Law Enforcement & Police - September 2006

Okay, I'm trying to write something for class, and it's about a book we read. In the book this guy tries to kill this other guy. They make their way to town and everyone in town makes a fuss and has somewhat of a semi-trial. They end up finding out who did what, but since it was a semi-trial... no one went to jail... well .. not yet. The guy who was getting killed decided not to press charges on the guy who was trying to kill him. So, I'm wondering... can all the other people in town like police can still put the guy in jail? Or is he free to go?

We are being stalked by several neighbors whose identity is known, and real crimes are being committed against us. The Sno Co sheriff does not respond to 911 calls we make (less than a double handful in the last 10 years) Death threats, harassment, theft, attempted intimidation, destruction of property, defamation of character, slander are among the MANY hate crimes these people commit. Is there a government agency that will help with situations like this?

My boyfriends landlord changed his locks and about a week later sold his property. My boyfriend did not pay his rent on time. The landlord sent no eviction notice from the sheriff Dept only a piece of paper( from the landlord) telling him that he would change the locks if he didnt pay his rent. Is this legal? What can he do? His rent was a month late.

i have a friend that stole something from a store, I was with her when she did this! I knew she was doing it, but I didnt take anything. If she had been caught would I have gotten in trouble too or would they have let me go?

At Charring Cross the tube is only a few feet from the river bed. A bomb could be hung from a boat and exploded just above and flood all the underground system. What is being done to prevent this? The police do not seem to check the boats

I was arrested/fingerprinted/ photographed/did a overnight in jail. First I was charged with a felony and the New York DA changed it to a Class A Misdemeanor-3rd Degree Assault. I have not been convicted waiting trial to fight the case. It was a bar fight. Now I am applying to major corporations will I be charged as guilty by potential employees before the trial if the arrest record shows and they will not hire me. In the American court system you are innocent until proven guilty. I am also being sued by the person will that show up as well in the background checks. I am more worried about my arrest record on a pending case for a misdemeanor.

I just watched my 19 yr old son, in handcuffs, be arraigned for a rape that supposedly happened 2 yrs ago.. This girl is accusing him of some really unbelievably horrible things.. Things that I know my son is not capable of. After his arraignment, we finally got to read her statement and NOTHING makes sense.. Her statement is so detailed, it almost seems rehearsed and set up.. My son is no angel, but is trying very hard to straighten up his life.. He holds a full-time job and was just getting ready to get his own apt.
To top it off, this stuff supposedly happened in his bdrm in our home..?? Problem is.. we didn't even live there at the time and he has never actually had his own bdrm where we live.. When we moved in there, he was living with his girlfriend and has only recently, since their breakup, been sleeping in our guest room..
Can anyone even imagine, why now???

I am trying to decide what to do.
My husband and I got into a fight that turned physical a year ago. He threw me around and threatened to throw me off the balcony it was a bad situation. he had me over his shoulder and I was kicking and bit his back while i was trying to get away.
I eventually got away and was able to get out of the apartment. I left for about an hour, when i came back to pick up some stuff so I could leave for my parents I was arrested for assault on my husband. He had called the cops on me saying I had beaten him up. I spent 3 days in jail and never gave a statement. my court date is up in a few weeks and I don't know if i should take the crowns plea or fight the case. they are offering me a conditional discharge with 2 years probation.
I don't feel right pleading guilty. Yet I also don't trust the legal system, the police, lawyers, anything at this point. Supposidly the police took photos of his back where I had bitten him.They didnt take any photos of my injuries.

On the BBC News website, there is a story about Cherie Blair giving a 17 Year Old boy a slap round the head for making bunny signs behind her back at a sports event in Glasgow. A complaint has been made and now she is in trouble with the Police. I do believe she is now a victim of her own self created 'extreme' Political Correctness. All of this PC nonsense is a load of rubbish but now that the creator has been bitten on the a'se by her own creation, do you think we might see a reduction of all of this nonsense now??

I have information on actual drug dealers where I could get an agent in. I am not getting a good response from anyone, since I do have a DUI. But, on the other hand, I am a professional woman, who got caught for speeding and got a DUI. During my time overnight in processing I did meet some people. Actually, now I believe that, now my ex-fiancé ,was drug trafficking right under my nose, coke and or ice from Mexico. I do not want to be guilt by association. I do not do drugs or would have anything to do with them. I know my first statement said I know known dealers, doesn’t mean I do it. I just want to get rid of this information.

This is a weird question. My community has, in the past few years, been facing a massive increase in crime. I would love to make a difference and help curb it but I don't know what to do. I am young and not very sure what I want to do for a living. I have lightly considered becoming a police officer but I have read endless stories and articles about how the politicians of the community are hindering the police department's ability to fight the crime. Due to politics, the police force of the area is taking a big hit at a time when the community needs police protection to be at the forefront of the politicians' minds. The police officers are great in the area and I hold the utmost admiration for all of them (my family has several ties to the department). It just seems that the people in charge are tying too many hands.

Are there any ways short of dressing up in a costume and becoming a vigilante (not literally, of course) to really help my community?

Alright, I got arrested three months ago. Here's what happened...
I was in a neighborhood parking lot at midnight (bad idea, I admit), and was waiting for someone to come by to give them a ride. A cop car comes up, and the officer steps out. Immediatly, the questions begin: what are you doing here, who are you waiting for, etc. Then he asks if I'm high, because my eyes are dilated (it was midnight and dark, of course they would be). So, he cuffs me, searches me, finds nothing. Then he asks if he can search my car, and I consent (bad idea). I'm sure he won't find anything because it had been months since I quit smoking pot. Guess what he finds; a single stem, not even more than 5 cm long, not even worth smoking. He arrests me on the spot and I go to jail. I get a $555 fine, 12 months probation, and have to get a psychological evaluation. The police report reads POSS. OF LESS THAN 1 OZ. MARIJUANA. This was in GA, do you think it was a little over the top? Too broad a charge?
