As far as switching seats.....


....that's more rare than it is common. Switching contraband is much more common.
I've had the driver switch seats with the passenger a few times, always drunk or suspended or both and usually ends up in a punch up....

Funny story, my wife and I were in the finger lakes a few years ago. We were driving back to our Airbnb from Watkins Glen. We'd stopped at a winery for a tasting and my wife got a "wine slushy" to go.....tacky I know. Anyway, we were in the Z4MC and stuck in a line of traffic behind some old git doing about 40 for miles.....I finally get an opening an shoot past him along with about 4 other sports cars behind me, my luck a NY State Trooper is sitting in a driveway and out he comes. He ends up a ways back and had to play catch up. I dumped my speed when I say him coming out because I knew he had me. When he got his chance he blew past the cars behind me and then bubbled me.....my wife says "should I throw my drink out the window".....I love her, so I sad not a great idea because you can't know how much the cops love seeing shit going out the window on a traffic stop.

88 in a 50, a nice young Trooper, very polite. We came to an agreement that if I slowed down a bit he wouldn't charge me. My wife sat there with her slurpy not saying much.

The thin blue line.
Gotta love the TBL!!!


Funny thing about people tossing stuff/contraband out of car windows.....



...we can log/geotag the location with the push of a button, and go back and retrieve it based on coordinates.
