ULPT how to get someone pulled over?

Posted by sfnoelle@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 30 comments

I just escaped a physically and financially abusive relationship. Ex drives around with no license and insurance and I’d like for him to get caught. How can I get him pulled over without getting implicated for filing a false police report?

Have sex with a traffic cop and tell them about your ex.

Call in anonymously and say you daw a car swerving and changing lanes recklessly, you think they may be intoxicated.

And then when he denies, and says "check the cameras" she gets caught for filing a false report. Lol

The whole point is to get him pulled over because he's driving unlicensed and uninsured .

I want to chime in and say that's not a right answer.

I know I'm late to the party, but you can call that in an officer can go observe the vehicle but unless they observe the behavior themselves an anonymous call is not enough for probable cause to pull them over.

The officer would have to see some sort of infraction themselves.

If they've received a call, there are plenty of things the officer can/will "see" when they respond

This works, because I've done it a number of times (for legit purposes) and watched cops pull the offending driver over.

Note they will ask for your name and contact info so just be prepared when they ask.

You can also tell the you don’t feel comfortable sharing your personal info

Don’t do this because it can track back and then he has dirt on her for being malicious

Is reporting a legitimate crime malicious?

It might feel that way to the person being reported, but if it is true, is there any defence.

Do you even have to lie? Report anonymously that an unlicensed, uninsured car is on the road.

I'm sorry this happened to you. You're safe to report just that. You know he's committing a crime by driving around. You're concerned about the safety of other drivers.

It's best to provide specific times and places that you know he's at.

This is not a false police report. It's an accurate report.

Yeah I would just say an acquaintance told OP they drive uninsured. Don’t bring up them being an ex.

Lack of insurance is the big issue...

You can also remove the year expiry number.

NOT having that is a big problem.

Cops are ignoring expired plates though.
