Are cops trained to identify all license plate states/types just from a quick visual glance?

COPS ARE NOT SUPER HUMAN COMPUTERS. They are trained to recognize license plates by type. For instance, I noticed a plate that was for a small trailer on a car from Savannah, GA.  Dead giveaway was the first two letters: TL for traliler. The girl stole the car and plate and drove it to North Georgia, I stopped her and arrested her after verifying the plate was stolen from a trailer in South GA. In between South Georgia and North Georgia, there are lots of police officers. I just happen to see her first.

Funny you mention that. The police chief of Chiago already wants cameras in the homes of felons. Yes we are entering a total police state here in the USA. There are also directional mics in the public areas with those cameras to listen in on your conversations. The justification for these mics is classic disinfo. I have heard that the mics are to triangulate gun shots, yeah they can do that, but mostly they are here to spy on us. But don't just worry about the cameras. State governments are implementing RFID technology into your cars registration stickers. And there are even plans on making a system like Onstar mandatory so basically you will have to "check in" with your state government in some way before you can even drive your car! It is really beyond 1984 what is being set up here in the US, and the national news will NOT tell you its happening.

It depends on the department they work for, along with the job title and specifications. CSI isn't a nationwide title, and some forensic duties are carried out by police.

The department of M.V will trace the plate to the owner for you. Have to fill out a police report first, but you don't have to tell them why.Yes. You can get anyones addy from their liscence plate. In France, the liscence plates even tell you what part of the city or town they are from.

Fingerprints, DNA and other individual characteristics are unique to the individual. The police use these identifying characterisitics to match particular evidence found in a crime scene to an individual. Fingerprints for example are matched on 6-10 points of identification/reference leaving no room for doubt that the match is at least 99.9%.

tilt all photo IDs in light.  look 4 official seals and other irridescent markings (seals ordinarily overlap the photo).  check 4 inconsistent laminations (uneven seams, sharp corners & separations).  check picture color & clarity.  ask local DMV (motor vehicles) and police dept 4 a copy of their fraud alert bulletin.  i'm not sure about non-photo IDs except that the official seals are usually the same.

First, record the phone calls for police evidence then use caller ID or Last Call Return [*69 I think] to see if who answers at this callers number.  Google the number too. \n\nAs for the stolen license plates, install lighting if you must then put a web cam to work watching the car.  Cams often  come with software which only takes pics when there is movement in it's  view.

Here are two web sites with the code listings:\nhttp://www.radiolabs.com/police-codes.html\nhttp://www.tracone.com/police_scanner/police-codes.htm\n\nAlso, next time you're looking for something like this, I recommend http://www.ixquick.com  It's a great meta search engine.

Yes if the officer is trained in using it. No if it's for photo radar.

It will depend on what HS was doing it,  most medium and large police departments have Homeland Security officers appointed in it.  All of the state police units I know, including some of the larger college police units all have homeland secuity officers also.\n\nIf the officer has been sworn in as a state, county or city police yes they may.\n\nMany times the vechiles have specific names and the officers assigned to varouis units, but this will not mean they don't have other powers of arrest.\n\nin general those that work at the Federal level would not be doing traffic stops

I have NEVER heard of such a thing as a "police license". What is this?

Police departments are very much like the military (they are even called paramilitary).\n\nThey have ranks officer, corporal, sergeant, lieutenant, captain etc.\n\nSome agencies have detectives who are corporals, others have them as a separate rank.\n\nDetectives themselves are people who are assigned to do the detective work for the agency (like traffic officers are assigned to deal with traffic matters).  Most of the answers about them being specially assigned is right for the larger departments, for the smaller ones, the detective is a jack of all trades.\n\nBasically, they do most of the follow up on those situations that require a little more time than the original officer on the scene could provide (like interview more witnesses, collect evidence, attend autopsies etc.)  They also work more closely with the prosecutors if the case is filed in court.\n\nHope this helps!

i am skip tracer and i can access a ton of information on any one person. i have been able to locate almost every member of one family including criminal records. criminal records are public information as they do not contain any contact information. by searching using a license plate the only information you will get is the registared name address and lien holder information. you cannot access criminal information using the license plate. alot of the times the address may not be the correct address due to failure to put in a change of address. if you are accessing this information for harassment reasons or any other criminal act it is very illegal. depending on what state you live in depends on what info you can access. some states do not allow you to look up certain public records online. there are few states that allow you to look up license plate information. all states allow you to look up criminal information.
