No we
don't have problems. Their ALWAYS handcuffed behind their back, seat
belted
in and within arms reach, so I'm never worried. There's a radio rack between
us, so
they can't try and kick the pedals or anything. It's better having them there
because
you can always see what they're doing,
unlike with them riding in back
behind a partition,
out of sight.
They don't
usually go nuts enough to cause any
problems. If they should, I pull over and can deal with it.
Roth is, or was a frequent contributor To C&D cop forum. His poignant observation that being able to see your prospective adversary has an advantage over not being able to see their actions is sad because it should be self-evident. Most people in favor of taxi partitions give this little thought.
The two applications bring about radically different modes of use. Taxis with partitions versus cruisers with partitions."Pulling over and 'dealing with it'" are not suggested procedures for cab drivers.
