It is dangerous not only for you but also for officers. There is also the fact that if a crime has indeed been commit- ted, then you may be responsi- ble for destroying potential evidence and possibly losing the case, thus allowing whoev- er did it to go free. Also, if “taking care of it” requires you to trespass on another’s property, you could face potential prosecution along with the original suspect. Traffic activity was light during this period, with most drivers obeying the speed lim- its. One citation was issued for speed, along with many warn- ings for speed. Thirty five warnings were issued for speed violations that did not rise to the level of receiving a citation. Six warnings were also issued for seatbelt violations and 13 warnings were also issued for various equipment violations (broken headlight, tail light out, etc.).
