do they keep some kind of record that they pulled you over but just let you go, or do they not even bother, and let you off completely without keeping any tabs on you?

In many states, they are required to keep some information on the stop (e.g. race and gender of driver, whether the car was searched, whether anything was found, whether anyone was arrested, summons issued, or warning given) as a result of laws intended to reduce racial profiling. Normally, that does not included personal information on the driver, I am unaware of any state that has a database of warnings given to specifically identified individuals.

In my yrs of service, this is a yes & a no.
IF you were issued a written warning then the 2 departments I worked in both recorded the citation in the databank. That way if you are stopped again but by a different officer, your chances of getting a warning again are slim.
IF you were given a verbal warning then there is no record. The warning stays in the officer's memory only unless he tells some fellow officers.
I also know of some departments who pretty much record it all. On a traffic stop, the officer calls in the driver's name &/or driver's license number. The officer then calls in the disposition when clearing the stop. The information is all entered into the computer as the officer calls it in.

It depends upon the jurisdiction. In Nashville if an officer stops you for a traffic violation and releases you with a warning they are stilled required to document the stop. The information on the documention provides information on the person (no name) and the stop itself. It was initiated several years ago in response to complaints of racial profiling. They do not keep tabs on you.

There is usually some type of paper trail, because they have to file a report. At a minimum there is a file in thier database, because even if you only get a warning, your license plate drivers license are checked to make sure your information is accurate and your vehicle is legal.

Nope. If he did no longer supply you a quotation you probably did no longer get a cost ticket and there is not any longer something which will go on your checklist. yet, rather, decelerate and you does no longer would desire to difficulty approximately working a yellowish-purple gentle interior the 1st place. i'm hoping no longer getting a cost ticket does no longer mean you will shop employing by way of purple lighting fixtures furniture.

Yeah, where I live and work it is usually documented on as a verbal/written warning. But some places are different.

They turn in the paperwork to prove they're doing their job. I don't think it goes into any kind of database.

No. Your free to go. Cops hate doing paperwork. If he lets you go, there is no record of it.
