I pull over the violations that I see. Where they are from (in-town, in-state, out of state) is irrelevant to me.

Quoted: I only ask I I drive 120 miles a day and see probably 4-5 cars pulled over a day by my rough count 80%+ of them are out of state and the ones I see getting dismantled on the side of the road are 99% out of state outside of the 2 lane rural areas I almost never see a local pulled over I assume a lot of it is from I-80 being a bit of a drug conduit but only about 30% of my route is I-80 rest is Hwy 77 Given that most contraband (drugs, drug money, etc) is moved across several states, it would be logical that vehicles being searched for contraband would be largely out-of-state... |

Out of staters don't know where the speed traps are.

The origin of the car has no bearing on the stop.

Where the vehicle is registered has no bearing on my decision to pull the driver over.
Of course I still get accused of this type of behavior all the time. I really don't even understand the rationale behind this line of thinking, it's not like I don't get paid to show up at traffic court. |

I avoid that by not putting plates on the car.

I've always thought of it like this; A cop wants to influence speeders by a show of force, and a out of state person is less likely to have a personal or social connection with the officer, and the officer will feel less like a dick about writing the ticket. Sometimes it's just luck of the draw.

I assume as much as NSP regularly pulls huge hauls off of I-80 and now that I think about it is only the state patrol most of the locals I see pulled over are the sheriff every time I have been pulled its a sheriff and I have flew by some staties |

I'll stop them yes, but cite?......that's a pain in the butt. They have to post bond and that usually involves all sorts of drama.

I pull vehicles over for one of three reasons:
1...traffic violation 2...matches the description of a vehicle we or another agency is looking for, or has a warrant attached to the plate 3...investigative reasons...IE "why is that car parked infront of a closed jewelry store at night, facing forward as if to make a quick getaway?" The vast majority of stops I make are for #1. Not every one I stop gets a citation. I very, very rarely write citations for all the violations I could. If I issue two citations, then you probably could have been issued 4-5. If I issue 4-5 citations, then you probably had traffic warrants out for your arrest from another venue and I didnt arrest you and tow your car, or, you just couldnt keep your mouth shut and talked your way into all the citations I could issue you. Where your car is registered has nothing to do with why I stopped you. Nick |

Most folks who are unfamiliar with an area, especially a notorious speed trap, will get nailed more easily. It only follows that people from outside an area are easier pickings. I see it all the time. Add to that the fact the driver is more likely to be fatigued and they do get more than their share of attention. This is especially true of jurisdictions that require a certain amount of "productivity" out of their officers.
For the record I am a huge believer in using strict traffic enforcement as a tool to weed out crime. I also firmly believe that if one is going to use strict enforcement one should be giving out "friendly warnings" more often than citations. Criminals can't obey traffic laws any better than they do any of the other ones and once you have them on the side of the road they'll usually give you a dozen ways to bust them. Speeding is a problem but it can be reduced without a department becoming a ticket mill. |

If you are delivering pizza with out of state plates, you better not speed or do a rolling stop.
Lots of folks don't transfer registration after a move because it is cheaper in their state. Oregon is an example..... |

Over 50% of the regular residents in my precinct have their cars registered out of state so they can get cheaper auto insurance. Out of state plates really have no bearing on our stops. |
