Law Enforcement & Police - September 2007

Like I just used U for "you" and R for "are" in the Q (for Question) in the question I just asked. because that question used up all 110 characters of the question-box. If it biases you to see those words I will avoid them even if it makes asking intelligent Questions harder to fit.

I got a ticket today. when the officer pulled me over he said I went on a yellow light instead of stopping (I did not pass after the light turned red) and also for talking on my phone. If anyone knows the new jersey law am I allowed to just say I was holding my cellphone (it was closed) in my hand and NOT talking or texting (I wasn't) . I was adjusting the sound settings and talking to my cousin in the passenger seat. Do you think I can argue this ticket?

my brother in law told me this story today. he told me he was on his way to work just before the exit he ran out of gas so he pulled off to the side not blocking traffic at all. he goes and gets some gas in his can as he is walking back up to the car there are 2 cops with his car doors open going through the car. as he walks up they ask him if it his car he says yes with the gas can in his hand. they search him and tell him to sit on the side. he thinks the car was locked but can they search a car even if it is unlocked for just being on the side of a road

Anyone with a legal background available to comment?

What constitutes "aggravated assault"? If someone beat someone else to a bloody mess using only their hands, but stated during the "beating" that they didn't intend to stop until they "were finished", what kind of charges could be expected against this person?

FYI: This is a domestic situation and one person was jailed. I'm suprised the other made it out alive.

Curious - someone hits me and takes off. The cops come. I don't even get an accident report. When I call the next day to get some info, they say that it won't even be assigned to an officer for a week! A lot can happen in a week - like the guy that hit me could have his car fixed and deny everything! Why are cops like this?? Why are they not interested in helping?

A list from the lowest to highest ranking would be greatly appreciated. I'm really trying to find out if a Commander is higher on the totem than a Sergeant. But a list would be fine. Thanks!

But what requirments do they ask for in the physical stuff, such as how many push ups in a certain amout of time? If you cant do it do they pass you for really trying or thats it?

The council have marked out my neighbours disabled bay to lap 3/4 over outside my property (we live in terrace houses), so in effect, I cant park out side my own house. Can the council do this without my permission?
I have called them to object and to put the bay back the way it was before the road was resurfaced. Also, this bay has been marked, at a guess about 15 + ft, a massive increase to the original bay.

I recently received a ticket for what the officer said was 67 in a 55. I know for a fact that I was not traveling that fast, but it's my word against his right? The thing is, there was a fair amount of traffic on the highway, and I was following the same line of vehicles for miles. I had my cruise set at 60 so that I would not go any faster than that, but at the location where the officer was I was going around 56 or so.
When the cop pulled me over and said I was going 67, and I said that it was impossible. I asked if he was sure it was me and not the vehicles around me and he said he clocked the car in front of me at 54. Common sense says how can I be going 13 mph faster than a car that I followed for miles? I would have rear-ended that car long before I got to the officers location! Can I successfully fight this in court, basically using my recollection of the events, as well as those of my wife(she was with me at the time)?

Ducks weren't doing anything. Two officers came out for a smoke break and peppered the ducks for the heck of it. Two women saw them do it and reported them. The women said the officers were laughing afterwards. Cruelty to animals ? You bet.

From to-day's news.

Immigrant drivers' outdated attitude to drink-driving is fuelling a rise in road crashes, a police chief has warned.

Chief Inspector Rick Dowell, the head of Dorset Police's traffic unit, said his officers were witnessing an increase in the number of foreign nationals involved in drink-driving.

He goes on to refer to Latvians as EAST Europeans.

Why is there no outrage in the press and in the country? Is it because one can abuse and lie about white immigrants.

Is this not fomenting and incouraging hatred of immigrants?

Our police are just filth. Who will protect us from their racism?

About two months ago I was driving a beat-up Buick Century around 1am in the city of Indianapolis. I had to be going around 55mph. A cop pulls me over and says I'm getting a seatbelt ticket. My question is how could he have possibly seen that I didn't have a seatbelt on? The thing that really irked me was I had just taken it off to find something in my backseat. I think I was being followed because my car looked like a "drug" car. I get pulled over at least once a month. The excuse most of the cops use is that my backtail light is busted out. They pull me over even when I have red tape covering it. Do you guys think that it was just by the cops convenience that I didn't have a seatbelt on? Because I don't see HOW he could have seen inside my car at 1am. I think he was looking for an excuse to pull me over. BTW, don't respond if you're just going to say it serves me right that I got one or that I was disobeying the law, etc. I already KNOW this.

The reason I ask this is because a certain family member of mine whom I'm ashamed to say is once again in jail on, what appears on the sherriff website, to be 6 charges; three misdemeanor and three felony, ALL drug related. The first three have a bond offered, the last three show the bond as denied.

So does this mean that even if the first three were somehow paid, the denial of the last three would keep the person locked up? I just want to make sense of all this. Because this is the fourth time said person was arrested. And I'm wondering if it being the fourth time this has happened that has played a factor in bond being denied. Anyway, I hope someone can help me make sense of all this.

When a person is on remand, do they have any rights to see their public defender? My neighbor has now been on remand for six weeks, and saw his public defender for two minutes prior to his supposed arraignment hearing last week. The arraignment hearing never went ahead, and he was given a court date at the end of October, but he has heard nothing from his defender as to what happened, or even to talk about the case itself. Calls and e-mails to her office by his family have failed to get any response.

Of course, public defenders must be busy, but surely he must have some rights to get counsel. He simply can't afford to retain an attorney of his own. he is within the Los Angeles County system
