Law Enforcement & Police - January 2007

I've written a murder mystery with a homicide detective as the main character. At this point I have used some creative license. The note the murderer left gets examined by an ESTA machine, bringing about interesting results, close to the end of the book. I didn't want the results coming in too soon. I act like ESTA machines are not all that common - therefore it takes them a while to get access to one. However I don't really know if that is realistic or not.

Does anyone have any knowledge of the SOP of dealing with notes in a murder or kidnapping investigation? In particular how automatic the using of an ESTA machine would be?

Thanks!

Yesterday I went from Canada to the US (the US is my home) and I went through customs. The customs lady looked up my record, and claims I was arrested once. I've never been arrested in my life, and I have a clean record, and she claims I was lying, but never told me when and what I was arrested for...then when I had my bags checked the guy went and looked up my ID again...what is up with that???

marine corps boot camp. even after i told u all about the brutality and abuse of marine boot camp u all still defend it! i told u of blanket parties, drill instructors beating up recruits, which is illegal, and the time even when i was told not to look around, i did i was caught, and right when i was going to get my first bite of my meal, the drill instructor whispered in my ear, "you are done eating". with this being said, i asked u all a question, if u were a police officer in san diego, and you were looking thru the fence at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, and if you would see a drill instructor choking or kicking a recruit in the butt, i know you wouldnt have jurisdiction on a military base, but you can report it to the MP's, well anyway, i asked if you would see this behavior would you report it or would you just smile and turn away. i had about 20 answers and ALL of you said you would smile and turn away!!! i thought police officers were against illegal activities! are you?

And then then give you 25 years for stuff you didn't even have in your home, and they didn't even have a warrant.

Or do you believe that while they may be smart enough and can run fast enough ... they just aren't physically strong enough to do their job just as well as their male counterparts?

I'm intrigued to know how far the police insistence on evidence extends. If, for example, I went to the police saying I had been drink-driving, but by the time I went to the station my blood alcohol level was normal, would they prosecute me?
Or if I went to them with something I'd nicked from a shop and confessed, would they do me for theft?
Is a confession alone enough, and if not why not? Answers from police or similar welcome!

The other day i was driving a road which i had never driven in the past. I seen the mobile unit ahead and there were no other vehicles near me. The road is not in a residential area but there are lamposts on the kerbside. There was no speed limit sign for at least 1 - 2 mile from the mobile unit. I understood the road to be a 40 mph and not the 30mph it turns out to be but there were no speed limit signs nearby. the unit also says that i was doing 51mph in this zone and i can safely say that there was no way i had achieved this speed over 100 - 150yds in my peugeot 307 1.4 90bhp from a stopped start. Can anyone suggest how i will defend this acusation? Wouldnt it make more sense for them to place a few more speed limit signs nearby to advise motorists what speed they should be doing? What course of action should i take?

I have received an email from a friend that tells me that if a robber takes me to an cash machine and asks me to withdraw money, if I enter my PIN in backwards, the machine will recognise it, give me the money and alert the police. I am a bit sceptical and suspect that it may be set up in the US (if at all!). It sounds a good idea - but has anyone heard of/and/or tried it?

Being even more of a sceptic, my husband wonders how long it would take for the police to respond!

Naturally, if it is true, then we should all know about it - but if it isn't, it could be very dangerous to try it!

It was a bit difficult trying to find a category for this one!
