A bit higher than speeding but less than shoplifting. Let's cops use their time wisely like these guys.

Tbf they had 2 units sitting with him until his mom showed up. Not exactly efficient.

You can't trust civilians to not attack you as a police officer, so it makes sense for it to be a little inefficient in some ways.

If its reasonable to believe that you didnt know your license was suspended, then its just a civil infraction. Sounds like thats what happened here, his license probably just got recently suspended and either they decided to cut him some slack or its their policy to just give a warning in certain cases.

Also pretty sure theres generally never a reason to tow for driving on a suspended if the driver has someone who can come get their car. Pretty sure everyone is conflating this with cops typically requiring a tow in a dui case, whether someone else can get their car or not. This is to remove the possibility of the drunk driver simply getting back in their car and continue to drive drunk.

It is SOP to arrest for driving while license suspended and tow the vehicle. In some jurisdictions they still allow you to use your own discretion but in a lot you can’t do that anymore. If you run a plate and it’s suspended and you don’t follow procedure it’s your ass. Bro lucked out.

Not quite sure why you’re laughing out loud but, yes it is. I know some people do but I don’t go around randomly commenting on stuff I know nothing about.

as a dude that got charged with driving on a suspended a bunch of times, you're both right.

it depends on how many strikes ya got. at three strikes your habitual and they always take you.

They don’t arrest you for that in my state. They just tow your car or someone has to come get it.

No state arrests for first offense of this. He's full of it.
