Decatur Proactive Policing Continues
Decatur Metro | May 10, 2011 | 10:35 amYou may recall my car’s brush with the law almost two years ago. (Geez, has it really been that long?)
Well Nellie’s got a new story to report.
A friend of mine on Forkner found a blue sticker on her car steering wheel left by the police warning her the doors to the car were unlocked. The car was parked in her driveway at the time. Do you know anything about this program? It seemed rather bizarre the police could enter her car on her property without her permission or a warrant! I figure you might have gotten some sort of notice or release about this if it’s legit…
It happened to me two years ago, so yes, this is a legit program run by the Decatur PD. However, my car was parked in the street when I received my warning from DPD and they left the ticket on my windshield, not inside my car. (They even came back a week or so later and noted that my car doors were now locked)
I’ll check with the police and ask about standard protocols for this program.
