Have you ever noticed how a cop will give a traffic ticket, and then after the driver pulls away the cop continues to site there for a few minutes?Jaguar wrote:When the judge asked the officer about the event, the officer stated he could not remember any details, so the judge dismissed it.
I had a cop friend of mine explain he did that because he took a few minutes to jot down his notes about the stop on the back of ticket. Since the notes were made at the time of the stop, he was allowed to refer to them during his testimony.
