Got pulled over last night.. to make a long story short I was following somebody else in front of me and got pulled over for making a rolling stop, so I pull over and give him my license, insurance, and registration, and then he asks me if I had anything to drink tonight.. and of course I reply not at all. After that he asks me to go back and sit in his patrol car with him while he calls in my plates and writes out a warning. Just curious as to why he wanted me to come back to the car with him, it's not like I wasn't cooperating or was going to run (no way I could out run his Dodge Charger). Usually they have you stay in your own car. He also seemed pretty nice towards the end, which was nice.

Did he have a gun in his pocket or was he pleased to see you?
On a more serious note, I believe the reason is to stop you even trying to drive off. Regardless of whether or not you could outrun the officer in a potential chase, the risk of causing an accident, involving other vehicles, during a high speed pursuit would be extremely high?

That very well could be.. although it would be dumb to run for a warning. What I also found strange was he didnt call in his location untill after we were back in the car.

I know the IA State Patrol always brings you back to the sqaud car when they pull you over and issue a ticket. They had my mom enter her information into the cop's laptop when she got her ticket. Its most likely just dept. policy.

Judgement call really . . . there is no standard in Alaska as to whether to bring the subject back to the Squad or allow them to stay in their own vehicle.
Several things come to mind.
a) Perhaps the officer had some doubt as to your non-consumption claim. Bringing you to his car would allow the officer to observe you further while the warning citation was written.
b) Maybe that's standard procedure for his department.
c) The officer didn't want you to lose your mind and drive off . . . thereby turning a warning citation into a car chase.
Just random thoughts on that.
For the record, rarely do I bring anyone back to my unit. I mean, this IS Alaska, we have like 5 major roads. Where the hell you gonna run to where I work. It's 480 miles south to Fairbanks and there's only ONE road. There's Trooper at Coldfoot 230 miles from here, if I can't catch you, he will. And Bob doesn't have the same good sense of humor that I have.

Just wrong and unsafe. Sounds like to me he was lazy. (I suppose that he approached your car on the left side also).
Problems with having you sit in the partol car, #1) you're close to his weapon; #2) should dispatch advise of a problem, the bad guy will have the jump on the officer, #3) what if the patrol car is hit from the rear while you're sitting in while he writing, its call liability, if you're injured the check from the department will have several zeros at the end. In Arizona a couple of highway patrolmen were sitting in their vehicles writing when they were hit from the rear and the Crown Vics exploded, killing them.
The officer should be standing in a safe area (well at least as safe as possible) next to the vehicles and write the paperwork there. In my humble opinion the only time an officer should write a citiation in the vehicle is in bad weather, like when its -60 windchill in Michigan. So what if you drive off, the officer has your and the vehicle identification, and besides whats the wisdom to have a pursuit over a minor traffic violation in this situation, always can do the paperwork for a warrant if you do drive off.

Agree. I've seen a few departments do this, mostly state troopers (Michigan included when I lived there). I've never understood the concept. Iowaman, you didn't mention it so I will assume the officer didn't pat you down before having you sit in his vehicle. Serious officer safety concerns there. At that point, he still had no idea who you were (I've been handed a bogus ID and vehicle information on more than a few occasions), if you had any wants, and probably had no information on your plate or vehicle yet.
Quoting AirCop (Reply 11): In my humble opinion the only time an officer should write a citiation in the vehicle is in bad weather, like when its -60 windchill in Michigan.
When I was brand new and only had a few months on the job, the officer I was "training" with and I made a stop on a vehicle that rolled through a stop sign (my FTO had called in with a family emergency and my Lt. stuck me with a guy who had over 20 years on and had, let's say, developed some bad habits). It was one of those cold winter nights in Michigan and the windchill was somewhere around -20 (yeah yeah ANC....I know...where you come from, that's considered shorts and t-shirt weather). The driver stops and I reach for the door handle to get out and my partner says, "Sit tight rookie". The asshole then gets on the P.A. and orders the driver to walk back to our vehicle. wtf? This would have been wrong under any circumstances but the busted out passenger side window that he either didn't see or just disregarded (which can be a sign of a freshly stolen vehicle) added to the potential for the stop going to shit rather quickly. Anyway, contrary to what I was told by my dumbass partner, I exited the vehicle and stood at the rear so I could watch the driver as he walked back to us (I should have told him to stay put). The car wasn't stolen but the guy ended up being wanted on a couple of misdemeanor charges.

I know you're only speculating, but again, piss poor officer safety practice if you ask me. I prefer to observe someone while they're seated in their vehicle with their hands in plain view. If they've consumed any significant amount of alcohol, it's probable the odor will be on them and in their vehicle. Doesn't make any sense to me to have them exit their car and have a seat in mine if sobriety is questionable.

You win. Besides, last time I argued a pollock and cars, I got a boot up my ass after I said BMW was better then Merc (which it still is, btw)
No, I put 4xbottles of NOS-> in my Blazerm stole a Grand Prix GTP supercharger and added that also.

Some guy here drives a 1992 Dodge Caravan with a modified 5.0L V8. Sometimes I see him takeout Acura's on red lights...first time I saw him I nearly soiled my pants though.
