You are working a case involving what you believe to be odometer rollbacks. It is your job to obtain a search warrant for the vehicle to further your case, and you must document the reasons why you believe this is an odometer rollback case

List and name five of the ten indicators.


Loose screws or scratch marks around the dashboard where the odometer is located. Fingerprints or debris located on the inner side of the clear plastic covering of the instrument panel where the odometer is located. Numbers that do not appear to be straight or to line up correctly, especially at the 10,000 mark. Sticking of the odometer when the vehicle is driven. Stickers on doors, windshields, or under the hood that indicate mileage at which services such as oil changes were performed. These may exceed the number showing on the odometer. Perform computer checks on vehicle databases. Altered sections of the original title where the vehicle's mileage was written by its previous owner. Wear of brakes, tires, seats, or other vehicle components that is inconsistent with the wear expected for the stated odometer reading. The vehicle is being sold shortly after a new title has been issued. A new title may have been created to cover up mileage stated on a previous title. Many odometers contain security tags and clips where they are attached to the vehicle. These are broken when the odometer is either disconnected or replaced.
