Just trying to find out what others think:
A federal Park Ranger pulled over a car and the driver handed him a expired license. When the officer ran the driver, he came up suspended due to a WMS warrant for failure to appear on driving while suspended and failure to stop. Since we are federal we can not arrest based on a WMS (state) warrant. So our dispatch called Boston to come get this guy. After waiting 45 minutes, BPD showed up they let the guy call a friend to pick him up and take him to court. BPD's reasoning for letting him go is because he promise to go straight to the court house. The guy had a driving record 4 pages long and I doubt he went to the court house to clear this up.
What do you think of letting someone walk who has a WMS warrant??? although the warrant was "minor" because it was for MV infractions, a warrant is a warrant. Just my thoughts.
