[0:04] [Music] [0:05] All right, I'm going to give you a [0:07] warning, okay? Because it would be more [0:10] fair if I could get the other person and [0:12] give them a ticket as well, but you [0:14] can't let people get to you. I I get it. [0:16] Yeah, he he kind of cut me off and I [0:18] just I know I shouldn't. [0:19] Sure. It's frustrating. Been a long day. [0:21] I get it. But I want you and everyone [0:23] else to be safe and [0:25] uh Officer Peterson with Lakeville [0:26] Police. Uh I've been with Lakeville for [0:28] just about a year now. I have 10 years [0:31] experience at a local county agency [0:33] prior to coming here. Right now we're [0:36] out kind of patrolling uh the city of [0:38] Lakeville. Um just taking our calls as [0:41] we need it. Uh in between we're looking [0:43] at doing some traffic enforcement. Hi, [0:45] how we doing? [0:46] Good. [0:46] Driver's license insurance. So reason [0:48] I'm stopping to talk to you. Uh in [0:50] Minnesota we have what's called the FOS [0:51] law or move over law. So when there's [0:53] two or more lanes and we're on the side [0:55] of the veh on the side of the road cars [0:57] I couldn't [0:58] you had probably a good two car lengths [1:00] to be able to move over that red SUV was [1:02] quite a ways behind you. [1:03] Yeah. For me a lot of it's education. I [1:06] don't write a lot of tickets. Um if you [1:07] get a ticket for me it's it's either you [1:10] haven't learned from past contacts or [1:12] experience uh or you have a disregard [1:14] for law and public safety. Um, but I [1:17] think a lot of what we do is, you know, [1:19] we kind of try to focus on a lot of [1:20] education, a lot of enforcement in that [1:22] route to kind of um, get a better [1:26] picture across to everyone. And [1:27] sometimes it's uh, works, sometimes it [1:30] doesn't. Sometimes we come across the [1:31] same people later on and they haven't [1:33] learned and then sometimes a citation is [1:35] needed. [1:36] All right, hop out. We're just going to [1:38] go to the front of my squad here. Okay. [1:40] What's the reason? Because I can smell [1:42] alcohol and based upon some of the [1:44] driving conduct and stuff like that, I [1:46] can investigate you for impaired [1:47] driving. Harder. Blow through it. Blow [1:49] through it like you're blowing a [1:50] balloon. [1:52] Okay. [1:54] So, based on that and where you're at [1:56] for timing and what you're telling me, I [1:57] believe you. Okay. Understand? When I'm [2:00] looking for alcohol and stuff like that [2:02] and I have the smell, I'm just going to [2:04] check it out to make sure everything's [2:05] okay. [2:05] I get this. [2:07] Uh, you know, it's an exciting job. I [2:09] mean there's a whole part of you know [2:11] helping people and stuff like that but I [2:12] feel uh it's you know interesting to be [2:14] able to make an impact on people's lives [2:17] where you can um you know there's a few [2:20] percentage of people that are really fit [2:22] for this job and uh you know when you [2:25] have that calling it's uh rewarding and [2:28] fun to you know be able to go out there [2:31] and help people out.
