MO is used for Modus Operandi, which is Latin for "Method of Operation". Originally from police slang for a criminal's way of operating. In this case, it means "That's how he does things."

Here in the UK our Police Constables are called many things!\nThey do not carry guns, unless they have to, and gun crime is relatively rare. Gun ownership is rare too.\nTheir nicknames are all fairly obvious:\n- copper, cop - the old Eglish word 'cop' means to apprehend.\n- the Sweeney - rhyming slang, from Sweeney Todd (an infamous serial killer) rhyming with 'Flying Squad' (an old name for a specialised unit of police).\n - see the link below.

I got pulled over for that once too except mine was called disorderly conduct with a vehicle ?? But I don't know how well the fight would hold up if you fought it because it is your word against his when it comes to what he had said to you.

Actually when I worked for the police dept, it was against police policy to give a "jump" from the police car.  It can seriously damage the electronics in the police car ( 1000's of dollars worth)\n\nAn officer giving a jump to someone could be wrote up, given a day off without pay or more.\n\nThe police officer will call you a tow truck, or other road service,  they will often call someone else that you want called.

Paddy is slang for the policemen or bobbies as they are more popularly known, and whack, well, that still means exactly what it did then. So, I'm thinking a whack from a policeman.

I'm not sure what you are asking.  If by the term "hold" you mean confiscate, only law enforcement officials or the department of motor vehicles.  Please clarify your question.

What do you mean by surrendering? Do you mean to just show it if asked?\n\nI'm not exactly sure. I mean common sense kind of tells us that we have the right to say NO to a cop as long as we aren't driving a car and aren't doing anything wrong.\n\nBUT then again, I've been asked for my identification before from a cop just because I was sitting at a park once. Was really weird and the cop said that sometimes drug ppl do that. It really ticked me off and afterwards I wished that I had refused just based on principle alone.

In layman's term's, it means "at face value."  I saw if a lot when I had to study the penal code in the police academy.  For example, in a trespassing case, if someone were trespassing in an area that was fenced in with a No Trespassing sign posted, both the fence and the sign would serve as prima facia evidence of the trespass in establishing probable cause for an arrest.  I hope this helps.
