A dangerous habit

In this day in age, police departments are said to be advising cops not to practice the ritual of tail light tapping anymore. The reason being that the noise made whilst tapping can make it easier for criminals to identify the exact location of a cop they might wish to shoot or do other harm to; especially in the dark.

Not at all what I thought

I really found all this information so interesting when first reading about it. In closing, I would just like to add that I always believed the reason behind the tail light tap was because the cop was checking to make sure the car’s lights were all intact and in a legal state.
Just goes to show that we are never too old to learn something new.
