no offense, but maroman88 is right
i call up insurance companies on from my cell quite often on a m.v. stop, or i have dispatch call, because i dont want to write someone an NO INSURANCE ticket, which is a heavy hit and a tow, instead of a simple FAIL TO PRODUCE A COPY OF INSURANCE DOC which is less, and NO TOW, because if that person comes to court and whatnot, i want to KNOW that the insurance agent told me they have no insurance..
it is part of the job, and it makes sense, its not as simple as penning out tickets, gotta dig a little bit.
and u guys are right about personal responsibility... but u'd be suprised how many people dont have one of their documents, cant find it cuz thier car is a slob zone, leave it at home, etc.. happens all the time, but ur right about personal responsibility and having to buck up to the $ consequenses
