Law Enforcement & Police - May 2007

I understand that fix-it tickets are at officer's discretion. But lets say that one gets a fix-it ticket for tinted windows in CA and takes care of it. What can happen if one re-tints the windows and gets pulled over for it again? Is there a more severe penalty? Will the officer definitely have a record of the prior fix-it ticket in his/her computer? Will someone who knows please explain the range of possible penalties in this particular situation?

Please no replies from the standard "well don't re-tint" or whatever type people. I am not interested in hearing from you nor is anyone else.

Rapper SNOOP DOGG is urging British authorities to reconsider their decision denying him a visa to enter the UK, because he can use his voice to help cut crime.

Why would anyone want to pretend to be this criminal?

The rapper - real name Calivin Broadus- is currently touring Europe with Sean Combs, and hopes officials change their mind in time for their gig at Wembley Arena in London
He said, "All I can do is ask the Home Office to reconsider this. I can reach the kids with my mic that politicians cannot with their voices. I can tell them to stop the violence and killings that have been happening in the UK."
Last year (06), Dogg accepted a police caution after being arrested on suspicion of violent disorder and affray at London's Heathrow Airport.

If you've ever listened to his lyrics, you know that cutting crime is not what Snoop Dogg is all about. So why would a poster in here want to be called by that name? Who in their right mind would want to emulate a criminal?

More so judges that are arrogant that think their court room is a country they can do whatever they please in. But I just love watching Judges and Police Officers getting arrested. It reminds them that they are not above the law. I just wish it would happen more. Anyone else agree or disagree?

I see these drug busts on TV - and they always ask if the person is a cop or not, and the cop always dances around the question...because apparently, by law a cop has to tell the person if they are a cop or not... WHY IS THIS!?

Snoop Dogg’s Xbox Demands
19 April 2007

Snoop Dogg reportedly almost pulled out of a charity concert – because organisers hadn't provided him with an Xbox games console. The rapper was to perform at Cipriani Wall Street's UNICEF event on Tuesday night, alongside the Pussycat Dolls.

Despite receiving a reported $150,000 fee to appear, Snoop demanded his 10-strong entourage were flown to New York first-class and wanted extra perks. It is claimed the controversial star then threatened to pull out because the games console wasn't in his dressing room.

An insider told the New York Post newspaper: "He insisted on having an Xbox in his dressing room. We finally found someone who lent us their kids' Xbox."

Even though organisers caved to his demands, Snoop was reportedly an hour late on stage because he and his friends were enjoying a lengthy gaming session.

Are the police to blame for Snoop Dog's ordeal?

For Immediate Release February 28, 2007

Seaside Heights, NJ – The bone chilling air temperature of 38° didn’t scare off some 2,550 brave souls who took to the icy Atlantic Ocean on February 24 for the 14th Annual Law Enforcement Polar Bear Plunge in Seaside Heights.
With waters that were recorded at 33°, the Polar Bear Plunge, presented by the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics New Jersey, was deemed a success by all accounts.

“We’re very pleased with this event and with the level of support that we received from the Seaside Heights community. For an event this size to run smoothly, it takes a team of true leaders and dedicated individuals, and we feel that we had both,” according to Mathieu Nelessen, Director of Law Enforcement Sponsorship at Special Olympics New Jersey.

Is this why he posts all the time in Y!A?

SYDNEY, Australia -- Snoop Dogg has been refused entry into Australia because of his extensive criminal record, the immigration minister said Thursday, the second time this year the rapper has been barred from entering another country.
Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr., was due to fly into Sydney this week to co-host the MTV Australia Video Music Awards.
Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews said Snoop Dogg's visa was canceled because he had failed to pass the country's strict character test, which takes criminal convictions into account.
"He doesn't seem the sort of bloke we want in this country," Andrews told Sydney's Macquarie Radio.

My friend and I tried to go to a local bar we frequent last weekend, but we were turned away at the door because her ex works there and says he has a restraining order against her. She was never notified of this, so is it true? And can we go to the bar if there isn't a restraining order? Or if we go and he claims that there is one, doesn't he have to prove it?

If your name was say...Snoop..and you were say, African American! And I was finding every article I could, to cut and Paste onto Y/A showing every African American male who committed a violent crime and then stated that because of this, my opinion was that all African Americans were criminals! Would I not be a racist! And would I not be stereotyping an entire race based on a miniscule bit of information?

I know I should not even respond to this moron but maybe, just maybe he might get a clue that most police officers are good as well and only a handfull are corrupt!

My parents are probably getting divorced...

Is it legal in the state of Kansas for two parents to put a minor up for adoption? I'm scared for my physical and mental safety. Just a little while ago, my parents were hitting each other and arguing...This has been going on for many, many years. Most of my life, in fact.

I'm 16 years old. I'm not a legal citizen, but I do have permanent residency. Can I be put up for adoption? And if I'm put up for adoption, can anyone adopt me? Am I allowed to CHOOSE who I end up with?

Please answer...

In the event of a Child Protective Services intervention, is a (1) Social worker, (2) Police officer, or (3) CPS investigator responsible for actually removing the child? Also, what is the difference between a social worker, and a CPS investigator? Or are they the same?

I was stopped for speeding 17 miles over. The ticket says radar gun was used and it was raining. I was placed in the police car b/c of a "warrant". I did not see a radar gun and it was not raining. We have this on videotape. (The not raining part.) This case is still going to court. How can I prove there was no radar? Or how can the police prove that the radar was working and tested over four years ago.

I'd like to know so that when I meet guys I can check their background before I get involved with them.

Nowadays you dont know who you are dealing with. Yrs ago I dealt with a guy who I thought had a clean record & no trouble with the law. He not only turned out to be the biggest pothead on the planet, he also turned out to be someone who had a criminal record for petty larceny AND child abuse. A 5-yr old child was beaten horribly from his torso down & the authorities told me the pictures of the child's abused body were so bad that they advised me against looking at the pictures. How I found all of this out is because the "authorities" came to MY HOUSE looking for him out of the blue one day & told me he had OUTSTANDING WARRANTS.

I also know of a woman who was married to a guy for almost 14 yrs, only to find out her husband was wanted in some states for murder.

Can someone tell me if there are legal ways or legitimate sites to find out a person's criminal background??

I lived in Nevada when I was 18 and got caught for shoplifting. I did not take care of it because I was moving to California the next day and I was 18 with the lack of responsibility that entails. That was about 17 years ago, and I've been in California ever since. What is the statute of limitations for shoplifting? It was minor, less than $10.

My step son ran away and he was on an ankle monitor and on probation. His g/f knows where he is hiding but refuses to give him away. Can law enforcement make her talk or do we just have to let it go? We are located in Texas. I dont know if that makes a difference since laws are different in all states.

It seems when people can't think of a better insult for the men and women who lay their life on the line every day the bash them for hanging out at donut shops. That is not true anymore. I see more cops at Starbucks than donut shops, and they are never holding a pastry. They are just enjoying a well deserved cup of coffee. Let's show a little love for the people you will need someday and your life may depend on them.

I know it means he could be arrested but this was in another county will they come out of the county to get you or is it if they find you in their county. Stupid charge and we were in the hospital for 4 days before the court date and 1 day after but they still will not except this excuss with documintation and all but my main concern is if a bench warrant is for one county or all.
