I'm not even sure incriminating is the right word as much as idiotic, especially for a undergrad criminology major not to mention a PHd student. Assuming he had his car there for months, I don't know why you would change it all of a sudden after you committed a crime unless you were just stupidly nervous and unable to control your emotions.

You are literally drawing major attention to yourself to change a license plate for a vehicle matching the description of a major local crime.

If he has done everything mentioned he's one stupid SOB.

Here I was thinking the murderer might have pulled it off. The police just kept very quiet and knew they were going to find the perp.

FBI didn’t have them stop the car. I’m in LE and know a really good interdiction guy in Indiana.

There’s things LE looks for to indicate criminal behavior and Kohberger did all of those things prior to both stops. Indiana has a fantastic interdiction program running their interstates, most of the interdiction is drug interdiction but criminal behavior is criminal behavior.

The guys that stopped them knew something was up with Kohberger but at first believed it was drug trafficking. I kind of understand why people put FBI on a pedestal but they absolutely lean on local agencies a lot more than they are willing to admit.

I appreciate that but I’ve also never seen a vegan body builder so there’s some truth to it in my mind, at least.

There are actually quite a few... or at least they claim to be vegan or vegetarian.

What are you trying to say? The stops were random but they notified people higher up after the stops were made that he was very suspicious?

This made me laugh! So those guys are so good that they just had a feeling about that car out of the thousands they see on shift? Yea ok. They aren’t that good.

I saw it on the news that the FBI asked for a stop not only to see his hands but to get a mental state check being they couldn’t arrest him yet. According to the report it’s fairly common.

They were not instructed to stop the car by the FBI, there were criminal indicators that Kohberger displayed while driving that drew their attention.

And no there’s systems in place to alert people whenever a tag is ran or a name is ran. Interdiction officers often ask a lot of questions during that initial encounter to determine if the driving pattern indicated criminal activity or if they were just nervous from seeing a cop.

And the reporting is 100% wrong, it was a cold stop.

Gorillas are vegans.Tangle with a gorila and see how that works out.

Seems very odd to me the FBI would ask Indiana to stop him twice. Why would you not have one stop in say South Dakota and on in Indiana? That seems like a good way to piss off a serial killer and give them a hint you are onto them?

To induce stress hoping if he did get suspicious they could trade off tipping their hand [slightly] with a mistake. E.g. since father was with him you know his intended destination is father's home. If he suddenly changed those plans as in asked the father to rent a car and he goes to some other destination they can either adjust the surveillance or use a federal warrant and make him an interstate fugitive.
