^Oh, and along the lines with that. First, we run the plate when we take the report. If the plate was stolen off of a Cadillac, but the agent says it was a F350 pickup....duh...we know the difference and know someone prolly stole the plate, but it hasn't been reported yet.
Now...if your plate is stolen, report that RIGHT AWAY. And, if you do report it, take off the other plate from your car.....duh....do you guys have any idea how many times people forget this simple, VERY SIMPLE step? We run the plate, it comes back stolen, our hearts are pumping like mad because we think we have a stolen vehicle, we run a felony traffic stop on you thinking the car is stolen (or just the plate which could ALSO mean the car is stolen), and we pull you of the the vehicle on a FELONY stop.
That means guns drawn.....pointed at you..... Now...do you want to take off that other plate?????
Yeah....again, common sense.
