Re: OH: What not to say during a traffic stop

The cops in the older cities of the Northeast and Midwest used to have paddy wagons. A paddy wagon was essentially a small delivery truck with a secure rear compartment. The rear was nothing but corrugated stainless steel, so it could be washed out if, um, bodily fluids were expelled there.

There was a town near Chicago where the police used a modified school bus, because they routinely arrested dozens of people at bar fights.

I don't know why police forces quit using paddy wagons or some modern equivalent. Aside from the messes, I've seen quite a few incidents where prisoners in the back of a cruiser got loose, stole the vehicle, or assaulted the officers. A few even had weapons in places that escaped detection at the time of arrest. Excaliber?

Re: OH: What not to say during a traffic stop

I dunno. Maybe she was spitting. Maybe she was biting. Maybe she was as ugly as homemade sin.

She didn't have to know the LEO had kids to threaten his hypothetical kids. It doesn't sound like she was a Nobel nominee even stone cold sober after sleeping at a Holiday Inn Express.

OH: What not to say during a traffic stop

In Englewood, Ohio (Dayton suburb) March 13 police stopped a female driver for speeding.

She admitted to having two shots and beers ("boilermakers") and said, “I’m drunker than I thought I was.”

She was arrested and shackled after threatening the police officers.
