A sworn law enforcement officer is one with or without any identifiers.To administer an arrest, he would need proper identification. In the case of a ticket... "A law enforcement officer in a motor vehicle violation is a witness and complainant, and does not need probable cause to issue the complaint." Believe it or not, you can get a ticket without a police officer present when you made your violation. A regular civilian can contact the police and sign the complainant portion of your ticket and appear in court to testify against you...

Is this a real question or just looking for a laugh. It is certainly not true. However, I do know that some departments tell their officers exactly how to dress including the wearing of a stetson and a Trooper seen outside anywhere without his hat on may get a chewing from his supervisor, but no it would not affect the citation. It is that way here the Troopers are supposed to where their stetsons (in the summertime) anytime they are outside. It is not really strictly enforced but that is the case. I suppose if this was a real question this could be how the rumor got started, someone overheard a Trooper saying he must wear his hat on traffic stops. As for the person who posted you can not get a citation if you pull over before the lights come on that is totally wrong. I turn on people all the time who know that I am coming for them and choose to pull off into a parking lot or rest area and I do not activate my lights. There is no need, I mean why draw attention to them and yourself (they appreciate this). Obviously you couldn't be charged with failing to stop without the lights activated but pretty much anything else it does not matter.

In my area, Eastern USA a police officer or state trooper can give out tickets as long as he shows proper I.D., he does not even have to have a full uniform or certainly not his hat. I hope you are not going to try fighting your way out of a ticket on this. Have a good day!

You can report him to his Commander for being out of uniform, but don't think that's going to make any difference in the status of your ticket. Sorry.

Yes they can, although they are suppose to have thier hat on, but it does not make the ticket invalid.

Its not against the law to not wear a hat...It might be aginst the dress code, but it has nothing to do with the law. Would it matter of you sped with a hat on or off?? Same thing... ROFLMAO!!!!!!!

He can issue a ticket without his pants on if he can justify it to his supervisor.

Not sure but I would think he can't beings that is part of his uniform . Sounds silly but could be true. Who knows though. Good Luck!
