§ 46.2-1088.6. Motor vehicle recording devices.

 

are you serious? did you just come to this country? ALL patrol cars have laptops in the front seat

 

Not all.

 

i'm not talking about undercover, detective, personal with lights or sherriff. But all patrol/cruisers that are used for traffic stops i've seen do.

 

Drive out to any county that doesn't have tons of taxpayer loot to support the local police (fire depts, schools, etc) and you will not see those Toughbook laptops mounted in the patrol cars.

 

good point.
sidenote: I love those laptops, just can't let myself pay the 6k for the one i want.

 

this is the biggest bullshit ticket ive ever seen.

how can any man sleep after giving someone a ticket for having a laptop sitting in the seat, then walk back to your fucking patrol car just to punch their info into a fucking laptop in the fucking car.

/end rant

 

maybe he doesn't sleep?

 

well then he is off the hook for being out of conciousness

 

I saw a guy walk out of Henrico County surplus sale with a pallet of them for $10 each. Hard drive wiped, but those cases are pretty durable. I wanted one. Strangely, you are limited to a maximum of something like 2 power cords but no limit on laptops. Fucking pissed me off.
