Law Enforcement & Police - September 2007

Today, on the bus, I gave my friends some juice boxes, there trouble makers, so before I knew it, they were out the window hitting cars windshields and exploding on them. So, I definitly am sure that if it hit a car and the car crashed and the person was seriously injured/killed that they would get arrested, but would I for supplying the juiceboxes?

I'm very confused about my right to refuse a search of my car by a cop. (this is hypothetical) Okay, say I got pulled over and I play it cool even if i had some sort of illegal substance in my car, and I refuse a search. Then doesn't the cop normally call for a search warrant anyways? Then isn't that really not a right to refuse search?

Same with being breathalyzed. You have the right to say no to one, but can't you get arrested for being suspicious then the charges laid even harder, despite innocense or not.

To me, that doesn't sound very fair or logical. Any help? Maybe I have some of this misunderstood, but please don't preach to me about how I shouldn't do drugs or drink and drive...THIS IS HYPOTHETICAL and I'm only asking because I'm studying government in school and was afraid to ask my teacher.

Hi everyone

I have just reported a drug dealer to the police.

The operator on the phone asked my name and address, I advised her. Will she inform the person that I reported of these details.

She also asked for his number plate of his car, but nothing else about the car, will the police be able to bring up who the car is registered to and the model ec just by the number plate?

What will the police do with the information that there is a drug dealer living near me?

i have and always have had a clean record and never got into trouble with the police. i am on gateway 2 work for the jobcenter and they know that i have never been in trouble with the police - EVER!

-but today we were split into 2 teams and had to list what we had in commen the rest of my team had been in trouble with the law exept me so we decided that i would lie about that fact saying that i had been given a warning for being drunk and disorderly ( i have the odd drink but have never been drunk and deffinately not disorderly!) when i have never even been in trouble with the cops

- everything on the course is confidential so the job center wont know but should i still confess to the lie i told or just leave it and get found out?

For example Iowa law states ""a person shall not be intoxicated or simulate intoxication in a public place." Intoxicaton being " the state of being affected by one or more psychoactive drugs." Which is what is happening even if you consume a single beer, it will affect you given the makeup of alchohol even if that affect can only be measured in scietific analysis. If so, why does the state allow the restaurant to serve it at all? If a cop wanted would the state allow them to arbitraily pick a restaurant... arrest every person who consumes alcohol and take them down to the local jail and get strip searched (which is commonplace in most bookings)....All be it impractical, is it techincally legal...must people merely rely on the "good nature" of cops and lack of availibity of resources and manpower to avoid such treatement when having a budweiser at the local Applebees???

I was in a car accident just over a year ago. I was unable to go back to work as a massage therapist, & thus hired a lawyer. They really have not helped me. I try and ask questions, and the answers are short. They expect me to be at beck and call for appointments to determine my injuries, without explaining anything to me. I haven't even met the lawyer, his insurance adjuster met with me, and now she wont reply to my questions, or emails. She now has her assistant email me? I am not getting the help I need for my case. The accident was not my fault, but the fault of the other driver, making an illegal left hand turn. How can I go about firing my lawyer, without having to pay, as my case isn't finished yet?

I have two friends, for the sake of argument, I will call them A and B. A is a US Citizen and B is here illegally. B has been here since he was a child, he tried to get his papers but was unable and was ordered to leave the country. Needless to say, he is still here.

Recently I have discovered that A helped B get a US passport under his name. All the information on the passport is A's but has B's picture on it. My question is twofold:

1. Personally I have no problem with B being in the US, even illegally. Now they have commited a crime and I am aware of it, what should I do?

2. How were they able to do it? A is caucasion and B is Hispanic; they look nothing alike. Does the passport agency not check anything before they issue them? I would have thought that somehow they verify the picture, do they not do that?

One of the flats in our building keeps leaving their rubbish in the street rather than the wheelie bins. We have received a letter from the enviromental health saying that we could be fined if it happens again. Would they have to prove who the culprit is, or could they fine the whole building. The building is freehold and is part of a Resident's Association.

If I didnt have a driving licence or passport, I didnt have a home or pay bills, and I dont have any documents of any kind, what could the police or courts do if I was arrested for beating someone up? I know you dont need a home because they say 'no fixed abode' but what happens if you havent and wont provide a name?

I was just watching MSNBC, where the grandmother of a toddler who died in a hot car said to give her daughter a break...tragic accidents happen, and it's not the community's role to call for the parent's head on a platter.

This is negligence resulting in death. What IS the proper punishment?

P.S. The parent had done this twice before.

My house was broken into in March, and a majority of my recentely deceased mothers jewelry was stolen. The Det working the case said that once the 3 men were sentences we would get it back. Well they've all been sentenced for at least a week and now the Det wont even return my calls. The jewelry really means alot to me seeings how itwas my mothers. How long does this process usually take? Am I being over zellous?

I got a ticket 5 years ago. Prior to that I had none. Been driving for 20 years. The judge dismiss the whole thing so that I didn't have to pay either court fees or speeding ticket. I just recently got another speeding ticket. Is that ticket from 5 years ago still in the system even though it was dismissed? Could I do a PJ since I never had one?

Any guess on the salary range of police detectives? I imagine it's not much since there's such high demand for cops. I'm going back to school and will finish up my psychology major and want to go on to a master program in psych. Looking at each career field application.

Whatever your political feelings are, please take a moment to remember those who died on this day.

This video, set to Darryl Worley's song is very powerful:

Please save your hate comments and war rhetoric for another day.
Please spend a moment today in silent prayer for those who died and the families and friends they left behind.

Over the weekend two police officers in Odessa, Texas, were shot and killed while responding to a domestic disturbance. They are just two of the latest officers to die in the line of duty.

On this anniversary of 9/11 we remember the hundreds of firefighters who responded to the fires in the World Trade Center, many of whom were killed.

Yet each year many more firefighters risk their lives in less obvious emergencies, and some die in the line of duty.

Do we thank them as much as we should? Do we respect the risks they take? Could we do more?

This...really really really annoying lady, mother of my ex, has spread BS about me around a site, GaiaOnline.com.
I told her to stop, even quoting law to her.

not 24 hours later, she posted more BS, and EVEN USED MY REAL NAME.

This is the final straw. I have allready reported her to the site, but the police are hearing this one.
How do I report this? I have screenshot records...

My exboyfriend drove us to his house after we got off work on my Bday. We had both been drinking and got in a fight once we got there. He took my phone and wouldn't let me inside He called the police I ended up going to jail for a PI cause I had no where to go and wasn't going to drive. He also called my work and I may not have a job anymore. He bailed me out with my car payment money. If I'd had a choice I would have sat it out cause I don't have the money.
