed and on the ground with four cops
surrounding him. He should have remained there until he was able to be
moved safely. Period.



The jury's verdict was completely justified.

My "proposal" obviously makes little sense if one stays in the
thinking that they have been accustom to.* I was simply trying
to think outside the box a little to address racial profiling
that I am 100 percent convinced occurs on a regular basis.

Did you hear or read about the Maryland state cop that shot and
killed a teenage white female a couple of weeks ago?

Very little to no media coverage about it.* Why?

No, but I did read of a state trooper here who shot a kit who pointed an
"airsoft" pistol at him.


If one of these were pointed at me, I'd shoot also.

That would be great if that person never committed another crime but
imagine the outrage if it was discovered that an "active shooter" was
stopped for that tail light between shootings in multiple locations
and the cop had to ignore the BOLO.
I know that is an extreme example but we have to deal with extremes if
you want to contend any significant number of warrant arrests result
in the perp being shot by the police.
The reality is thousands of people get arrested every day for
unrelated offenses to the initial traffic stop, without incident. For
the most part that is a good thing.

record rates, at least according to some articles I've read lately. I just can't get
behind your proposal that puts them at real risk.

I have an idea. If the person being stopped could act properly and treat the officer with
the respect they deserve, then there will be no issue and everyone will
go on about their day.
However, if the person being stopped has an outstanding warrant for their arrest, I'd like

If the lawbreaker gets their feelings hurt in the process, well too damn
bad. Don't do the crime
if you can't do the time.


The issue is racial profiling and stopping people for a minor
traffic infraction just to see if they happen to be wanted for
something else.

My proposal isn't popular for sure but what else can be done?



We have all been stopped for minor offense, like no brake lights, broken
tail light, failure to,signal, etc. They always run the license plate
first, to see if the car is known from a crime to be stolen or dangerous.
Same with the drivers license. Is it legal, suspended, etc. So, you are
just going to have a cop walk to a car without knowing anything about what
they are stopping? Maybe, if black lives mattered, the black community
would make,sure the kids finished school, and did not shoot each other with
so much frequency. How can Chuvin bee guilty of murder when trying to
restrain a violent person, but the Federal Government says there is no
evidence of a crime if a Federal officer shoots a unarmed fat white lady?


No...we haven't.
I can't remember the last time I was stopped by a cop, maybe in the early 80s.
I keep everything working on my Highlander, obey all traffic signals etc and rarely exceed the posted speed limit.


So, yes, you have.Â* You are too dumb to realize what you typed - simpleton.

Cops would be quick to point out, traffic stops solve more felonies
and result in more felony arrests than detective work. Without traffic
stops about half of the drug war wouldn't be able to be prosecuted.
Cops call a traffic stop a "tool", AKA a way to get around your
rights. (searches, interrogations without Miranda etc)
They are not going to give that up.

Look at it another way. If they catch a wanted serial killer on a
traffic stop, do you want him driving away with a speeding ticket and
a smile on his face?



Every case of a serial killer on the loose that I've read about
results in a dedicated and massive manhunt for the
person. Cops don't start stopping every car on the road
searching for him.


You have never heard about a roadblock perimeter around a crime scene?

Hell they set up roadblocks to look for drunk drivers. Everyone gets
stopped and interrogated. There is no presumption of innocence there.

They will even stop vehicles towing boats coming up out of the keys
during mini season looking for illegal lobsters.

You give up many rights as soon as you get in your car and the courts
uphold it. I think a lot of it is wrong but I have to live in the
world we have, not the one Jefferson dreamed of.

tail light, failure to,signal, etc. They always run the license plate
first, to see if the car is known from a crime to be stolen or dangerous.
Same with the drivers license. Is it legal, suspended, etc. So, you are
just going to have a cop walk to a car without knowing anything about what
they are stopping? Maybe, if black lives mattered, the black community
would make,sure the kids finished school, and did not shoot each other with
so much frequency. How can Chuvin bee guilty of murder when trying to
restrain a violent person, but the Federal Government says there is no
evidence of a crime if a Federal officer shoots a unarmed fat white lady?


