10:54 am
be a need to. hold. everybody have a different i just see the new as far. as the due caution is it helps to up the spin. room at last on the side here. and on to be off in full gear which. is what is known as the i can do all i do all i can do. because he's allowed to games to. do for you to free said no. you can't act as a police officer without probable cause even if you see somebody who looks suspicious they're doing something suspicious you can't necessarily do a lot about it unless you see that i'm doing something specific so you may see
10:55 am
somebody standing out and it's really cold out and they're along and you want to know what they're doing but you really can't search them or anything like that. typical things that you might be looking for are people who are out in cold weather or in odd parts of the city you could observe them from a distance if they can't see. these under the saloon there he's at a bar he's standing outside and people inside may know that if you want anything go outside and see that guy pick it up and take a baguette. but chances are he's not going to be dealing on the street if he is outside of a bar if he has any connection to the bar because the the best way to deal. in a bar situation is in the men's room.

this guy here that's given a good look and he's welcome back that's good if you are in uniform if you're not in a cruiser he knows that you saw him so he may decide not to be doing any more business tonight. he is standing there in the dark and why and again it's a constant like around whether it's 5 minutes later 20 minutes later you're coming back around again now what is he up to. if you're in uniform if you're in a cruiser and he knows you're a cop probably less danger if he knows you're a cop if you're if you're in uniform he knows that you saw him he knows it you saw him standing there and you may come back around and he met or better not be holding anything he better not be in the middle of dealing anything like that if you're working undercover you really don't want to be seen you don't want to make eye
10:57 am
contact with the guy unless you want to make some sort of a deal with and you certainly don't make him suspicious although you might well make eye contact in terms of giving him that the idea that you want something. this pizza shop here. that could be alive depending upon how late that's open that pizza shop could be a place where people are going to congregate they're going to go there are late at night place it's open 24 hours a day or a very very late that's where people want to go after the bars and they want may want to keep the party going a little bit so that would be a good place to sell. join
