Ask the BellHunters

Hello, I'm Dawn Hunter-Bellwether...er, formerly Dawn Bellwether if you didn't recognize the added surname. And before you ask, yes 'that' Dawn Bellwether. Ex-Assistant Mayor, Ex-Mayor, Ex-Criminal Mastermind (Reformed thank you very much), City Savior, Controversial Author, and Predator/Prey relationship advocate. I'm also, as you probably guess by the hyphenated last name, married, and happily so to my mate Vernon Hunter, a gray wolf. I'm also a mother to three wonderful pups, something I never thought I'd ever have the chance to be! But, lamb sakes, I've gushed enough about myself here without explaining exactly what this blog is for. You see, after the release of my book “Predator Seeking Prey”, our little family started to get a lot of public attention again, and with it came a lot of question from curious mammals and other pred/prey couples from all over Animalia. My best friend and mate Vernon thought it would be a good idea to deal with these questions directly by opening a sort of blog/forum and taking those questions about our lives directly. Since then, I'd like to say our little blog has been quite successful, with even members of our family and friend circle pitching in and taking a few questions as well. So with all that said., please feel free to Ask Away!


Oh, and also, feel free to check our old location for previous asks until we can get a better archive system in place!

(Blog Author Note: This blog is based on the fanfiction “The Rehabilitation of Dawn Bellwether” as well as it's pseudo-sequel “A Lamb Among Wolves”. If you haven't read them, it'll probably help you better understand what's going on here if you do. I'll link both stories below. Oh Also, I'm open to questions as well. Simply direct “Author” emails to “WastedTime” when composing them. And before I forget, I have a Patreon! Five dollars gets you access to in progress fics, Ask priority, and art previews of both SFW and NSFW art. Of course, even a dollar would help. Seriously, it's how I keep projects like this alive.

Ask the Police; Bait Cars

 

Dorian: We don't generally use 'bait cars' in the North Meadowlands, mostly cause vehicle crime is real low out here.

Zach: Despite the fact that y'all can see Zootopia proper from the North Meadowlands, we're a bit too rural fer car break ins and grand theft auto to be a major concern. Around here it's mostly about puttin' folks in the drunk tank to sleep off overindulgin', and domestic disputes.

Dorian: Largely petty domestic disputes...

Trenton: I'd say the same goes for the Burrows area. Granted I'm a state trooper, so were mostly focused on speeders and chases.

Wade: So that's a yes on speed traps?

Trenton: Absolutely.

Wade: I'm not sure about the Savannah Central cops, but up in Tundratown we've laid a few bait car traps. Granted, I haven't personally, although I have been called to assist with the apprehension of one er' two bait car catches. Generally though, me and my partner Mavsa er' beat cops. We just cruise around out beat and respond to call-ins and nearby officers needin' help.

Judy: We've actually been on a few bait car stings.

Nick: Honestly, not my favorite part of the job.

Judy: Slick here hates most 'sting' jobs...

Nick: It's because so much nothing happens for like...eighty percent of it. Waiting for the action to kick off can go anywhere from minutes to hours, and I already have trouble staying awake during our day shifts. *Chuckles* It's almost as bad as paperwork.

Judy: Almost?

Nick: Well, nothing is as bad as paperwork. At least stings do have their exciting...and funny moments. *Laughs* Mam' I can't tell you haw funny it is to see a perps reaction on the camera later when we shut down the car remotely and lock the doors. *Chuckles* It's always priceless...

Yuri: Glad I ain't the only one who gets a kick out of the catch cams. *Cackles* Woo Doggie, them expressions and the freakouts. I especially love it when the perp spends the whole time till we walk up on 'em desperately tryin' to restart the car. *chuckles* it's like he just don't get it, his panic has kept him from figurin' out 'oh, this is a sting, I'm stuck.'

Nick: I'll do you one better. One perp we took in tried to insist it was his car when we let him out. It was just 'malfunctioning'.

Yuri: *Cackle* Talk about bein' devoted to the lie!
