Law Enforcement & Police - January 2007

Whether shooting a suspect or an innocent by-stander on purpose or even a child by accident. Do police have to worry they might be prosecuted for there crimes? I ask this because of the recent event invovling a teen inside his home accused of stealing a playstation.

Monday is my court date for careless driving in NJ. It was not a mandatory court appearance but I want to get the points deducted. It was 1:30 in the morning when I recieved my ticket...i was getting out of work. I don't have much money right now since i pay for college tution. Is it possible to ask the court to dismiss the ticket if i am willing to do community service. Also, should i bring a letter from work stating i was leaving work. Im 18 and can't afford my insurance premiums go up. Any ideas. I still don't know what I did wrong, the cop pulled me over for speeding but he didn't clock how fast I was going so he gave me a careless driving ticket...that doesn't matter right now...my problem is trying to dismiss the ticket or get rid of the point without paying a hefty fine. Never heard of community serivce for a traffic vioaltion but is it possible.

I'm doing a research paper on what should be done to pedophiles, and what is the appropriate punishment for them. I've looked up on this, and the years range from about 10-16 years in jail. Does anyone know the exact number of years? What if they are convicted for sexually abusing a child more than once?

This morning I caught a little bit of a sotry about a ploice officer that shot and killed someone in their car. They showed a small clip of video from the ploice car camera.

So which is worse, cooperating and getting a ticket or maybe getting arrested or getting shot?

The car has not been taxed since may05. He use's the car every day so it's not off the road.
What should I do?

I bought a Nintendo Wii on ebay from a guy in CA. I used to live in Delaware, but I now live in PA. This guy used Fedex and shipped my item to an old address in DE. The person now living in my old apartment in DE forged my name and now has my Wii. The reason he shipped this to my old apartment is because Fedex does not ship to P.O Boxes...which I did not know. What gets me, is the fact that this guy took it upon himself without notifying me and shipped it to another address I did not specify. He shipped it almost 650 miles away from where I live! The address in DE was on my ebay due to the fact of a recent move, ALTHOUGH, I specifically put another address down which is shown on both the Ebay and Paypal receipt. BOTH Ebay and Paypal, will do nothing for me, I put in a claim and I waited, because I have a full time job with 50+ hours weekly I can not check all the time, so they decided to deny my claim on a week I did not check. I have all documents and info on the seller.

I kept getting what the real story. People believe me that was the story 100%. I am 37 whit female who was with a 35 year old black male. He had a traffic bench warrent, and I could not see he badge and name, i was face down on the ground. I use to trust cops and even more i use to want to be one, but no longer look after the best for the people. I was treated messed up. I understand them hand cuffing me, and even the on the ground thing, but hitting me in the mouth, thats messed up. I am a mother of 2 and i follow the laws. But if I no longer respect cops and only fear them, well do you really think that is good? If you dont know what im talking about refer to last question i wrote, Are all cops dirty. What makes it worse is other cops know that their counter parts are dirty and will still take up for them, Shame.

I have a question on the Mississippi state gun laws. My daughter was caught concealing alcohol in the Liquor and Wine store in Biloxi. Realizing the consequences, she was putting the liquor as the store clerk said "I know what you're doing! You're stealing from me." She opened her jacket to show she had put it back and that she meant no harm. She then tried to leave, not realizing that since she didn't "steal" it, that she did something illegal. She then tried to leave the store and kicked the door to try to leave. The store worker then pulled a gun on her and ****** it back ready to shoot. My daughter is sixteen years old and the tape shows she did nothing but kick the door to cause this man to pull a gun. Is it legal in the state of Mississippi to pull a gun and cock it back, ready to shoot, if they do nothing to provoke it?????? Thank you.

I was in the wrong place at the wrong time and the car that I was in was swarmed by the police. I was jerked out of the car and slammed on the ground. Now, not knowing what was going on I ask one of the cops whats going on. He in return smacked me in the lip with the hand with the gun in it. It busted, with a bruised cheek. I ask him his name and badge number and he refused to tell me. Now while all this was happening I was hand-cuffed on the ground, on my stomach. I have seen cops to other stuff to other people. I know people from other states who can tell a police "horror story". Where are the people who are surpose protect us. I'm discussed with the people I'm surpose to depend on to help me. Oh, the driver of the car had a warrent.

I got pulled over for that, and I argued since I was going 25 mph (the speed limit in front of the school), unfortunately I was pretty close to going to jail since he spat at me saying I shouldn't argue or I'll go to jail.

What the hell is wrong with that cop?
