^ Frank, you are correct about "rolling" meaning a vehicle

This jargon must have a different meaning in our two areas. A "roller" in
California has always been a request for a 10-28/1-29 on a moving
vehicle --
one that has not yet been stopped. It's used by patrol officers. The term
is
used as follows:

UNIT: Paul 6 with a roller. (Or ... clear for a roller?)
DISPATCH: Go ahead.
UNIT: California 9ABC876.
DISPATCH: No wants, registration is current to a ...

In years past the term was used as "Paul 6, rolling 28/29 on California
9ABC876" but the term is now so common in the state that it's been
condensed
to just "roller" in many areas.

I concur with Frank on this one, "28/29 on a roller". Also, I I'm pretty
sure I've heard CHP units on accident scenes use it as in "Can I get a
roller and a regular rig" - the roller being a flatbed roll back tow vs. a
regular tow.......
