Can anyone run a license plate for me

[1973911s]

Almost got hit by a younge kid running a stop sign. He continued to run stop signs and one red light. He is going to kill someone, and driving like that in our neighborhood he is going to hurt someone kids. Got his license plate, and want to go over to his house and pay him a friendly visit.

Anyone help?

A few years back a kid in my neighborhood did the same thing. The cop that came by my house went and had a little chat with child and parents. The cop came back to report he was confident the kid would be car-less instead of careless for quite some time.

And really, that's the way to handle it...give the number to somebody who can do something...legally.

Lee is right. I would suggest you call the local Police station. When they get a free minute they will send an officer over to hear the complaint. (or they should) Then the officer will find out who it is and pay a visit.

I don't know what its like there but up here in Canada (Alberta) an officer can actually write the guy a ticket for the offence. But if that is done the witness (YOU) would have to go to court, if it went that far, and tell the judge.

Probably all that would happen is the cop would warn the kid, and hey if that works GREAT!

Have the police handle it if they will. You never know who will come to the door or how they will react. Plus, if you can get their address by running a license plate, the kid might be able to do the same thing and exact a little revenge.

Funny, the cop in my situation made me seem like such a nice guy to the kids parents. He told them that I had decided not to pursue the "wreckless endangerment" charges - I was standing by the street when the kid ran the stop sign and came around the corner sideways.

i am not one to involve the police usually but i dont think that handling this yourself will do you any good, as the kids is probable not afraid of his own parent/guardian and they may not even care that he is a jerk. Plus if you appear to harass the kid then they will lower the legal boom on you let the police know they will handle and i will bet that you are not the only one complaining.

I really hate to bug the police, but sounds like I should.

In some states one can pay a $4.00 fee and the Bureau of
motor vehicles will provide you with the registered owner
and the address. I doubt California is one of them. If this
happened in a residential neighborhood, you can drive
through late at night and usually figure out where the little
worm lives. Reporting it to the police will fall on deaf ears.
Unfortunately, someone will be seriously injured or
worse killed before this clown realizes how much of a danger

Too much BS to get involved. I'm sure your neighborhood punk has friends. You'll wake up to a burned up lawn and your cars vandalized. It never works out well when you go after the other guy.

But then again if you're a renter...

"hate to bother the police"

?????????????????????????

that is what the taxes are for

and as long as you approach the cops with a good "responsible" citizen attitude I am sure they will swing by the kid's house....

Then there is my personal favorite: the potatoe shoved as far up the exhaust pipe as possible. Difficult to diagnose and the punk won't be driving over 5 mph for a while.

I would also go to the fuzz, although I find them rather useless.

years ago a PIA was hit with a bunch of that smelly cheese on his intake and exhaust manifold.. was impossible to remove the stink from the whole car.. and an acidental spill of Coca Cola does wonders on a paint job..........Ron

73911,

If you do not go to the Police and insist on filing a complaint, think how you might feel if this jerk does the same stunt and next time hits and injures or kills someone.

File the report with your local Police and check back with them to see what happened in a day or two. They are there to "protect and serve" the last time I looked. This punk could have killed you and will keep it up until he is stopped or at least slowed down. We all drove a bit wild when young but running stop signs is way over the top and needs to be stopped and now.

If things start to happen around your house in the future then there's always a good 12 gauge...

you could have the street dept put up some slow children playing signs or see if the man will set up radar on your street fo a few days. there is one guy in a saturn that used to go a little to fast up our road. i gave him 6" less everytime i passed him in the 250. he eventually got the point.
