  18. OFFICERS ACTIONS DURING STOP • BASED ON SAFETY

  19. It appears the officer is sneaking up to the car and shining a light – Why? • Officers are trained to minimize their exposure to traffic and potential danger from within the vehicle. The bright light helps keep you and the officer safe.

  20. Why do other officers show up? • It may be that one officer is training another officer. • Officer “back up” each other in order to maintain safety for each other in case the person stopped is a “criminal person”

  21. Why does the officer sit in the car for so long? • Technology allows for the officer to “run” information of a license or registration plate. The length of time is often due to waiting for the computer to return the information.

  22. If issued a citation? • Do not argue with the officer • You have the right to contest a citation in front of a judge at a later time • This part does not require an attorney

  23. Difference between UW Police, Oshkosh Police, Winnebago County Sheriff? • Only jurisdiction (Area of responsibility) • UW Oshkosh Police – responsible for all property owned by UW Oshkosh and that portion of any public roadway or highway passing through or immediately adjoining UW Oshkosh Property

  24. DRIVER’S LICENSE INFO • Driving in Wisconsin with a foreign driver's license • Foreign students attending school in the U.S. who are at least 16 years old and their privilege to operate a motor vehicle in Wisconsin is not suspended, revoked, cancelled or disqualified, can drive with their home country's valid license for up to one year. After one year, they must meet the same licensing requirements as a Wisconsin resident. • In addition to having a valid foreign driver's license, visitors are advised to carry an International Driving Permit obtained in their home country, as authorized by the 1943/1949 or 1968 conventions, or attach an English translation to their national driving license. The International Driving Permit is translated into the nine official languages of the United Nations, including English, and serves as a translation to be used in conjunction with the visitor's valid driver's license. It can be useful in emergencies, such as traffic violations or auto accidents, particularly when a foreign language is involved. • Visitors from foreign countries must obtain their International Driving Permit in their native country prior to arrival in the U.S. • http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/drivers/drivers/apply/foreign.htm
