Interesting. I recently (or I guess not, it was in November) got pulled over and I wondered why the officer placed a couple fingers on the upper rear quarter panel of my car.

So there is a record of their fingerprint on the car to let investigators know that they stopped that vehicle in case they get killed by the occupants.
They never should have let that out. Anyone with any sense will wipe down the car with alcohol if they kill a cop.

You're right. They shouldn't have let that out... but to be honest, there are many other ways to tell now days. I bet everything recorded on their internal video cameras gets uploaded to a server somewhere instantaneously.

Yeah, but its about collecting as much evidence as possible so that there's no way the scumbag could possibly slip through.

True enough... but how many scumbags watch NPR?
