Law Enforcement & Police - August 2007

I also heard another / alternate version where it is not so much so the *number* of tickets they have to hand out, but the amount of money they have to bring in from ticketing - such as $150 or so... Is this true at all or simply a rumor?

I mean, it would explain those instances where you got a ticket for like $80 and you were only doing like 6 miles over the speed limit? Did that cop just NEED to bust someone - anyone who just happen to break the law (no matter how petty) just to meet his quota?

I ordered Hannah Montana tickets the day they came out which was about 2 weeks ago. I got a email maybe a week later saying my tickets were printed and they would be sent shortly. They were to be sent Standard Mail. I still don't have the tickets. Is that okay, or should I call and ask about the tickets?

I live in an extremely rural area, and I followed a policeman with someone in the car today. I was wondering, if they arrest them falsely, we have no public transportation, and they have no money and no one to call, do the police have to take them home?

As for me....celebrities who committ suicide are the most selfish on earth. I have lost alot of respect for Owen. Plus, the fact he did cocaine and heroin brings down the respect even more. Who cares about him. I want him to live...but I am not going to join his stupid pity party!

When I was 15 I was going out with a 19 year old. We had sex and now I have to go to court for it. I'm scared for him because he is in the national guards and this would ruin his life. Will he go to jail? and if so for how long? Apparently he has 9 felony charges against him for this. I don't even know why, because we didn't even have sex that many times. So I don't know. And I told them I didn't want to press charges but they said that doesn't matter.

Should you help the cop out or stay back and wait for them to yell that they need your help?

I have only had 1986 and older vehicles lol, this week we got a 1998 van. It of course has air bags and I hate to say this but I'm a little afraid of it. I heard that air bags could kill someone under 5'3, they said (think it was dateline or something) that it's like being hit by Mike Tyson (ouch). I'm only 5'0 and have to sit fairly close to the wheel.

Are they safe for someone my height?

I know a guy who has several mugshots posted online from different dates, he claims that he was only arrested once and that the other two pictures were updates. Does anyone know if they 'update' mugshots in New Jersey? He is a convicted sex offender and I want this guy away from my family. I really want to prove that he is lying, I just don't know how to go about doing it. So, any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

When you mail your ticket in and pay the fine, your ticket is reduced a few points, so that it reads something else on your record. What does running stop sign "change" to in Colorado?

This guy on utube email me asking 4 my myspace page and I said I don't give it out until I get to know the person I only have people I know on it like my friends from school. So I said no cuz ur utube page says ur 19 am 16 and I don't want to get u in trouble. So he emails me back says he is 17. I get a weird felling from this person he will not leave me alone. My mom said no myspace page or utube but I did it anyway so I can't tell her cuz I don't want to be in trouble what can I do to make him leave me alone.

I was told Mass. can only ask if you have been convicted of a misdemeanor in the past 5 yrs. I need to know if this is true of every employer as a law.

Most of the time I was going like 3 over the speed limit.
But the last 2 times, I was pulled over for no reason. The cop pulled me over to look at my Buick Enclave. The cop handed me a ticket and it read, "Nice Buick"! With a happy face! Prior to that the SAME cop did the same thing to me except I was driving in my wife's Saturn Aura. It got me thinking if he was stalking me or something? Well at least I wasn't doing anything wrong. Any of you had an experience like that? Ever?

Now the relatives have to pay taxes to feed that killer and give him all the comforts of home. When are we going to insist that killers get quick death and robbers get horrible punshment that will make other robbers think twice before commiting acts against honest people???

I know that it is indeed safer for a child to ride in the back seat, but what is the legal age? I have a small Nissan car and if one of my kids has a friend go with us, my 5 year old has to sit in the front in her booster seat. They can't all sit in the back, there's no room for 2 boosters seats and a carseat.

I'm aware that one of the dangers is the airbag deploying and hurting her, so I move the front seat all the way back.

Am I breaking the law here? I'm in Texas if it matters.

Hi everybody!
Yesterday I got a parking ticket. On the ticket the officer did NOT fill out my VIN number. Also, my liscense plate starts off 5K.. but it looks like they wrote 5T.. instead. Also he put the color of my car as "gray" when it's really "blue." And for the "model" of my car he wrote "TRK" but it really is a "RX" Is this enough for me to get out of the ticket?

I received a driving citation for making an illegal turn last year and the officer not only gave me a citation but told me to place my thumb over an electronic device, as I assume to place my fingerprints in a database. Could I have objected and was he required to ask for my consent? I didn't refute at the time but I don't want my fingerprints in a database unless I have committed a crime.

Thanks

I imagine that this varies state to state, but who must yield when traffic is trying to merge onto the highway in NJ? I have heard people tell me either way, and a search on the internet did not yield any results. In some instances, cars have very little room to merge and must immediately get onto the highway or come to a full stop blocking all other traffic trying to merge and traffic trying to exit. In this case it would make sense to me that the merging traffic have right of way.
However in other cases cars have plenty of room and there is no crossing traffic trying to exit, so in that case it would seem to me that the traffic already on the highway have right of way.

Is there a law in NJ about yielding to merging traffic ?
