Charles Remsberg is the author of Tactics for Criminal Control (1995), the unofficial guide to the Kansas City style of preventative patrol policing that emerged after Kansas City successfully implemented preventative control tactics to lower crime. Remsberg’s book urges officers to “go beyond the ticket” and use routine traffic stops as a starting point for charging motorists with more serious offenses. He instructs officers to look for “curiosity ticklers,” behaviors police officers can construe as “suspicious” to justify traffic stops. For instance, if a motorist looks down at their passenger seat while driving in a bad part of town, it could give an officer reason to suspect the motorist is looking at a firearm, which gives the officer cause for a traffic stop.
