On the above date and time I was conducting traffic enforcement in the area of Washington Street.
While sitting stationary facing West on Queener Street, I observed a red Dodge van traveling North on Washington Street. I visually estimated the van to be traveling 40 MPH in a posted 30 MPH zone. As the van passed my patrol vehicle, I observed the White male driver not wearing his seat belt. I had a clear view of the driver through the open driver's side window.
I then pulled directly behind the vehicle and visually observed the belt buckle dangling over the driver's left shoulder. I had a clear viwe through the lightly tinted back window of the vehicle.
I provided dispatch with the vehicle's FL tag (EYBH92) and my location before activating my emergency lights and

sirens. Dispatch advised me that the vheicle's registered owner had a suspended Dl. Furthermore, the vehicle had a seize tag order. The final rest of both vehicles came to the parking lot of Bay Dermatology. I exited my patrol vehicle and made contact with the White male driver/ defendant, later identified as Scott Edward Krupinski. Upon my approach the driver was not wearing his seat belt. I advised Krupinski of the reasons for the traffic stop. Krupinski admitted that he may have been speeding and that he may have been wearing his seat belt underneath his shoulder. Krupinski then stated that he took off his seat belt while I approached the vehicle. I then asked Krupinski to provide me with his driver's license, vehicle registion and insurance. Krupinski then provided me with his FL I.D. card and stated "my license is suspended, I was going to take care of it this morning." Krupinski could not locate the registration and advised me that he had no insurance coverage on the vehicle. Dispatch conducted a wants and warrants check on Krupinski with negative results.
Dispatch confirmed that Krupinski had a suspended FL D.L. as of 03/22/2017, reference suspension case #728686797. Furthermore, Krupinski DL was also cancellled as of 04/04/2017.
I returned to my patrol vehicle and issued Krupinski thrree writtten warnings for failure to obey a traffic control device, driver not belted, and no proof of insurance. Krupinski also received a citation for DWLSR w/ knowledge: Citation #A2ICUSE (criminal).
I provided Krupinski with copies of the written warnings and the original citation. I advised Krupinski that his vehicle would be impounded. Krupinski removed several of his belongings and called his daughter for a ride.
I took several photos of the vehicle before I advised dispatch to contact the next wrecker in rotation. The photos were entered into the electronic evidence box.
Shortly after, Wards Towing arrived on scene and later towed the vehicle to the Port Richey Police impound lot. Krupinski was provided with and signed the impound paperwork with instructions on how to retrieve his vehicle

A simple Google search will turn up hundreds of studies based on the effectiveness of emergency lighting on the road. Obviously, this wealth of information is too vast to summarize in one article; however, there is one study that sticks out when discussing whether red or blue emergency vehicle lights are easier to see on the road. In this article, we will go over a study released by Lt. James D. Wells Jr. on behalf of the Florida Highway Patrol. This study was released in 2004 and concentrates mainly on emergency lighting configurations and the effectiveness of these lights in helping to reduce collisions on the road and keeping officers and emergency first responders safer on the road. Who Should Understand the 2004 Florida Highway Patrol Emergency Lighting Configuration?
On May 22, 1990 two Sacramento County sheriff’s deputies were responding to a call to break up a fight. While returning to their cars one of the officers, Murray Stapp noticed a motorcycle moving at rather high speeds. The motorcycle was being operated by 18-year-old Brian Willard and carrying a 16-year-old passenger by the name of Phillip Lewis. Neither the operator nor the passenger of the motorcycle had anything to do with the fight being responded to.
“Because of the state’s failure to comply with the request for this file, and the police denying the existence of this file, we are asking for dismissal.” Krejci said.

The new owner of the vehicle ran a stoplight and when the license plate was read, Mr. Robinson's information was pulled up. When he finally received his ticket, it was too late for him to protest the charges even when providing proof of sale for the vehicle.(Geor...
The driver was seized when the officer turned on the flashing lights, but Brendlin was always free to leave. The flashing lights were directed at the driver, the officer never ordered Brendlin to do anything. Just because the officer approached the vehicle doesn’t mean Brendlin was seized.
In the civil suit against Firefighter Johnson and the Portage Fire District, the prosecution was charged with providing evidence that negligence by both parties had contributed to the death of Ian Huffman and the attempted homicide of Olivia Duty. Prosecutors allege “Mr. Johnson was driving his personal vehicle as fast as 98 mph on State Rt. 19 on his way to the fire station in Oak Harbor just seconds before he crashed into the rear of Ms. Duty's car at Portage River South Road” (Feehan, 2012, para. 6). The posted speed limit on Portage River South Road was 55 mph at the time of the accident (Curt, 2012).

Retana advised that earlier that night as he was traveling westbound in the outside lane of the 2100 block of West Wadley an SUV (TXLP-BXH2519) exiting the private drive located near Sedonas Grill hit the Right Front Quarter of his silver Chevrolet Cruise(TXLP-703684G). Retana then advised that the vehicle tried to leave the scene and that he then followed him. Retana was unable to produce an accurate direction of travel. Retana advised Officer Jimenez that as he was following the vehicle in an attempt to get the driver to stop, the driver of the vehicle then intentionally and knowingly swerved his vehicle towards his. As a result Retana stated that his vehicle was hit for a second time.
I blocked in the vehicle in order to prevent the driver from leaving the area pending further investigation.

In the month of October 2011, two of my friends were exiting Fort Carson, Colorado, and waited at a red light. The light turned to a green arrow and they proceeded to the intersection. The driver did not see a large dump truck travelling approximately 50 miles per hour toward them until it was too late. The dump truck failed to adhere to a red light and struck my friend’s truck. The truck spun around several times and stopped in the median.
I asked the driver to exit the vehicle and he began reaching to start the vehicle. I again asked him out of the vehicle and he complied. Once out of the vehicle, I observed the male had urinated while he was seated in the truck.
Additionally, I sent an e-mail out to the Department to keep a look out of Dale.
He then told me to step out the Jeep and put me in cuffs, called the cop tow truck, and contacted my uncle to pick me up. Sadly they towed my Jeep and I had to pay to get it out of impound. A
