I am not real familiar with warrants, other then what I have seen on telivision. Constitutionally it seems that they need to have probable cause to wire tap. Shouldn't that be an easy thing to get if you have the intellegence? I mean come one, if I am making routine calls to the middleast and recieving packages with odd smells that are caught by bomb sniffing dogs...that would be a pretty good reason to at least tap my phone. If I were to be consistantly contacting the middle east in known terrorist areas is that not enough to get a warrant?
Why should the government even need to have a warrantless program? "insert quote attributed to ben franklin about giving up safety and security and deserving neither" Its dangerous to advocate or support unconstitutional behavior. Especially when the government is so good at turning a blind eye and rationalizing.

Do you think it would be a good idea if Cops had a camera device on their person while they were on tour so that every single thing the cop saw was recorded to a small flash drive of some type.

I think it would help police dispute claims of corruption and illegal activiy or negligent homicide in the event of a shooting.

As for placement, I think it could be put into an article of clothing such as the hat or the shoulder similar to what is done in sting operations.

The way I see it, the only reason anyone should be against this is if they are doing something used to doing something they shouldn't be doing or want to hide.

I asked an NYPD cop about this and he was immediately against it.
Of course, this cop also ran outside his house once firing shots at someone who tried to steal his car and got suspended for it for a couple weeks without pay.

I'm a bit of a bueareacrat but I believe if Cops have the power to kill, they should have the burden of proof placed on em.

take time off from my 3 jobs to join her but she said it would be a tight fit in her car. She's never let me ride in her Hummer, but it looks like it might be spacious enough. But I guess it's best that I try to get some overtime to help make the payments on it. Still for some reason, I can't stop worrying if she'll be all right. After all it is quite a long drive to Las Vegas. Do you think I should just hop in my Pacer and follow her?

Which gun do you perfer best?

The Glock 9mm, the Smith and Wesson 9mm or the Sig Sauer 9mm?


Which gun would you be most afraid to see in the hands of a perp you engage?

#1 a Socom .45 or USP .45
#2 a Glock 9mm
#3 a Desert Eagle .50 Caliber
#4 a 5/7

from what I've seen of bullet resistant vests, they don't protect against .50 cal rounds and they can't stop a 5/7 either.

i have been through the QnA over this platform. All i could see was an anti-muslim hatred spread by some sick fellas that won't use their heads at all, and are totally biased as brainwashed by the bush's policies reflected through the strong media they have.
all you come accross is the big BLAME, "muslims are terrorists".... ever ponder on what you say. no you dont, realize all you have in your brains is trough indirect sources that youve decided bluntly to rely upon meanwhile we lack sources to propogate us..you think CNN or BBC is doin a good job haan...no its just a one man show, but the silence won't prevail much long.theres an end to every thing..there is a fall after every rise, and a rise after every fall. you guys are just being through your maximun rise and full of ego and arrogance.Your abhorance invites the frustrated innoscent muslim who just can't take it anymore in front of his TV set, to come out n take some down with him while hes bound to perish some day, I question.

The US foriegn policy is what got them the international hatred .

If the US would just stop "liberating" people wouldn't everyone be happy?

If the US is nuked from within it will be by enemies they have gone out of thier way to make . Again the world would be happier and safer if America just stayed in America.

They claim they have to save the world from petty dictators but do they ? I don't recall the UN ever asking the US to do anything if anything the UN has repeatedly asked them to stop doing things.

Who thinks the way to solve most of the international problems is for the US to go back to it's isolatioist ways and stay in America.

They pull back every last troop from these "s-hit- hole" countries and go home and stay there.

Would that not stop the attacks on the US?

Yanks go home?

Am I wrong in assuming that the hollowpoint bullets cops use have trouble going through car doors and windows when they need to shoot a perp inside a car?

Do full Metal Jacket rounds have any problems penetrating through car doors / car windows?

I've never shot a person inside a car, but I have shot out windows with .177 ball bearings with no trouble at all with a bb gun velocity around 400 Feet Per Second.
I would assume a 9mm slug would have almost no trouble but I hear that isn't true.

Hostage Barricade Teams are more commonly referred to as Hostage Negotiation Teams (HNT) or Crisis Negotiations Team (CNT). Crisis Negotiations Team is becoming is a more politically correct reference as Crisis Negotiator's can respond to more than just hostage situations. CNT's can respond to virtually any type of situation involving a subject or subjects that have barricaded themselves, typically inside a residence or commercial building. Many barricade situations involve a subject who wants to commit suicide or want to be killed by the police (suicide by cop).

When responding to a hostage/barricade situation, CNT will attempt to "negotiate" with the barricade subject. These negotiations can take place over a bullhorn, telephone landline, or cellular phone. In some instances a "throw phone" will be deployed by an agency's tactical team to allow for the CNT to establish communications.

In Britain and America, do you think Muslims attempting to obtain a pilot's license will be discriminated against? Perhaps even disallowed? Should they be allowed? Why or why not? Will it be hard for Muslims to even board a plane, considering recent events?

US experts claim it's only a matter of time before terrorsts build and plant a nuclear bomb inside the borders of the US - do you think it's likely and where do you think they would hit?

Would it be three or four simitanesous strikes and would that take out the majority of people ?

Since the US has a lot of nukes in the ground (waiting to be launched) do you think that could be used against the Americans ? For instance if a terror cel detonated a nuke right beside a silo wouldn't that end up being the equivilant of 2 bombs for the price of one?

How long do you think America the radio active could survive ?

Would the UN have to go rescue them ?
