A "roller" is a term used for a scout car. You might have heard some
plainclothes surveillance units refer to that.


Frank, you are correct about "rolling" meaning a vehicle being followed by
the scout car. It has a different meaning than "roller". Cars will sometimes
call up for a "rolling registration", meaning they want it run through LEIN
fast because its moving.
