Wow this thread went to hell. As already mentioned, peace officers of all sorts (City, County and State for the US) are able to run a license place for no reason other than to run it. This is called a "Rolling Check" where they see a plate, throw it into the system and see what comes back. 95% of the time, the search comes back clean, registration in order, insurance up to date, no warrants, etc However, that other 5% will pop up a warning screen which shows either expired registration (do they have an up to date sticker? Stollen from another cary maybe?), their license is expired, the person has one of many different warrants, etc. All of these give cops the right to pull someone over at that point.As mentioned already, you were accused of reckless driving because your tire left the road. This is reckless driving, as is driving on the wrong side of the road or swerving between lanes. Reckless driving is a legal reason to pull someone over, usually to conduct a sobriety test to see if they are under the influence of alcohol or narcotics.Also as already mentioned, its 2035... its the future. In today's world, the technology for an officer to simply drive down a street and check every single license place already exists. In many major cities, multiple patrol cars are fitted with roof mounted cameras which scan all license places they pass and in turn, pop up any negative results on the in-cabin laptop. This technology could easily be fitted to a helicopter with a long range lens to allow for viewing license places. Add in the fact that most air cameras are mounted on a motorized gimbal, it would be a fairly steady picture for the system to analyze.The APD do what they can with what they have. They are hamstrung on how they can do certain activities and when someone (usually the 12th+ perp) starts bucking back saying "you can't do that" or "Its ok, I'm getting this on my go-pro" (side note, I'm about THIS close to proposing any mention of recording at all will result in player reports being automatically denied. Its getting out of hand), it makes sense that the officer is going to get fed up and just try to get you out of their hair. Its no different than dealing with an officer in the real world. If you give an officer an attitude, they are instantly going to have an issue with you and behave completely differently. They won't listen to your story, they will write your ticket and make you leave. Or they will simply detain you depending on what they are talking to you for.Point is, if you feel that something happened that shouldn't have, think about what happened, think about how YOU acted and go from there. I spectate all the time and more often than not, a civilian will get pissy and try too quote rules and end up ruining the officer's day, which results in the officer just wanting you to be gone. Either cut loose or in jail, it doesn't matter as long as you aren't in front of them. This also doesn't help, coming on the forums and pointing fingers at others, digging up old dead threads and antagonizing a large group of the community. All you are doing is creating a reputation for yourself which WILL end up translating in-game. Just like if someone in the real world were to have a "F*** the police" type website and are known by cops. They'll approach that person with an already negative connotation. Point is, nothing was done wrong based on what the officers AND YOU are saying. They attempted to role-play and you puffed up. Spool down your turbo, take a breath and play the game, because that's what all of this is. Its a game, everyone needs to remember that. And if you can't separate A GAME from real life, then you need to not play the game.
