I think that a lot of people believe that cops have a lot more power than they really do. Their job is to enforce the law, by looking at the situation, weather they see it themselves or get dispatched to it, And then use some judgment to decide how to handle it. They can ignore it, which of course they could get reported for, They can check it out and decide to just give a warning, or they can write a summons (ticket) and let the judge decide on what to do with it. Of course in most jurisdictions you have the option of pleading guilty to many minor infractions and just send in the summons and the payment. To make that easier they tell you on the ticket what the standard fine is that the governing jurisdiction has put on that offense. You also have the third option of instead of mailing, or going to court, of trying to put the cop in the position of judge and hold court there in the street. In order to do this of course he would have to listen to a lot of details and testimony from maybe multiple people involved. Sometimes they may be willing to do some of this but sometimes they may have other things to do, like especially during a snow storm, or they just may not wish to take on the role of judge in the street. If they don't want to become judge about all they can do is remind you of what your actual choices are and how to take those choices. If you were to argue strenuously you are apt to move into the realm of another crime and thus force them to respond to that one in addition to the first. I have a feeling that this has probably happened in many different places in the past so they have a standard procedure to follow for that as well which was given to them by the governing jurisdiction.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
