I checked the Sonoma County Superior Court website and also the DMV for CA. These sites do not link to the official laws of the government.

There must be a place, in a book, where the law is written that authorizes a police officer to issue a ticket to a motorist. In this case I was a passenger who, the officer claimed, was not wearing my seat belt properly.

I am considering contesting the ticket and I would like to get the facts first.

Thank you for any information you may have.

I know that casino cruises have to go out three miles away from American soil before they can allow gambling. This would suggest that American laws no longer apply. Is this when international laws come into play? Are there places in the oceans that aren't registered under any nationality? Do laws apply in those places?

I was walking to my mailbox and as I was walking back to my front door I noticed something strange and when I looked at my neighbors window I noticed that he was "doing it" with her dog.

at that time I felt sick to my stomach but I feel I should report this because it is wrong to do that with an animal. This is not a joke to anyone that reads this so please give me honest advise

What factors make the Houston Police Dept. have not enough officers to patrol the city. Aren't there people that want to be police officers, and are filling in the gaps? I just don't get why there is a big police shortage.

This is why cops don't trust anyone.
I know there will be the usual amount of psuedo bad *** comments by the usual jerks here, but for the rest of the normal people, this is what we face every day.
This cop obviously did not learn how to defend himself in the Marines like some of the rest of us. Trouble is, you usually don't wind up fighting just one cop. This is an extreme example, but I have found myself in similar situations lots of times.

Right now I'm in high school and for a good portion of my life I've wanted to have a job in law enforcement. I've recently found out about several law enforcement opportunities. Once I start going to college I plan on having a full-time job with it (quite a few people in my family have it so, I guess you could say it's "family tradition"), particulary a correctional officer. My initial plan is to try it out for a while while going through college and once I graduate I'll decide from there whether I want to stick with corrections or move onto something else in law enforcement. Call me crazy but, if possible, I want to at least give it a try to see if I can do it. So, what I'm really wondering about is if the DOC would even consider hiring me on as a correctional officer while attending college full-time as well. I just want to point out that I've never been convicted of a felony, done drugs, drank, or anything like that before. Also, I'd be willing to work an shift they'd give to me.

Pamela Lawton and her two daughters, 7-year old Joshalyn, 8-year old Jasmine, and two other children ages 2 and 3 were approaching the intersection at Kentucky Street and Negley Avenue when a Pittsburgh Police cruiser signaled for her to pull over.

“I said, ‘What's the problem, officer?' and he said "Get your hands up",' He pulled out his gun and pointed into the passenger side of the window where my youngest daughter was trying to get her seatbelt off. So, I put my hands up.”

Lawton says Tatusko refused to take her identification, never told her why she was stopped and never left the passenger side of the vehicle. She said at one point the officer got so angry he ****** his gun and said if Joshalyn(7 years old) moved again he would “blow her brains out.”

“He clicked the thing back and then he turned off his radio,” said Jasmine. “I was like ‘He's going to kill us.'”

My bf, got into a fist fight with some other guy. Someone called the cops and both went to jail. My bf is out now and is getting a laywer because he is charged with assault. According to my bf, he is looking at more jail time possibly 3 yrs. Is this true? How long can my bf be in jail for? He has a record from before; He got caught driving with no insurance and expired license and an unpaid ticket from years ago. Anyways, will this affect him now?I just need someone qualified to let me know what could happen to him. Also, his lawyer said that if he can come up with $1,100 the lawyer can garuntee maybe a few weekends in jail but he won't have to be there for a year. Does that sound legit? Seriouse answers please.

Everyone keeps refeering to Dog as a hero for capturing Andrew Luster but what everyone doesn`t seem to understand is that there was a personal gain for Dog .Andrew Luster was out on bail for $1 million Dog would have gotten a large percentage of that bail amount which would have totaled $250,000.But due to the fact he captured Luster illegally he was told he was not intitled to the money.He tried to fight that decision in a California court but the judge ruled that he was not given authority to go to Mexico and capture Andrew Luster therefore he was not intitled to any of the money.Who the judge did rule on to get a portion of that money was the women that Luster raped.Now I`m not saying that Dog was wrong for expecting his percentage for capturing Luster after all he is a bounty hunter and thats what they do.But for him to be considered a hero for this is wrong hero`s do not do things for a personal gain and even though he didn`t get the money that was his intentions.

Let's say I befriend a law enforcement official, and during some off-duty time the two of us go clubbing. And during that off-duty time, s/he sees a fight break out or notices somebody smoking pot or whatever. Is s/he obligated to act, and if so, how? Is s/he required to step in on the situation, like paramedics are required to stop and render aid, even when not on duty? Is s/he merely required to report the incident via phone so a co-worker can handle it? In the case of a fight, is s/he allowed to just blow it off as drunk people getting stupid? (I don't expect s/he would be allowed to just "blow off" possession of an illegal substance.)

Answers based off direct personal experience (from either end! ;) are preferred, but anything reasonably intelligent is welcome.

There used to be rulings made that someone could not be forcibly removed from a church or holy building, or be killed on sanctified ground, even where they were being arrested.
Does this rule still exist? Could I use it as a legitamate means of escaping arrest?
