We were with the West Yorkshire Police again today. Four of my colleagues were able to go on foot patrol with the UK Counter Terrorism Unit. They learned how to read body language and how to identify suspicious behavior. I was sent to be with the traffic police for an evening shift. They are located at a training compound along with the only firing range in the county. The UK traffic police have a very advanced license plate scanner. There are cameras on the front of the car, the back, and the side, so each car that goes past us is scanned and checked for issues with the inspection, insurance, vehicle tax, or owner of the car. Lists of suspicious cars in the area are also reported to their license plate scanning tablet. The CCTV has great coverage. On average, a person will be on 150 CCTV cameras every day. So CCTV scans the license plates as well, and when a "wanted" car is spotted, traffic goes and pulls them over. My officers were Steve and Ray, two old dudes. They were so nice and so funny. Steve has been on the service for 19 years and Ray has been for 21 years. The first thing we did was go to the head forensic science department building. As soon as they heard that was my area of study, they were determined to get me a tour of the lab. They begged and pleaded with the director and secretary. Unfortunately, since we were on an evening shift on a Friday, most of the forensic scientists were gone for the weekend. I can at least say I went into the building and got a picture of it from the outside. The first couple hours were slow. We patrolled the motorway and some other poor sections of the city to deter crime. We pulled several people over for insurance and other infractions. It is quite fun when we get to put the blue lights on and chase people down. Something that was majorly shocking to me is their ticketing process. Once the police pull someone over, the person is asked to turn off their car, and get in the back seat of the police car. The citizens do not resist at all. Steve said t gives the police more control over the situation. But I was just totally shocked by the citizens sitting in the backseat with me being completely compliant with the officers and accepting all charges against them. I believe the UK police also have a greater power to seize vehicles that have something wrong with them. I guess the highlight of the night was when we made a woman cry. Her car hadn't paid the vehicle tax since January 2019. She was very upset since she was a member of the local Council, and genuinely believed that her partner had taken care of the tax. She had to call him down to sort out the issue in case her vehicle needed to be seized. One of the reasons she was so upset was that she thought I was with a TV show. In the UK, camera crews can often ride with the police to film their day for a sort of crime reality show. She was concerned that the fact that a Council member not paying her tax would look very bad to her bosses if it made the news. She eventually calmed down and was able to drive her own car away despite the missing tax. I also did not take many pictures today. All of the police vehicles have a sticker on them that says, "Trying Hard to be Dementia Friendly," but I did not get a chance to take a picture.
