024 Night Shift
Jimmy has given up, and according to the current situation, there is no way for others to help him, so he can only deal with it himself.
Jimmy went back to rest and took the next day off, followed by a night shift, his first night shift.
According to the arrangement of the county police department, he needs to be on duty from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m., 12 hours, but the patrol time is only until 2 o'clock at night, and then he is on duty at the police station, so he can take a short break.
Jimmy went to a bank account during the day, exchanged the salary check into the account, and then went to the shooting range to practice, the price of the bullet was still very high, and he would not be willing to give it if it were not for the discount.
When it was Jimmy's turn to work the night shift, Jimmy changed his gear and left the police station in a police car.
As the lowest level of the county police patrolman, Jimmy's daily routine is to drive back and forth on the road, or rest at intersections and wait for those unlucky people, whether it is speeding, running a red light, or having a stop sign at the intersection without stopping.
This kind of waiting for the rabbit is Jimmy's favorite, because he only needs to stop and wait on the side of the road, he can rest, eat, just keep an eye on the traffic on the road, and he doesn't have to worry about someone checking the guard.
On the first night shift, Jimmy first drove on the road for a while, found a speeding car, turned on the police lights and parked directly on the side of the road, Jimmy checked his driver's license, checked his identity with the dispatch center, and opened a speeding ticket and it was over.
Now Jimmy is very proficient in issuing tickets, and at night, he doesn't bother to run around, so he just finds an intersection to stay.
A pickup truck passed by on the side, just happened to meet the green light turned red, Jimmy turned on the police light to follow, and when the car stopped on the side of the road, Jimmy opened the door and got out of the car and walked over. Jimmy's flashlight illuminates the driver's seat, and he sees a gray-bearded man driving the pickup.
"Good evening, I'm the Pulaski County Sheriff, the reason you stopped you was that you ran a red light at the intersection just now, do you have any urgent reasons?"
"Sorry, I didn't notice."
"Okay, do you have a driver's license, vehicle registration, and insurance?"
"Wait a minute, I'll look for it." The uncle rummaged through the hood above his head, found the vehicle registration form and insurance policy, then took out a wallet from the glove box and took out his driver's license.
"Is this car registered in your name?" "Yes."
"Please wait a minute." Jimmy walked back to the police car with his ID, contacted the dispatch center through the radio to check his identity and vehicle information, and after making sure that it belonged to the driver himself and there was no relevant wanted information, he returned directly to the pickup truck.
"Okay, this is your ID, I won't give you a ticket this time, but I still have to give you a verbal warning, driving at night is not good, and your behavior of running a red light is very dangerous. Be sure to be careful when driving in the future. ”
"Thank you, officer. Can I go? ”
"OK, be careful."
Jimmy returned to the police car, when he ran the red light just now, it was actually just a red light, and at that time the pickup truck had basically exceeded the stop line, which belonged to the situation of fines or not, and he just stopped to give a warning, not all stops need to be ticketed.
Jimmy returned to the intersection just now, this intersection has more traffic than other places, and naturally there are many things to deal with, for Jimmy, dealing with more violations is also a kind of exercise for him.
In the following more than 1 hour, Jimmy caught 1 double solid line violation U-turn, speeding together, issued two tickets, warned a car, the brake light was only on one side, and needed to be repaired.
With nothing left to do, and with a long time to go back to the police station, Jimmy started the police car and slowly drove down the road.
It was already after midnight, and there were basically no cars on the road at this time, so Jimmy turned around and prepared to go back to the police station. After driving for a while, he noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with the car in front of him, the vehicle had a slight swaying from side to side, although it was still driving in the lane, but it felt like it should be suspected of drug driving or drunk driving.
Jimmy turned on the police lights and turned on the siren directly, signaling the car in front to pull over. The vehicle in front turned on its right turn signal and pulled over to the side of the road more than ten seconds after the siren sounded.
Jimmy got out of the car, turned on the flashlight and shone it to the driver's seat, the main driver's window was lowered, and a middle-aged man held the steering wheel with both hands, waiting for Jimmy to pass.
"Are you alright?" The flashlight's light shone on the driver's face, and then Jimmy dropped the flashlight downwards without shining it directly into the driver's eyes.
"Stopped you because you were driving from side to side, and you were drinking?"
"Nope. Well, a little, a beer. The driver replied, then pulled down the visor and took out the vehicle registration form and insurance.
"And a driver's license. Is the car yours? Jimmy took the information and asked again.
"Yes, to you." The driver took out his driver's license from his wallet and handed it over.
"Wait a minute." Jimmy checked the process and the dispatch center replied with a message that made him scratch his head a bit, according to his driver's license, the driver was Dorch Mars, a police officer at the LRPD.
"Mars, get out of the car first." Jimmy motioned for the driver, Dolch Mars, to get out of the car and come to the side of the road.
"Mars, you know, it's not for you, work is work. I'm going to do a lucid test of your eye fixation right away before I decide on the next step, okay? ”
“OK。”
The on-site sobriety test is a common method used by the American police to determine whether a suspect is drunk driving or drug driving, this test consists of three parts, horizontal eye test, straight and turn, and standing on one leg.
If the driver does not pass the on-site sobriety test, then the police need to conduct more accurate tests, including alcohol breath tests or blood tests and urine tests.
If the driver is found to be drunk or drugged, the driver will be detained on the spot.
"Keep your legs together, your arms on either side, and your eyes on my fingers as much as you can, you know? Do you have any questions? ”
“NO。”
"OK, I need your eyes to follow my fingers, my fingers will move left and right in your field of vision, and your eyes need to follow my fingers, but don't move your head."
Using his right index finger as a test tool, Jimmy slowly made four rounds of movements from left to right and then right to left, pausing in the leftmost and rightmost positions.
"I think you should know how much you've drunk, and the test just now shows that you're close to the tipping point for drunk driving, OK? You're also a police officer, and you know the criteria for a sobriety test. So, to be on the safe side, you might as well call someone to pick you up. ”
"OK, I'll call now." Dolchi Mars returned to the driver's seat, took out his mobile phone from the car, and started making calls.
"My friend came to pick me up in 15 minutes."
"Okay. Brother, I don't think I need to explain more, you know I'm not targeting you. I choose to trust you, and I won't wait here for your friend to come and pick you up. If I see you continue to drive yourself, then the ending may not be the same. I don't want to see that ending, and you don't want to see it, right? ”
"OK, you can go back and wait. Is your friend coming over to drive your car? Or do you put the car here first and drive it again tomorrow? ”
"He asked his friend to drop him off, and then he drove my car again."
"OK, that's fine. Be sure to wait for someone to pick you up, don't drive yourself. ”
