Law Enforcement & Police - October 2006

An adult bookstore employee in El Paso, Texas, sued the state after his arrest for showing two undercover officers a device shaped like a penis and telling the female officer the device would arouse and gratify her.
The employee, Ignacio Sergio Acosta, says a Texas law outlawing the manufacture, marketing or dissemination of an "obscene device" including those shaped like sex organs is unconstitutional because it prevents individuals from using such devices, violating their right to sexual privacy.
COME ON!!!!! what the heck is wrong with TEXAS? it wasn't as if they spammed the adam and eve catalog!!! they walked into a sex shop!!!!

I live in Florida. I got a DUI last spring (April). My attorney is trying to get me out of it, and personally I think, why should he? I was driving under the influence.
This whole thing still hasn't blown over. What should I do, give me some advice.
I never drink and drive, it was just that one time and of course I got caught.

I know i know this was REALLY stupid but I asked the lady if it was going to go on my record, I didnt want to ask anymore questions, i was pretty embarrassed, but will I have to put this on my job applications? Im leaving to germany and im leaving to Germany with my fiance thats in the army and we are getting married in a couple of weeks, will the army say something about this? they also said that im going to pay double for what i took and some state fees and maybe penalties, does anybody know what this is and is this something to really worry about? She told me I didnt have to go to court for this.

If you turn someone into the cops, and they call that other person just for questioning and warning, will that be on their record? and background?

5 years and 8 months ago I was caught shoplifting. A contract was written saying I would pay them back. Now almost 6 years later they're threatening to take me to court. I have written and called them stating I wanted a copy of the written instrument to no avail.

Now I've researched the statute of limitations for my state and it is 5 years for written contracts and 4 years for anything else you can think of. I find it hard to believe that after 5 years they would attempt something like taking me to court. Or will they? or shall I say can they?

Is it legal for a store security guard to be off of store premises & identify themselves as a Police Officer? This man was in street clothes & was attempting to gain access into a locked gate, supposedly pursuing a suspect from his store. He flashed a phoney looking badge. I called 911 & Officers arrived. No report! This seems highly illegal & unethical. Can they say they are the Police, when they are NOT? California.

You are the investigating officer at the scene of a homicide. The victim is lying naked on a bed, with a rope around her neck, apparently having died of strangulation. You are charged with photographing the scene. Make a list of photographs you need to take and how you will identify them in later in court.

In the case of a particularly heinous and gruesome crime, the prosecution may feel that the jury should see all the photos related to the crime to impress upon them the viciousness of the crime. Explain how this strategy could backfire for the prosecution.
