Law Enforcement & Police - May 2007

I have two favorite TV shows: Law & Order and CSI. Both shows are all about crime solving, but each show a different angle of the process.

CSI has the crime scene techs doing all of the dirty work. They even interview the suspects. The detective plays a minor role in the solving of the crime. Law & Order is the opposite. The only time you even see the crime scene techs is when they pop in for five seconds with a one-liner like "the perp's fingerprints matched" or something like that!

So I know that TV is greatly exhaggerated, but what I don't know is which show is closer to being accurate? Who REALLY solves the crimes?

45 days in a prison for a DUI AND driving with a suspended liscence.
This shxt pisses me off especially since my uncle get's locked up in prison for a YEAR with just a DUI.
WOWWW.
When she is asked to take off her clothes for a strip search, she'll probably say something like "I'm too good for you to see my body",
Haha,the guards would get a laugh outta that one.
Plus,alot of people get's raped in prisons, the guards are the one's who do most of the raping in woman's prisons.
So-to my question,
WHY IS IT THAT PARIS HILTON GOT A DUI AND WAS DRIVING UNDER A SUSPENDED LISCENCE AND THEN WHY IS IT THAT MY UNCLE WHO ONLY GETS A DUI IS SENTENCED TO PRISON FOR A YEAR WHILE SHE IS SENTENCE FOR 45 DAYS???

i walk out as i answer the front door and close the door. The cop does not see anything out of the ordinary as he attempts to take a peek into the house and no evidence is seen. Just the assumption that a marijuana smell was coming the the backyard of this house.

This is a weird question and I hope no one thinks I'm joking. I wrote to some death row prisoners and found that they have commited the most gruesome crimes anyone has heard of---raping old ladies and dismemberment, ect. What do you think about the death penalty? Thank you

I wish we had more of it. I love movies like "Batman Begins", "Spider-man", and "Boondock Saints". The show "Heroes" is pretty awesome. Maybe I am a little twisted but I don't think the law enforcement in the U.S. is adequate. I love to hear when homeowners blow away criminals trying to break into their home. Or when Babu pops a cap in a thief trying to rob his convenience store. More people should carry weapons with a permit to conceal. I think it would be much safer. And don't give me any statistics about gun ownership and death. I have read them and we would save more lives with more heat on the street. All the criminals have gats, it's time to return the favor.

i was driving on the busiest street downtown where there are a million lights that are like 50 ft from each other. i have taken the same way for 3 years and there is no way to get around stopping at pretty much every red light. i had a problem with my registration (the dealership never entered that when i bought my new car, i kept the plates) so i had been getting pulled over a few times because it showed that my plates did not exist.
when i stopped at the redlight on 7th, i saw the officer get behind me. he then followed me from 7th to 5th and pulled into the turning lane behind me. we waited a minute or 2 until the arrow came, then he flashed his lights for me to stop.
i figured it was registration (i have out of state plates so i couldn't just drive down the road and get it taken care of). he told me that we were going to sit there until i showed him the right registration. after sitting for 45 min, he came back and told me i ran the red light back on 7th. how do i fight this?

I was struck by a UHaul truck and experienced a near death situation. Fortunately I was not injured, but the driver fleed the scene leaving behind her drivers license. I experienced a near death situation and have filed a police report of the incidence. I am wondering what my options are in such a situation as it has never happened before. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

The first place I would like to go is Rio de Janeiro. “Brazilians say that God created the world in six days and on the seventh day he created Rio. Rio - “The Marvelous City” – embraces one Atlantic Ocean with its famous beaches like Copacabana, Ipanema, and Leblon, a paradise on Earth! That remains to be seen…it is the location, the tropical climate, The Samba and Schools and of course the world famous Carnival Ceremonies that have given Rio de Janeiro its image of a heavenly place on earth. In contrary, to what the names suggests, the city was not foundation next to a river, but is (Located at a bay).

No matter what the weapon, isn't the best policy to disarm people and prevent any firing of guns. Police and law enforcement people should get the best training in every available method to prevent violence of any kind. Is that realistic or fairytale stuff? What do you think??

(AP) Two Louisiana women are suing rapper-actor Snoop Dogg, saying they were offered drugs during Mardi Gras 2002 to flash their breasts for pictures that later appeared on the cover of a “Girls Gone Wild” video.

The lawsuit by Jaime Capdeboscq, who was 17 at the time, and Whitni Candiotto, who was 18, also names Joe Francis, owner of Mantra Films Inc., which produces the mail-order videos that feature nudity and sexual activity.

The women claim Francis broke a promise that their picture wouldn't be used in connection with a video. However, when the video — known as “Girls Gone Wild Doggy Style” — came out, they found themselves on the cover, the lawsuit alleges.

The pictures were taken during a party at a New Orleans hotel for Snoop Dogg, who hosted the video, said plaintiff attorney Ron Macaluso.

Macaluso also said his clients were offered drugs but did not accept them.

Attorneys for Francis and Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, have denied the allegations in court filings, saying any pictures taken were with voluntary consent. They also say a sign was posted in the video shooting area that said: “By entering, you consent to the use of such film and your image in a commercial film product.”

The women are asking for an unspecified amount of money in the lawsuit, originally filed in February in state court in Tangipahoa Parish where the two women lived, but later transferred to federal court in New Orleans.

Francis was arrested April 2 while shooting video during spring break at Panama City, Fla. He faces 22 charges including racketeering, procuring minors for sexual acts, filming minors engaged in sexual performances and conspiracy. Mantra Films has disputed the charges, contending crews always ask young women their age and take video only of those who say they are 18 or older.
