How often do cops check plates when driving?
|
i often wonder if the cops are checking my plate when it comes to a stop sign or red light, and a cop happen to stop behind me.
Do most cops check plates randomly like at a red light to cars in front of them? or do they usually have a reason before they do so?

We randomly check them, whether you are trying hard not to look at us when we pull up next to you or you are in front of us at a light. We don't have to have a reason to run a license plate. |

They random check as it is easy now and something for them to do (Onboard computers). Obviously, if you drive a gang or banger type car, you will be checked instantly for any reason. |

It depends on the cop. It also depends on how busy it is for them. If an officer is trying to get to a call, then they won't take the time to run your plate. If there is nothing going on, then yes it is something to do. If everything is good to go with your car, then you don't have anything to worry about. |

They will look for expired tags, all good, no worries. Unless they know the car. Then you have worries because they know you. they have many other things going on and must be observant to what is happening around them.
You would be suprised at the number of stupid criminals that drive around in cars/pick-ups with warrents on their heads and expired tags on the plates. BUSTED! |

Honestly it depends on the cop I guess. Mabye you will get lucky and a cop will answer this question for you. I always notice that if you look suspicous or they think your car looks suspicious they run your plates. Sometimes they will have nothing better to do and sometimes they need to make their quota for tickets so they will run plates until they find someone. Watch Cops. :) |
