I can't really speak for the police, but my guess is that they figure all they're doing is letting the guy know he's on their radar, and that if he does this again he won't be able to use the "it was only one time" excuse. They can do that just as well (maybe better) in an official note than they can sending a cop around several times trying to catch him at home. All about the use of resources. Just my best guess. They do something similar when you report an aggressive or erratic driver, which I've done several times.

She would be sending out a letter asking him to call in and we would take it from there. She was great to work with and I feel like she cared about what happened, although, I was kind of surprised that an officer wouldn't show up at the MV owner's house to ask questions and take a look at the car. _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org -- "If we continue to consume the world until there's no more to consume, then there's going to come a day, sure as hell, when our children or their children or their children's children are going to look back on us--on you and me--and say to themselves, 'My God, what kind of monsters were these people?'" --Daniel Quinn _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org
