I am thinking of buying my husband a new rifle for his birthday and was just wondering how far ahead of time I need to buy.

Though I know there are men and women out there serving our community, and truly have our best interest at heart. I am in no way trying to start any backlash from this group of heroes. It's just come to my attention both in my own community and abroad that there have been cases thoroughly documented that I feel are genuine acts of aggression on the part of the law officers. Though through many of these counts the supporting departments reassures the public that all action taken by the officer was by the "book".
I would like to get more information on this "book" or series of books and regulations so I could know why some of the acts I've seen (first hand) and heard about took place.
Thank you.

Can cops do what they want in America? Does it usually work like this? This is far very away from the freedom america is proud about.

Shoplifting & travelling?
my friend was caught shoplifting. she has been given dates for finger printing and first court appearance. would she still be able to travel to the US by car for a short trip (from canada)? what kind of information is shown on the driver's licence at the border crossing? (she'll only have her citizenship ID and driver's licence.)

technically, she hasn't been found guilty. but will this affect her traveling to the states? or would she be refused entry?

i'm assuming that any run-in with the police would leave some sort of a record. but what will show up on the record if she hasn't gone to court yet?

thanks for your help!

I live in VA, and I was parked in my apartement complex parking lot, where I was issued a parking pass through the complex (which was on my car). I moved from the state of Maine so I have been in the process of switching over my insurance and registration. My registration expired through Maine in August, and on September 4th, I found a parking ticket on my car for having an expired registration sticker. I thought I should get a warning first, or even some sort of grace period to register your car. Can I contest my ticket?

2 yrs ago I brought one when me and my ex split up.. not because of him.. he never gave me a reason to fear him.. it is still in the box.. i got to thinking it may be as dangerous as a gun.. it is a thunder pro 120.. with a 120,000 volts... is it deadly .. i believe if it were used on someone with ill health that it could be deadly.. but if some one broke in the house would that be consider defending your self.. and if i took it outside the house is it considered a crime.. a consealed weapon of sorts..or would pepper spray be better when you leave the house.. what could a person be charge with if they had to use on of those things.. again i never took it out of the box execpt to but battiers in it.. and after 2 yrs the battiers still work

What did he really do other than try to get his memorabilia back? He didn't try to rob a bank. He claimed the police didn't want to help him ever since the murder trial. In the end, are the police really serious about charging him for serious crimes?

This seems like a case of tomfoolery by Simpson. He didn't really have any intention of hurting those guys, he just wanted to stand up for himself and teach them a lesson. I'd say this was a high misdemeanor, at best. Armed robbery and all that is like knocking over a corner store or a bank...this was basically an angry man trying to get what was stolen from him back.

Would any jury honestly not sympathize with Simpson? Would any judge see reason to punish him harshly?

I think these charges will be dropped or highly reduced soon...this is a joke. He was trying to get his stuff back, and was not in the most rational of mental states. Free OJ now...

Officers respond to a shooting call in an apartment. When they arrive they enter the apartment to look for victims, suspects, and weapons. Once they enter they find a person with a minor gun shot wound and a pistol. The victim is not a resident of the apartment and they are the only person present (other then the officers). They claim they had an argument with the resident who shot them and then fled the scene. The apartment is squalid with the exception of a really nice television. The officers read the serial number on the television without moving it. The television comes back stolen. Is this search valid under the 4th Amendment? Why?

Like Paris, Michelle too was released with a monitoring device fixed to her ankle and I thought, again like Paris, she was required to stay under house arrest (though Paris was later sent back to the cooler). But recently I came across a picture of that time, in which Michelle was seen attending (Hollywood ?) function with the bracelet prominently displayed on her ankle.

I mean a few days ago, I received a ticket for driving without a seat belt, even though I was wearing it. I put the cross strap under my arm so it will not cut into my neck. But this prevented the officer from seeing it, and trying to explain this was like talking to a post.
When I paid the ticket, the fine was like $53, and all of the fees added onto it made the total $143.
Well, you can say what you want but you cannot convince me for a second that they are really that concerned about your safety in this great state of Texas.
You can ride a motorcycle in P.E. shorts, and no helmet at all. (Which pretty much guarantees you will be maimed or killed.) Now if this was really a big safety issue, I feel that they would not have repealed, yes repealed the motorcycle helmet law a few years ago. Guess there weren't enough bucks for fines on that. But the Seat Belt law is a gold mine. Even though they have no business telling me what to do in my own car!.

If a was convicted with sec 10-125(b) how should I answer on the following question in the online job application:
(exact wording)
Have you ever been convicted of a crime or pled guilty to a violation of any federal, state, county, military, or municipal laws?
(Note: In most jurisdictions, DWI or “Driving while Intoxicated” and DUI or “Driving under the Influence” are criminal offenses.)

Do they mean only criminal offense or also civil?

If they didn't someone must have told them. You see, the new law in Portugal is that the Police may now, since yesterday newly enacted law, more freely make public the evidence they have against "arguidos" ( official suspects ). Time for a fast exit, Kate and pack the soft toy". "What about our Maddie, Gerry ?" --- "Are you taking the mickey ?!" , replies Gerry
Do you think that could be a connection between that change in the law of Portugal and the McCanns fleeing Portugal ?! The Police could not prevent them from leaving Portugal... they did not officially know that law would change. So, now, not shouting but emphasizing, WHO SPEAKS FOR MADDIE ?! No one does anymore. According to the Portuguese police, Maddie is at the bottom of the Atlantic. I suggest people search for Portuguese newspapers and have their articles translated by Yahoo Page Translator. WHO SPEAKS FOR MADDIE ?

Consider this - as a FL journalist looking for answers might do - which is what I am. The car has forensic evidence; the flat also. The forensic evidence is good (the British found it so experience tell me its good). Who had access to the car after the event, other than the accused? The Portugese police did. Who had access to the apartment after the event? The Portugese police did. Why did a similar abduction occur seven miles away a week before, and why did the police horrifically beat the woman whose child was abducted into confessing she murdered her own child? The abduction was probably carried out by an abductor known to the police, who regularly abducts for, and on behalf af of the police and other and even higher political figures. The list of missing children in Portugal has reached epic proportions. Did anyone ever tell you if something stinks its usually rotten. The Portugese police are not inefficient, on the contrary they know exactly what they are doing - and who for!
