Law Enforcement & Police - October 2006

I was reading the news today about the big brush fires in Palm Springs and how they knew the fire were caused by an arsonist. I'd like to know how investigators can figure that out when any evidence would seem to be destroyed by the fire itself.

I've tuned into the radio and searched the web, but I can't find what was happening about 10:00 AM and may still be going on. The cops had the whole area taped off and I saw SWAT members on several roof-tops with rifles at the ready. There were also helicopters above - anybody know what's happening?

I have fallen out with my dad, and although I'm not stopping him seeing my kids (aged 1 and 4), he has threatened to see a solicitor because I told him I was busy on the two times he's asked to see them...which I was, I would NEVER use my children to get at anyone

He then text me saying he was going to get social services to pay me a visit, which has obviously upset me. I know I have nothing to worry about, but I don't want my children having social workers or being on registers, so I'm absolutely disgusted that he'd stoop this low.

Just to fill you in, he was with my mum til I was 7, he beat us both and I saw him semi-regularly after they split, up until I was 13, when he chose his new girlfriend over me because I didn't like her. He got back in contact with me when he found out I was pregnant when I was 21 and we've been in contact since...but only because I thought it would be nice for my kids, we never got close as I still resent him.

So can he take me to court?

My grandson was shot in the leg (which has ended his football season and his quest for scholarships, he is a senior in hi-school) How do we make sure the guys who shot him stay in jail. The action was deliberate as they announced before they started shooting that someone was going to catch a hot one tonight. They were arrested immediately but I want to see they don't get out for a long time. We read about the arrest in the newspaper the next day but have never been notifited by the police. I am fearful that nothing is going to happen. There were 5 people and the car and they only held 2. What rights do we have as the victims.

Is that considered to be bullying or a case for unfair treatment?

Also if a member of the Landlord's family threatens a staff member with violence and the Landlord either doesn't do anything about it or victimises the staff member is that unfair treatment?

I'm not talking about a Landlord who owns the pub himself but one who is employed by a brewery to manage one of their houses.

What would happen then? Why do they have to announce that loudly in the end of most -if not all- cases?

Is it just a matter of time until these new "interrogation" methods are commonplace in United States law enforcement?

Detectives please look at this evidence.
That shows the assault on me and proof that she filed a false police report to cover for what she has done
(In the picture)The foot stool is white where everything in not because. All the couch covers were removed because they were covered with blood.
She sent me this email on the 1 of September with no word that I had done any thing wrong to her on the 31 of August. Why did she wait six days to file a complaint? That’s because she was freaked out that I was going to turn her in and that she could be held liable for what she had done to me that is when she sent me a text massage stating could we talk again. When I didn't call, she panicked and went and filed a false police report.
My hospital records show the damage she did to my face and that cannot be disputed. Not to mention all the seizures I have had sense I was struck in the face. I have never ever had this many seizures in my life.Please help me I'm the victim here.

I have an apple tree, and three apples fell on his side of the fence, I politely asked for them back and he said NO they rotted I threw them away. I said those are mine pay for them. He said no you have a whole tree full.I then went to the supermarket borrowed their scale and found out what they charge per pound for apples and put three apples on it in front of him and requested .72cents. He refused even after I sent him an invoice, now he is telling neighbors I am crazy. Can I sue him for defamation of charactar and slander and the .72 cents?

I"m wondering if the cop that wrote me the ticket (speeding) didn't send it in. It was my first ticket EVER, (I am 32 and have been driving since 16), he was very nice. . .I was on a country road, it was sunny. I was doing 19 over the limit. He was so nice. . .he didn't take my licence away, he suggested to use cruise control and not to go 10mph over the limit. I called the county to pay the ticket and they couldn't find it. (I called two weeks after it was written.) She told me to call back in a week or so. I'll call next week, but I'm wondering if he is just not going to 'turn it in'? Like I said, this is my first ticket, I am new to this. THanks!

My fiance's baby mother side swipped my car this week. The police were called and she took them on a high speed chase. The officer took pictures of the damage and told me that within 2-3 days there would be a report filed. He gave me a case number. I called both insurance companies and have claim numbers. I called today to give the police more information and there are telling me there is no report of the incident and the incident that occured at my address was only a threat. Not true at all! She has called my phone telling me that she will pay for the damage and to lie to the insurance companies that I don't know what happened. My insurance company is now telling me I have to pay a $500 deductible and they will send her a letter, but there is no guarantee I will be reimbursed because it was an intentional hit.

My husband used a credit card out of financial desperation before we met. At the time the interest was low and he would have been able to pay it off but then suddenly they raised the interest rate to the highest and he was unable to pay. He informed them of this and they didn't care. Now years later he has a court summons. I just wondered if we need worry about the outcome.

does it actually have more knockdown power than a .44mag, .45, or 357mag?

is it practical in any way or just a showpiece?

back in the day, would dirty harry have preferred it to his .44mag?

Just had a letter telling me I turned a corner just as a traffic light had turned red last week at 17mph and they intend to prosecute me. It was obviously amber and I just didn't stop in enough time. This has never happened before so what exactly is the penalty I'm facing for something like this?
