Law question

[Catnip]

Does the officer have to be wearing a hat at the time of a traffic stop?

If he/she is required to have the hat, does not having the hat (and being shown on the officer's video) void the ticket?

[silversol]

no if the are in uniform your not going to get out of it that way.

please tell me this is a joke evan... lol

lol, nah. I've heard it from multiple people.

Not true, and pretty stupid to come up with also.

[Z0_o6]

...no seriously it MUST be a joke. You think a technicality that small should get you off the hook? Maybe if the guy like.... didn't put his name and badge number on the ticket, pulled you over in an un-marked car, and then beat you like Rodney King. Other than that, I hate to say it, but you are screwed. I would just show up and hope that the judge is having a really good day.

Is it just me or are hats not even in the uniform of some departments? I have never seen a Gwinnett Officer in a hat.

We were just talking about this the other day. It doesn't matter if they have a hat on or not.

momentary lapse of judgment :crazy:

well GSP are required to wear one and put it on immediately when you leave their vehicle. if their superviser sees them they can get writen up. but either way. its not going to get you out of a ticket.

[Mantooth]

I love old wives' tales.

[FasTech]

[Elbow]

I heard if the cop doesn't beep his siren once you can arrest him for false advertising.

[Kevykev]

holy Shh i laughed in real life to that one..

[nreggie454]

I heard a cop isn't allowed to write you a speeding ticket without asking "Where is the fire, son?" after Stevens v. Connecticut where Chip Stevens of New Haven was rushing to a fire at his house, stopped by police, and prevented from saving his chickens. Make sure that the cop asked or you could walk.

[Vteckidd]

LOL cobb county doesnt even have hats. Neither does Paulding County

[Elbow]

I just truly read the question again and rolled died shit on my face laughed.
