Law Enforcement & Police - July 2007

Hey, I would like to know how you go about the political process of trying to get a law changed. I would like to try and get the legal drinking age lowered to 18. I feel it is odd that we can go die for our country and vote for the next world leader, yet we can not have a glass of alcohol. Also, all the other countries in the world has a 18 yr old drinking age and they have a lower amount of drunk driving crashes. Not to mention, most of the crashes are of people of legal age, so this will NOT effect the drunk driving rate. So, please do not say it will increase drunk driving because it will not. Not to mention, anyone under the age of 21 can get alcohol easily. I would like to try and make a change instead of just sitting around and complaining about the age limit. Try and make a difference. Any help would be great. Thanks.

I'm writing an essay on the conflict between a cop's duty and their personal beliefs. If you are/have been a cop/correctional officer please answer any or all of the following questions.

1. What situations may 'cause this conflict? (protecting KKK rallies, inmates)

2. What runs through your mind in these situations?

3. Do you have a choice to participate or not? Do you think you should have a choice? If you did have the choice, would you opt out of it or does your belief in your duty come before your other beliefs?

5. What is the atmosphere around the station like after such an event?

Also, if anyone knows any website where I can find more information on these topics I'd greatly appreciate it.

If you have something negative to say about cops, I don't wanna hear it. You'd be wasting your time and you need to evalute the role cops play in your safety. You hate that they exist because they're doing their job yet you complain when they can't come to your rescue.

I forgot my purse one night on my way home from work. I came to a check point and told the officer what happened. He gave me a warning ticket and then said to me in a very stern voice, "I'm going to ask you something and you can not lie to me. If you lie to me I'll know and you will get in a lot of trouble. When was the last time you smoked pot?"

I heard that the driver of the stolen car can be held responsible for the 2 helicopters crashing. How? I think it is very sad that the helicopters crashed, but I don't see how it's the drivers fault...it's not his fault that the two pilots got too close.

I have an associates in criminal justice, but no one will let me do anything fun...well alright legally they can't say no based on that, but I personally think i would be at too much risk, and I don't want to do basic security guard work, I'm more anylitical according to the tests i have taken. I was thinking invetigator, but In new york state there is too much involved in gettting a P.I license. I want to do somthing in criminal justice, hell my first pick was the military, but they didn't let me in, I am really in a rut, I am going for my bacholers in criminal justice, i don't want an office job, I want to get out and travel and stuff like that while in the criminal justice field, any suggestions? I want to get into criminal justice, I am sick of these little walmart jobs, and i want to make a difference.

I got pulled over Monday 7/09/07 because I failed to stop at a stop sign. I know I didn't make a complete stop so I'm willing to pay the charges. This is my first ticket ever and I think the officer said something would be coming in the mail for me in 8-10 business days? I don't know what though.. the real ticket? More info on this citation? In any case.. it's the 27th of this month and I still haven't gotten anything.

Am I supposed to appear in court on the date it says on the citation no matter or what or should I still be expecting something in the mail that lists the charges?

I signed the little section that says: "Without admitting guilt I promise to appear at the time & place indicated below."

If I admit I'm guilty and don't plan on fighting the ticket.. do I still have to appear in court? Or can I just pay through the mail or something?

This is all so new to me so any helpful information would be much appreciated. Especially from those who have gotten this citation before.

and I lent them to him. Next thing I know he took off with them on his bike, Most likely to sell them to pay for some drugs. On the whole this pattern has gone on in the past. My brother is essentially an asshole. He abuses our parents and will screw over anyone he can and is un-remorseful about it. I know that the value of what he stole is relatively low but how can I go about reporting this as a theft to my local police department? What steps should I take? I need to do this to avoid this incident escalating to a potentiality dangerous domestic violence situation. I'm tired of him screwing over anyone that he can. It needs to stop. I'm trying to keep my cool right now. Can anyone out there give me advice on what I can do?

I have a speeding ticket and have the following options from online.

Appearance date extension - the extension date will be 9/25/2007

Trail by Declaration Payment - The amount due is $$$. The extension will be 8/27/2007

Traffic school payment - The amount due is $$$. The traffic school due date is 10/01/2007

ITs confusing and i dont understand it. If I use the traffic school option does that mean i dont have to pay until 10/01/2007 or I ave to get traffic school done by then?

During recent floods in residential areas in the UK, bowsers (tanks of clean water) have been placed on street corners so residents could drink, wash etc. It has been reported that some person/people may have contaminated at least one water tank with noxious substances.

Can anyone explain this behaviour? What should happen to people who deliberately do such things?
