Law Enforcement & Police - March 2007

I received an arrest warrant for an unpaid parking ticket. It says that I have to post bail and a date will be issued for me to appear in court. So I have to be processsed like a criminal for an unpaid parking ticket and this will go on my record as an arrest? Can someone please advise me on what I can do and just pay the parking ticket as a ticket instead of going through all this...

From the email responses I've been getting, it would seem so. Argueably i've made some inflamatory questions designed to get you to look at your own behavior, but I am not against you. If a judge ask you how you arrested a suspect, is he against you? No, he's determining if all was done according to law. right?
Furthermore, some laws are bad and need to be questioned, prohibition was a shining example. It only fascilitated gangs and crime; like the drug war of today. We now have the highest incarceration rate in the world, most of them drugs. Which I argue is a health issue, not a criminal one. Unless the perp is committing crimes for drugs. Sometimes the case, sometimes not. I t used to be the mentally ill were incarcerated because they were thought to be evil or possesed. In time we realized they needed compassion and treatment for their disease.
So understand my questioning is trying to cut to the heart of the truth. And if I'm wrong, i'm the first to admit it.

If police pull over a car they suspect of having drugs, they ask the occupant oif they will allow a search. If the person refuses, the cops get a warrant or a dog. So there is no consent to the search at all. It's not really any option.
Furthermore, why doesn't this violate right to privacy? Personally, if I was in that situation I might make you go get a warrant and waste your time when you find nothing just to make my point. It feels like we're turning into a police state where the cops have the rights but we don't. I believe in this thing called the Constitution our founding fathers wrote a while back; seems vaguely important. And i'm not willing to give up one of those rights to make your life easier. There's a reason it's called work.

The oldest reference I can find is for the mid-1930’s in New York City. Were the NYPD cars the first?

Okay, last night my boyfriend and I were in a local park and when we got to my car things got a little out of hand and it wasn't planned. (We didn't have sex but some items of clothing were missing). Well an officer just happened to drive by and he questioned us, wrote down my boyfriends name and ran my ID. They did not write us any tickets and did not arrest us. They asked me why we were there and said that we could not be there and they asked where we worked. They said it was fine but not to do it again.

The only problem is my boyfriend is illegal. We are both Mexican but he is illegal. I am really worried now that they will try to find him and deport him. Do y'all think this is possible and are they allowed to show up to our jobs and tell our employers about this event? Can you be deported for this action, besides the fact that he is illegal. Please no rude comments, I love him with all of my heart and this really worries me. They did not arrest him, I need FACTS not opinions.

I got a ticket for using my cell phone while driving, which is against the law in Chicago. I didn't even know that at the time. My court date is in May. What should I say to be found not guilty?

I would like to hold a sign in my hands, stating "My Opinion: STOP Racism at (company name)." And i would like to give out flyers to people passing by, telling them why I think that this company is guilty of racism.
Do I need to have a permission for that? I know that I cannot stand on the company ground, but is it ok to simply stand on the public pavement near the company building?
What happens if the police comes? Can they remove the sign/ myself? I don't mind getting arrested, but I would like to know, if they are allowed to do so, since I am not causing nuisance to any member of the public.

Oh, by the way. I am in London/UK. Might be important to get an answer related to the local laws...

I am a college student who is the chief editor of our campus' newspaper. Someone who writes for us (used to write for us), didnt like the way I said something to him and charged at me, smacking a US Constitution out of my hand and yelling and threatening me.

He is not a student, he works at the university.

He is denying what he did, even though people witnessed the ugly incident.

I didnt call the police, even after he verbally threatened me. Now we have to meet with administrators next week. I go to an all black college and am white, and he is also black. I get the feeling they are going to blame me for this.

What should I do? He is a huge guy, and me not big at all. Should I hire a laywer or something? I get the feeling they are all going to side against me, to look out for one of their own.

I was on some sort of drug due to my “high” heart rate. I do not do any illegal drugs - After explaining I became ill due to my sleeping pills mixed with wine (I won't do it again) he kept pushing me regarding illegal drugs and I said, if you think there are drugs in my house search it or give me a drug test! Well to my surprise the 4 police officers who accompanied the paramedics searched and snooped all around my place.

First, is that illegal?
Second, am I marked as someone of suspicion and will they be watching me and or harrassing me?

I don't have a criminal background whatsoever and have never been into trouble.

In many countries, especially in Europe, drunk driving is a serious crime with very harsh pentalties. In the United States, over 40,000 people die each year in traffic crashes. Alchohol is a factor in tens of thousands of those crashes, yet drunk drivers get very light sentences. My wife and I were almost killed by a hit and run drunk driver and he only got 18 months of work release.

Hand held GPS =0 as its not reliable & gives error >30miles!
* I bought one, then I had to return it back as it was showing me out of London while I was in it!
* GPS positions are accurate only when the satellite passes.
* Sat.passes at different intervals from 1/2 t0 3 1/2 hrs.
* Whithin those intervals, what u get from the Sat navigator (GPS) is approximate positions based on calculations between the lasdt two original GPSs, & that is regardless of water or air currents drifting,slowing or increasing the ship's speed.
* Especially in area near the coasts like in the Golf, the water currents change direction & speed v. rapidly.
* So theoritically they may be in Iraqi waters, But practically they were in Irani waters.
** I found it very stupid idea to prove that they were in Iraqi waters supported by a hand held GPS.

Today I took my wife to school and picked her up.. About 3 blocks from my house. She got hurt recently and could not drive today. On our way home A state trooper pulled me over in my driveway. I was given a ticket for driving on a suspended lic and ordered to appear in court. Lic was suspended because of unpaid prior ticket. I was not arrested. When I appear in court. I plan to admit my fault and am wondering what to expect. I will be appearing in a county court. Thanks.
