Law Enforcement & Police - March 2007

Lets assume I was smoking Marijuana in my car. I am pulled over, and the cop can smell the Marijuana coming from the car and or my clothes. First, what can he do about this? I would assume he can have me exit the vehicle, but what afterwards? There is no Marijuana breathalizer. Secondly, if he were to search my vehicle and find nothing, then what? Lets assume my eyes are bloodshot red as well, can he do anything besides let me go if he doesnt find anything? Thanks.

I was wondering, wouldn't it be easier to handcuff them in front? So you could see their hands? Also do handcuffs hurt?

If you do use your head, you won't be asking how to get out of something??
I seems everybody wants to get a lawyer right away. What's a lawyer going to do?
If you lose the case, who is going to do the time or pay the fine for you, the lawyer??

Wouldn't it be cool if there was a way to get paid a commission if you're efforts lead to the arrest and conviction of an online predator? Let's say I could get $500 for each pervert I help catch. If I got ten pervs a day, that would be $5,000 a day! That would be $500 x 300 = $15,000 a month! That is of course if the court caught, conviced and fined the pervert. Then the money I would get would be money that the pervert had to pay as a court fee. This totally would WORK!!!
I could stay up late each night pretending to be a child online, and WHAM! I get 500 bucks! EASY money!!!

I need a serious answer from a law enforcement officer. I feel our small town policeman is covering up something, and it is making me scared. I am afraid to report the actiities of my neighborhood anymore because our city policeman says he doesnt hear what I do. Any advice?

I was arrested about 3 months ago, but nothing has happened, my lawyer has checked frequently with the District Attorneys office. They said it hasnt even came through. So I was wondering how long the police station can wait to file a police report.

I was told by the police that if they come across it they would call. I feel like I could drive around and do the same. Is there some way I can search to see if it is being sold? I don't want to drive around aimlessly. I just moved to a new state & starting over. I can't afford this-besides feeling violated. HELP!

**Note: I do have a full description of the vehicle and I know the license plate number.
These people whom I have never met looked at me and called me a b*tch in a wal mart parking lot and then proceeded to swoop around me at a high speed and then slow down in front of me. Then when we got on the highway they would slow down in front of me to force me to pass then "race" me while shouting obscenities out the window. When I stopped trying to pass they got into the other lane to continue with the behavior. As hard as I tried not to let them, they got behind me and followed me. They followed dangerously closely and flashed their lights so I could scarcely see where I was going. I dialed 911 and had police meet me but the offenders had already pulled on to a side street. At the time I said I didn't want to press charges because I was afraid of these people knowing my name, but now I may change my mind depending on what actions I can take against them.

Has anyone ever experienced or known someone who had experienced "revenge" from the police of a city after suing that city's department?

Call me distrusting of the police, but I wouldn't doubt it that post-lawsuit, especially if any police involved were personally punished, police would try to get you back.

Say for example, you sue your neighbor city's police, and win, and two officers are suspended. I'd figure the cop would probably pull the person over, drop a baggy of marijuana or something right on your lap, and then arrest you for it.

Any opinions or stories?

Sex offenders released from jail/prison always moleste / rape again and again. Alot of times they murder the victim. But why are the relesed the FIRST time?! Once a rapist always one. That how is is in fact. I watch the news and everyday a child is kiddnapped, days later or maybe weeks they find the dead child and say there was acts of rape.

I rushed out of the house without my wallet to take wife to optometrist to have glasses repaired before they closed for the day, as she could not use them without causing her pain. made it in time but on the way home pulled over for a breath test, could not show drivers licence, officer fined me but said I could write a letter & probably get out of fine, as I have a 10year clean driving record.

i know this is the 2nd question simiular to the other but...........i dont think i typed the question correctly...
See they did the Search warrant thing by showing my friend the paper , they went in did their thing while video taping it one officer started to video tape the her boyfriend and her and her kids . "VIDEO TAPE" is my question?
did they have that right?
and to ask her questions on the video tape. Also they took her in one room and asked her all these questions and kept on bringing in SOcial services. i guess to get her scared. Her boyfriend does NOT sell Drugs Nor uses em. what they are thinking why this happend is because not too long ago the friend of her boyfriend had this done to him and they think he blammed everything on her boyfriend so he can be free. DO you think there is anything my friend can do cause she feels so aweful that she was video taped and harrassed FOR NOTHING!

Especially if it clashes with their religious beliefs? Should they be excused from such duty, or assigned to different duty that would not conflict with their beliefs? Explain your answer in detail and provide an example.

I got a speeding ticket from a police officer in a car. How do they check your speed, I was on the freeway, doing 75 on a 65. I know motorcycle cops use radar, or laser, how about car cops?
