Any and all. They only thing that a police officer has to do is to show "Due Care". As long as they are not involved in a motor vehicle crash or cause one, then they are showing due care. (Due Care = showing due care for the safety of the general public)

Do you have to become a police officer first to become a traffic cop?
No, usually not. Ordinarily, Traffic Officers are not Police Officers-- although they can be in some jurisdictions. In most jurisdictions, some people who are Traffic Officers choose to advance themselves by becoming Police Officers, but this is not a necessary pursuit. The majority of Traffic Officers probably remain with that force for many years.

I don't know what that is. If I had to guess, I would say that it is a small machine used by the police to issue any kind of citation when performing a traffic stop. I'm guessing they punch in the information of the individual who is being cited and it prints out the citation.

Does police officer have to indicate speed gun on ticket?
If an officer uses traffic radar or LIDAR (laser) to measure speed for enforcement purposes, he usually has to be prepared to testify in court to the type of device used, its serial number, and the date of its last calibration. This information isn't necessarily recorded on the violator's copy of the citation. Officers usually make notes on each citation issued. The notes may be in the officer's personal notebook, or on a copy of the citation sent to the court.
