Were any of my rights violated when I was stopped by police officer with a citation for failure to signal and then detained 45mins hand cuffed police dog 9 additional police arrive?

If you were pulled over for failure to signal, and no additional suspicions were raised, then yes, the period of the stop was unreasonable and your rights were violated. However, that is unlikely to be the case. Any additional suspicions that are raised will lengthen the time of the stop.


If a police officer's directions are in conflict with a traffic light or sign?

If the officer is directing traffic, regardless of the sign or signal, the officer's signals take precedence.


How does a police officer signal traffic to stop?

A police officer can signal traffic to stop by using hand signals or using their patrol vehicle's emergency lights and siren. They may extend their arm out to the side with their palm facing the traffic, indicating that it should stop. They may also use their police vehicle's lights and sirens to grab the attention of the drivers and indicate they need to stop.


What is is violation code 22143 A given by a police officer?

Violation code 22143 A typically refers to disobeying a traffic control signal, such as running a red light or disobeying a stop sign. This means the driver failed to follow the instructions given by the traffic signal or sign, and may result in a traffic citation or ticket from the police officer.


Can a police office allowed to overrule a traffic signal?

The whole point of having a police officer directing traffic is that he will override the traffic signals in order to create a better flow of traffic. This can be necessary during unusual happenings such as a traffic accident or a sports stadium emptying out. If motorists were going to obey the traffic lights anyway, there would be no point in putting the police officer there!


When an officer fails to see your hand signal the way you are turning is that probable cause to stop you for not using a turn signal?

Well if the officer did not see your signal, perhaps other divers would have missed it too. Police only stop drivers to ensure the roads are safe. If you feel strongly and have been written up you can always take it to a judge (you could lose). If you have just been warned then take it on the chin and try and use the signal light rather than you hands to signal.


What is the purpose of the small red and blue lights that are mounted on traffic signal poles in the Las Vegas area?

that blue mystery is an indicator light that helps police catch drivers who run reds. Basically, the police officer waits in a safe location off the street where he or she can observe the blue light. When the red traffic signal comes on, so does the blue indicator light. The officer can then determine if a driver entered the intersection on the red light. A big benefit is police can tell whether vehicles are running the red light from either side of the intersection.


How do police transmit through a scanner?

Signals are sent from a police officer's radio to a "Repeater" located on a building somewhere. That repeater will have a signal code. for example... 159.900 is a signal frequency code. When your scanner is set on that code, or any other code, it will receive the transmissions from that code where ever you are that the signal will reach.