No...we haven't.
I can't remember the last time I was stopped by a cop, maybe in the early 80s.
I keep everything working on my Highlander, obey all traffic signals etc and rarely exceed the posted speed limit.

On the one hand you say, "No...we haven't." Then you contradict yourself with
your stop by a cop 'in the early 80's'.

Just how f'ing stupid are you?

My thought:


When a officer stops a vehicle for a minor traffic infraction,
he or she runs a "check" via radio on the driver's (and sometimes
passenger's) license or ID.Â* That check automatically includes a
search for any outstanding warrants for that person.Â* If a warrant
exists, the person is often cuffed and arrested .... not for the
minor traffic infraction that they were stopped for ... but for
the outstanding bench warrant.

This often turns into resisting arrest with violent results.

This is standard operating procedure for law enforcement.
Not blaming them ... it's just "how it's done".

Maybe that needs to change.

What if outstanding warrants were not automatically included in
the "check" at the time of the vehicle being stopped?

The stop should be only related to the crime or infraction that caused
the police to stop the person, be it for speeding, a broken
tail light or whatever.Â* It should not be an excuse to check for
anything else, based on the officer's suspicions.

If a person has an outstanding warrant, the search for him or her
is a different issue altogether and other means of apprehending
the person should be used, specifically with the warrant being
the issue.

If the warrant is for a violent crime, it's knowledge might be very
useful.

I understand but if there is a warrant issued for a violent crime it
should be under investigation and pursuit by other means.

It very well could be.

Some kind of compromise is needed to stop the "profiling" concerns.

It's also consistent with law that a stop for one infraction isn't
cause for arrest for another. A database search is convenient but
not necessarily legal, especially if the initial infraction is a
busted taillight.

Do they issue warrants for such offenses? I can see nothing illegal in
searching
the law enforcement's data base for warrants.

You are all arguing the policies police can use as they exist now.

That was not the point of my "proposal".

I was trying to address the issue of people getting shot because
they are stopped for a minor infraction and then try to bolt
because the police then attempt to arrest for an outstanding
warrant.

If the stop was *because* of the outstanding warrant ... fine,
arrest the person.

If the stop was for a broken taillight, expired tags or
inspection sticker ... that's the offense they should be
guilty of and receive a ticket.

I know this doesn't make sense to most. It's not common
sense.Â* But the ability of the police to arrest
you for something else in your record that had nothing
to do with the reason for stopping the person in the
first place, will result in these
shootings and killings to continue.

Attempted robbery is not a death sentence felony.
Drug dealing is not a death sentence felony.
Failure to pay child support is not a death
penalty crime.

If someone is guilty of the above, they should be
located and arrested on the merit of the outstanding
warrant, not for a traffic violation that it seems
too often escalates into a shooting.

I am not "anti-police" nor am I turning into a
screwed-up screaming liberal like some.Â* Just
trying to think of ways to keep people alive.




Part of the answer may be found in "policing" the recruiting, hiring,
and training practices of police departments, and ensuring that they
operate in a civilized way that treats everyone encountered decently,
and that maximum force is used only when the physical danger to the
public or the police is obvious and imminent.

George Floyd was handcuffed and on the ground with four cops surrounding
him. He should have remained there until he was able to be moved safely.
Period.


George Floyd could have said he gives up and he will get in the car at
any time. It would have ended then. He chose to continue to resist and
refused to get in the car.

Maybe Bidens investigation will determine why, once Floyd was
subdued, action wasn't taken to move him to a secure location
like the back seat of a police car.


Floyd fought them when they tried to get him in the car, that was the
problem.
I do fault the police somewhat. They should have called for a wagon
and the 4 of them get him by hands and feet and throw his ass in the
wagon. That was the way the DC police used to deal with things like
this.
The 9 minutes was the error. They should not have screwed with this
thug that long.
