Yeah they do because they just stand there and get paid to do nothing most of times which doesn't really help anyone.
The traffic was already bad, and to make matters worse, it started raining heavily.
Traffic police wear highly fluorescent and reflective clothing to make them more visible. This visibility is very important, as it protects them from being accidentally run down when at an accident.
Yes. Being on private property does not insulate you from law enforcement. If police observe something that warrants a traffic stop, they can make it regardless of whether you are in your driveway, a private parking lot, or a public street. There are some limits to what police can observe on private property, but these generally don't come up in a traffic situation, because it is normally a case where they can see from the public road or the offense occurred on the public road.
depending on the traffic & foolish people they come across. approx - Rs- 1000
A traffic court handles traffic ticket cases. If a person has pleaded not guilty they appear in front a judge and plead their case. The judge takes into account the evidence of the police to and then make a decision.
I recommend a film.
Yes. There is generally no requirement that a police car attempt to make itself easy to see when looking for traffic violators.
Make sure that you are not in the oncoming flow of traffic. Once you are pulled over, get out of your car and call a towing company, or a friend, or a family member. Make sure that while you are not in traffic you are still visible so that a police officer can spot you.
What is your definition of "non-serious?" The answer to the question is yes. A traffic violation is a misdemeanor offense for which the officer, in their judgement, can make a summary arrest - IF it occurred in his presence..... and most moving traffic violations DO occur in the officers presence.
"Private police" is the same used by some private security forces, e.g. security guards. They usually have no police powers. They can't serve warrants, make arrests on probable cause, or make traffic stops. "Public police" are employed by governmental or quasi-governmental agencies such as cities, counties, states, colleges, public hospitals, etc.
Generally speaking, police officers investigate crimes, direct traffic, enforce traffic laws, protect crime scenes, serve warrants, make arrests, write reports, conduct searches, respond to 911 or other police emergency calls, and assist citizens when applicable.
For a traffic stop? Yes. Any violation that a police officer can make contact with you for (which is all of them) is probably cause for a trafffic stop.
