Such a thing as a "Do Not Detain" order?

[trooper2899]

That "I pay your salary" line often results in having a quarter returned with your "Yellow Bird" "Oh and here's your refund"

 

[Muss Muggins]

A long time ago, in a county far away we pulled over a local wanted for Murder along with a car full of other wanna bee's. When the Dispatch went out that he was apprehended and NCIC called, the Dispatcher received a call from a three letter agency that said in essence 'do not detain this individual". Charges on the murder warrant were dropped the next day. As a Search and Rescue ride alone officer when I asked the Officer I was accompanying later he said "I was told my pay grade was not high enough to know what happened". Hey-sus left the area and never returned as long as I lived there.

Yeah, I used to make those calls. Almost always had to field three or four return calls from exasperated supervisors and then make at least one call to the Chief or Sheriff, and sometimes the Mayor or City Manager . . .
