My understanding is that it’s not for if you run away, but if they go missing, forensics will be able to place them with the car, before they went missing.
This is correct. I went to school to be a cop but quickly saw how fucking cliquey they are and anyone who wasn’t wasnt exactly like them isn’t accepted (I was a dumb kid, forgive me for actually wanting to help people,) so I changed career trajectories. Thank. Fuck. Anyway, yes, thats what they tell you in school - when approaching a vehicle, press your thumb/hand whatever on the rear quarter panel in the event something happens to you, they can place you at the car to make a case against the owner/occupants.
This is so fucking stupid, they generally call into dispatch before interacting with anyone. Just goes to show deeply rooted the fear and distrust is. No wonder they abuse the shit out of people.
Wait, does this mean that any time a cop goes missing, they need to go around looking for their finger prints on random cars until they find the cop’s?
Also seems easy to beat that evidence, just say “yeah, he pulled me over and it’s standard procedure to leave their prints on any car they pull over”.
