Law Enforcement & Police - September 2006

Simple economics dictate that if a demand is there then suppliers will provide. Surely it makes sense to tackle demand by imposing harsh penalties for possession and use of illegal drugs thereby reducing demand. No more 'personal use' defences (try claiming a gun found in your car was for personal use only!) or letting junkies and pot-heads off with a caution.
It needs to become risky and humiliating to be caught using illegal drugs. Employers should fire staff convicted of posession as a matter of routine, instead of offering counselling etc. Punishment should include public naming and humiliation. No more methadone, etc - just cold turkey until they are clean. Until the fun is taken out of the use of drugs then demand will always create supply.
We still need to send suppliers down for a long time but those who use are equally guilty of perpetuating the trade. They have to be made accountable for their antisocial actions that impact on us all.

Has anyone actually said to you, "My taxes pay your salary."
And what was your response?

A few months ago, my house (really just my garage) was burglarized. The thief cracked my top security system: He walked up to my car (which was parked on the street), opened the door (which was unlocked), and used my own garage door opener to open my garage door.

Now I've learned that these criminal masterminds have struck again. My neighbor told me they stole some CDs and stuff out of his car.

I have 3 cars and a 2 car garage so one must be parked on the street. I cover it with a car cover and I have noticed several nights over the past few weeks that the cover has been disturbed.

Okay, so I'm not going to purchase any video surveillance equipment or anything like that. But is there any way to catch this guy? Or just make him pay a little?

Because of a loophole in the law, pedophiles can be drawn to a position of authority over juveniles in detention centers and they get to look at minors under the guise of government authority.

This should not be permitted under any authority. Homosexual pedophiles should not view minors naked under any circumstances. Not even under the guise of public safety.

If minors should be searched for contraband there should be other means such as x-rays or drug dogs.

Minors should not go through the psychological rape of being forced to demeaning rectal searches by sadistic law enforcement officials under any circumstances.

Do you agree?

I'm really concerned for our country. There are so many corrupt police and politicians that I am very concerned just might sell our country out to terrorists that want to do us Americans in.

The Arabs do want to do us in and they've got so much money that they could easily buy our corrupt police force and politicians.

The arabs are probably contributing to the anti gun lobbying groups to disarm America through Corrupt police that way when the arabs unleash some nukes here in the U.S. and all hell breaks loose we will all be powerless and all Americans will be just lambs to the slaughter.

We won't be able to fend for ourselves and we'll be doomed.

This is World War III and we don't need the police disarming American Citizens for a Foreign invasion on u.s. soil because of Foreign lobbying groups funding money to disarm the u.s. constitution.

God Help Us All.

In most of the countries that have strict gun control the police commit most of the murders and kidnappings.

Take Mexico for example. Strict gun control, where most of your murders and kidnappings are committed by the police. Same with the Philippines.

Absolute power breeds absolute corruption, absolutely.

This is what happens when you have the police with absolute power. This is the goal of the police in the U.S. to have absolute power. The police are little by little eradicating guns from U.S. citizens under the guise of protection of society.

I remember after Tianamen square in China when the survivors came here they told us "NEVER LET THEM TAKE YOUR GUNS".

This is what the police are doing now. The overzealous police are criminalizing so much conduct that virtually everyone commits a felony nowadays. Therefore technically they could take virtually everyones guns. Be careful of what you ask for.

You've asked for more police and you've got them.So don'tcry

The Supreme Court in Michigan handed down one of those rulings that makes u shrug ur shoulders and say,"Well, it makes no sense,but it's hardly surprising" The Supreme Court has brought the drug war to the highways.That's not a good place for it.Traffic laws should not be used to entrap users of illegal drugs.But ruling in two traffic cases,a majority of the justices opened the door for that by saying a trace element of marijuana in any driver's body,regardless of whether it has an influence on the ability to drive safely, is sufficient for a conviction of an impaired driving violation.The ruling also said the driver does not have to know he or she is legally under the influence of a prohibited drug.Under the ruling,motorists found to have a chemical byproduct of smoking marijuana can be arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated.All that's necessary is that u were intoxicated at a recent enough point that it could be picked up by a drug test.what do u think about that?

I apologize ahead of time for this question being so long. Ok, here it goes...I am a 21 year old male, full time student, part time cop, and I'm in the air force reserve. I'm majoring in information technology just to get a 4 year degree so it gives me more options and another possible career. I'm in my sophmore year. Ultimately, I want to be a full time police officer. Recently I have thought about dropping out of school and trying to get into the state's academy to be a state trooper. They pay much higher than being a local cop and you are guarenteed a job when you graduate. The only down side is you will more than likely have to move for your first duty station...maybe even across the state for up to a year or longer. Another down side is that I am in the air force reserve so I could be deployed overseas at any time and have to leave the academy. Also there is a girl that I really like and would miss very much if I were to be stationed across the state. What should I do???

How do you feel about all the nations of the world shelling out some dough to get an island for murderers, rapists, child molestors etc. They would have to fend for themselves, feed themselves, and they would be so far away from any country, no one would be threatened by them once they were dropped on this island by helicopter. Think of the money this would save tax payers also !
