3. Record Information.  Upon stopping and/or suspected violation is observed, security personnel shall request and record the name, address and driver’s license number of the person along with the make/model and color of vehicle, registration number, nature and circumstances of the violation, and any other relevant information.  Security personnel shall not use any force to obtain such information.  If a suspected violator will not stop or will not furnish the requested information, security personnel shall record the available and relevant information including a description of the driver.
