North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 24 Night Shift
Jimmy has given up. According to the current situation, others can't help him, so he can only deal with it by himself.

Jimmy went back to rest and was off the next day, followed by a night shift, his first.

According to the arrangement of the county police station, he needs to be on duty from 8:8 pm to 12:2 am, [-] hours, but the patrol time is only until [-]:[-] pm, and he will return to the police station to be on duty later, so he can take a short rest.

During the day, Jimmy opened a bank account, exchanged his salary check into the account, and then went to the shooting range to practice. The price of bullets was still very high. If there were no discounts, he would not be willing to bear it.

When it was the night shift, Jimmy changed his gear and left the police station in a police car.

As the lowest-ranking patrol officer in the county police, Jimmy's daily life is to drive back and forth on the road, or rest at the intersection and wait for those unlucky people, whether it is speeding, running a red light, or failing to stop at the intersection with a stop sign.

This kind of waiting is Jimmy's favorite thing, because he only needs to stop on the side of the road and wait. He can rest and eat. Just pay attention to the vehicles on the road and don't have to worry about someone checking the guard.

On the first night shift, Jimmy drove on the road for a while and found a speeding car. He parked on the side of the road with the police lights on. Jimmy checked his driver's license and checked with the dispatch center. The ticket is over.

Now Jimmy is very proficient at issuing tickets, and he didn't bother to run around at night, so he just found an intersection and stayed there.

A pickup truck passed by, just when the green light turned red, Jimmy turned on the police lights to keep up. When the car stopped on the side of the road, Jimmy opened the door and got out of the car and walked over.Jimmy's flashlight illuminated the driver's seat, and he saw an old man with a gray beard driving the pickup.

"Good evening, I'm the Pulaski County Sheriff. The reason for stopping you is that you ran a red light at the intersection just now. Do you have any urgent reasons?"

"Sorry, I didn't notice."

"Okay, do you have a driver's license, vehicle registration and insurance?"

"Wait a minute, I'll look for it." The uncle rummaged behind the sun visor above his head, found the vehicle registration form and insurance policy, then took out a wallet from the glove box, and took out his driver's license.

"Is this car registered in your name?" "Yes."

"Please wait a moment." Jimmy walked back to the police car with his ID, contacted the dispatch center through the radio to check his identity and vehicle information, and after confirming that it belonged to the driver himself and there was no relevant wanted information, he returned directly to the pickup truck.

"Okay, here is your ID, I won't give you a ticket this time, but I still want to give you a verbal warning, driving at night is not easy to see, and your behavior of running a red light is very dangerous. Be careful when driving in the future point."

"Thank you, officer. May I go?"

"OK, be careful."

Jimmy returned to the police car. When he ran the red light just now, it just turned red. At that time, the pickup truck had basically passed the stop line. It was a situation where he could be fined or not. He just stopped and gave a warning, not All stops require a ticket.

Jimmy returned to the intersection just now. Compared with other places, there is more traffic at this intersection. Naturally, there are many things that need to be dealt with. For Jimmy, dealing with more traffic violations is also a kind of exercise for him.

In the next hour or so, Jimmy caught a U-turn with a double solid line violation, speeded together, issued two tickets, warned a car, and the brake light was only on one side, and needed to be repaired.

After that, there was nothing to do, and it was still a long time before returning to the police station. Jimmy started the police car and walked slowly along the road.

It was already after 0:[-] midnight, and there were basically few cars on the road at this time. Jimmy turned around and prepared to go back to the police station.After driving for a while, he found that there seemed to be something wrong with the car in front of him. The car swayed slightly from side to side. Although it was still driving in the lane, it felt that it should be suspected of drug driving or drunk driving.

Jimmy turned on the lights, turned on the siren, and signaled the car in front to pull over.The vehicle in front turned on the right turn signal only ten seconds after the siren sounded, and parked the car on the side of the road.

Jimmy got out of the car and turned on the flashlight to shine on the driver's seat. The driver's window was lowered, and a middle-aged man was holding the top of the steering wheel with both hands, waiting for Jimmy to pass by.

"Are you okay?" The light from the flashlight hit the driver's face, and Jimmy lowered the flashlight so that it didn't shine directly into the driver's eyes.

"I stopped you because you swayed from side to side just now. Have you been drinking?"

"No. Well, a little, a beer." The driver replied, then pulled down the sun visor directly, and took out the vehicle registration form and insurance.

"There is also a driver's license. Is the car yours?" Jimmy took the documents and asked again.

"Yes, here you are." The driver took out his driver's license from his wallet and handed it over.

"Wait a minute." Jimmy checked the process, and the information returned by the dispatch center made him scratch his head a bit. According to the driver's license, the driver was Dorch Mars, a police officer of LRPD.

"Mars, get out of the car first." Jimmy signaled the driver, Dolch Mars, to get out of the car and come to the side of the road.

"Mars, you know, this isn't about you, work is work. I'm going to give you an eye gaze sobriety test and then decide what to do next, okay?"

"OK."

The on-site sobriety test is a common method used by the US police to determine whether a suspect is driving under the influence of alcohol or drug. This test includes three links, the horizontal eye test, going straight and turning, and standing on one leg.

If the driver fails the field sobriety test, then the police will need to conduct more accurate tests, including alcohol breath tests or blood tests, urine tests.

If the driver is determined to be driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the driver will be detained on the spot.

"Keep your legs together, keep your arms by your sides, keep your eyes on my fingers as much as possible, understand? Do you have any questions?"

"NO."

"OK, I need your eyes to follow my fingers, my fingers will move left and right in your field of vision, your eyes should also follow my fingers, but don't move your head."

Jimmy used his right index finger as a test tool, moving slowly from left to right, and then from right to left in four rounds, and paused at the far left and right positions.

"I think you should know how much you drank. The test just now shows that you are close to the critical point of drunk driving, OK? You are also a policeman, and you know the standards of sobriety tests. So, to be on the safe side, you should call someone Come pick you up."

"OK, I'll call now." Dolch Mars returned to the driver's seat, took out his cell phone from the car, and started calling.

"My friend will pick me up in 15 minutes."

"Okay. Brother, I don't think I need to explain more, you know I am not targeting you. I choose to believe you, and I will not wait for your friends to come and pick you up. If I see you continue to drive by yourself, then the end Maybe it’s different. I don’t want to see that ending, and you don’t want to see it either, right.”

"OK, you can go back to the car and wait. Is your friend coming to drive your car? Or do you leave the car here first and drive it tomorrow?"

"He asked his friend to bring him over, and then he drove my car."

"OK, that's fine. Be sure to wait for someone to pick you up, don't drive yourself."
