What does it mean (in a cop slang manner) when you "stroke" someone?

I'm thinking it means the same as up here when you "ding" someone, meaning give them a ticket or charge them with something.

LOL I've usually used that phrase to mean somebody just got hit! "That dude I arrested wanted to fight so I stroked him one, then he bled all over the back seat!"

lol cool thread,

Also "yeah i cut that guy some ducks" (i have no idea where this one originated from either)

Not to hijack this thread too badly but I have always chuckled at the phrase, "Tuning a prisoner up so that they run right." or "I had to take one to the shop and tune him up because he wasn't running right."
10/2/2008 7:10:16 AM EDT

For me, if it is something bigger I usually say: "I bombed him for careless" or something like that.

For simple traffic or whatever I say: "I tagged him for speeding".

That used to be part of my violator contact "Press hard...your signing 3 copies."

I hear "stroke" and think of Billy Squier. Not anything I would do to someone on a traffic stop.

Where I work, if you stroke someone, you hit them.

Up here to stroke someone is to give them enough bullshit to think you care and are really concerned about their meaningless problem.

+1 here.

Also, tickets/citations="coupons"

When I "stroke" someone I had to "have a come to Jesus meeting" with them and "lay the healing hands" on them.

Same as JLowe or "Stroke" = "Spank"

when the nice looking females want to try to get out of a ticket, I give them a date they cant refuse..

if they want my number, its listed at the bottom of the ticket.

Same here. And we gotta do alot of stroking in Democratic states.

One of the deputies here says he just gives receipts.

You behave badly in front of him and he gives you a receipt for your poor behavior.  I found that quite an interesting concept, and honestly quite correct.

Here, stroke is write a ticket (as opposed to arrest/warrant), i.e. a quick stroke of the pen.

Thumping, however, is something entirely different.

 Preach on Brother. That's what it means around here too.

Around here it's "pinch" we even refer to our ticket books as "pinch" books.
