Yup. The angle of the wheels and car allow you someplace to get cover when bullets start flying (behind engine block and wheels). Also he'll park more to the left than the violator to create a "lane" of protection from traffic on the approach to the vehicle.surprise_i'm_armed wrote: Notice also that many LEO's will park their cruiser at an "11 o'clock" position behind the
person' they've stopped. The left front of the cruiser will now present somewhat of a
cushion when an idiot driver crashes. I guess the LEO can swivel his dashcam so that
it still captures the stop correctly.
There are great reasons for Driver vs Passenger side approach. I use both depending on the situation, roadway, and time of day.
