Re: Ask A Police Officer

if the officer got a look at your face good enough to make an id, he could/would obtain your reg info off of your license plate and follow up on that by contacting you.

i once gave a cite to a person who was driving recklessly on the freeway that i observed while i was off duty and in my own private vehicle. i was able to see the driver's face and his license plate. i contacted this person by sending his local police to his house and had him appear at my station. after identifying him, where he also admitted to the offense, i wrote him a citation and also wrote a report to the da. if he had refused to appear at the station, i would have attempted to make an identification using his driver license photo. if the id was successful, i would have obtained a notify warrant.

this incident occurred in the state of california.
