Corrected entry: When the police officer relays the taxi's licence plate over the radio, he uses the phonetic "queen" to relay the letter Q. As a trained police officer, he should know that the phonetic "Quebec" should be used for that letter.

Correction: Last year, I was stopped by a police officer who struggled with the phonetic alphabet while calling in my licence plate (something she must have done several times a day). Trained professionals forget things, or get confused, just like the rest of us.
