1032JBT
LEO and PROUD of it.......even if others aren't
1032JBT, my oversight. Conversion (shoplifting) gives an officer a chance to write a ticket to first time offenders allowing officers to remain on the streets instead of too much time in booking for that .98 candy bar.
Yes that is true, but it is the same amount of paperwork if I write the ticket or if I book them in jail. One way has a booking sheet and the other way has a ticket. If I gotta do the paper they might as well take the ride.
And BTW......FWIW, before I would do this for a .98 cent candy bar they would have to have a very lenthly history in which case I wouldn't care in the slighest. Normally for low amounts like that they more than enough chances to either pay or have someone get to the location with the $$ too pay so I don't have too do the paper at all.
