What is the recommended location for an officer to write a ticket?

In the suspect's vehicle
In the front passenger seat of the squad car
At the roadside with a flashlight
In the back seat of the squad car

The correct answer is: In the front passenger seat of the squad car

Writing a ticket in the front passenger seat of the squad car is recommended because it provides a controlled and safe environment for the officer and the suspect. This location minimizes exposure to traffic hazards that may be present when writing a ticket at the roadside. Additionally, it ensures that the officer can maintain proper communication and manage the situation more effectively without the distractions and dangers associated with being outside near moving vehicles. The interior of the squad car offers a stable surface and sufficient lighting, making it easier for officers to complete the paperwork securely and accurately.
