When a cop gives you a warning, does it go on your record at all that you were pulled over?

Question

:S i just got warned.

Answer 1

There is a record of the incident but it does not go on your driver's license nor does it create a criminal record.

Answer 2

If all you received was a verbal warning (some states have written warnings), it does not go on your driving record. Only citations and accidents will go on your driving record.

When I issue a verbal warning, I write the license plate and driver's name and DOB on my daily log, which stays within the department. Also, I run the driver's name thru the computer databases, however it takes a lot to check which names have been run (usually a computer misconduct allegation).

Rest assured, if the cop didn't care about the violation, no one else will, either.

Get a No Cost Background Check Scan at https://bitly.im/aOlnh

Its a sensible way to start. The site allows you to do a no cost scan simply to find out if any sort of data is in existence. A smaller analysis is done without cost. To get a detailed report its a modest payment.

You may not realize how many good reasons there are to try and find out more about the people around you. After all, whether you're talking about new friends, employees, doctors, caretakers for elderly family members, or even significant others, you, as a citizen, have a right to know whether the people you surround yourself with are who they say they are. This goes double in any situation that involves your children, which not only includes teachers and babysitters, but also scout masters, little league coaches and others. Bottom line, if you want to find out more about someone, you should perform a background check.

Answer 4

Where I work... the only time ANYTHING goes into the computer system, is if you were warned about one of two things:

- A serious equipment hazard that you're told to get fixed ASAP
- *You're told to take care of a traffic warrant when court opens

(Note: if it's a slooOooow night, they'll take you in on even a small traffic warrant.. if it's fairly busy.. and that's most of the time.. they'll warn you to take care of it.. Those warnings are almost always entered into the computer)

Not much else goes in the computer though... and if a warning isn't in the computer, unless the same cop pulls you over again and has a GREAT memory.. I wouldn't worry about it.

Speeding and other minor traffic warnings don't go into the computer system where I live.. EVEN when they're written.

Answer 5

Yes only within the police dept. I got warned for illegal tint and next month sheriff pulled me over and wrote me a ticket because it said I was warned. It won't go on your actual driving record.

Answer 6

Police forces may write notes in their notebooks on any activities they are doing.

Police forces may keep records in regards to investigations or act on information they witness or receive and act on that information at any future date, should it be reasonable to do so.

SO while it may not be entered into "court" records or a "regular criminal" records database. The information may be available to the officer or other police officers at a future date.

Never count on information one police officer has about you as being anonymous as cops keep records.. even for non arrest.. including 911 calls and otherwise.. apparently indefinately.

While you can ask for "normal" records to be removed. In crown disclosures I obtained while representing myself I noticed that past incidences involving police even where I was the victim were on file.. in the crown attorneys office.

IMO they will use any and all intelligence sources against you.

While this may be seen to be local.. don't count on it, as information sharing among qualified law enforcement bodies appears to be a common occurance. However generally only during joint processes.

While some records may be purgable.. if anything ever happens chances are the information could pop up.

Answer 7

Not on your criminal or driving record, but it will go into their database on your list of involvements. Next time you get pulled over and they run your license, they will see you were given a warning last time and will most likely ticket you.

Answer 8

no, the local department may keep a record of warnings, so they know if they have given you too many warnings, but they don't go on your DMV record

Answer 9

no, not a warning. Only convictions. Tickets may, if you do not contest them. Often it is as easy as showing up, and the court automatically dismisses the ticket.

So, don't just ignore them, or then you'll be in trouble

Answer 10

No. Thats all it is is a warning
