What is your preference on a night stop?

Thanks, but I couldn't be an LEO in TX for five years because TCLEOSE requires US citizenship. Current destination of choice would be Colorado (because CO POST and depts don't need citizenship). After 5 yrs I could apply for citizenship. Then I'd be in the same boat as all the rest of you bums

Colorado is GREAT - I have friends in Colorado Springs that we visit occasionally. I wanta live there too!!! (even if they do occasionally have to tunnel out a window when it snows - The rest of the year makes up for that!!!)

Is this something officers prefer or does it make a difference to you? Thank you.

you could handcuff yourself

If you want to let the officer do the handcuffing - turning on the dome light and keeping your hands visible is nice
