uh, kinda, this is largley disputed. and cannot be "legally" discussed because it would no longer be useful if the general public knew why they did.
for example:
http://forums.officer.com/forums/sho...t=83993&page=5
the general thing said to "cover up" why they touch the rear of your car is to see if its on. this is a lie. and only said to hinder why they actually touch it.
the reason they touch it (trunk, quarter panel,tail light, ect.) is to put there prints on it to trace there presence back to them being there. if the general public knew this it would be pointless. its for officer safety by establishing another physical link between them and you if anything were to happen.
thats why i made the sticker you would not notice this unless you get pulled over ALOT or watch ALOT of COPS. so some of them get a good chuckle out of this, and get the point that by driving my little rice rocket around i get pulled over so much that finger prints on my carbon is annoying.

Again, this is general population knowledge for the mere fact that it has been publicized to the general population, now whether or not if a person watches the shows that have detailed the reason why they put their finger prints on the back of a car is not the point.

Are you serious? I would think the radio to the base station, the in car video, and the on person audio would take care of accountability. But keep on believing that...
