I have stopped many military vehicles for traffic violations on the Installation. If the vehicle is a Military or GSA vehicle, they would get a DD Form 1408 (Armed Forces Traffic Ticket). POV's driven by service members, DOD employees usually DD 1408, or DD Form 1805 (United States District Court Violation Notice). DD 1408 = no fine, goes through the Chain-of-Command. DD 1805, = fine, goes to Federal Magistrate. We have issued DD 1805 to civilian visitors for violations of State traffic laws.
JUst because they are driving a military of GSA vehicle does not give them the right to disregard the traffic laws.I don't need probable cause to search your vehicle... AR 190-5.

funny how things differ from post to post, if it is a tactical vehicle driven by a soldier then it is 1408, if it is driven by a civilian then 1805, any other vehicle is 1805 GSA or not. if it is a tracked vehicle it must be escorted by a lead and follow vehicle, if speeding then lead gets 1408 but al get FI’d and an RBE is done up to give to the command. Thankfully that is a rare thing to happen.It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others.

Roads that military equipment travel on are usually not the same roads that civilian traffic drive on. Most large installations have several, like around 5 rush hours a day. If you wanted, you could sit there and run traffic all day long and not even make a dent in the population.

MP points = tank follows!
MP = first in & last out!

I was running radar on night on hood bored out of my mind and saw 2 M1's running back in from the field radar read 55 so what does a bored spc do he pulls them over. I make the stop the TC pops out of the hatch and looks at me like are you seriously pulling me over. I gave it a good laugh and sent them on there wayDedication gets you to the door, commitment gets your through it
