Law Enforcement & Police - September 2007

I live way out in the sticks w/no neighbors in site. Over the last few days I've been wondering if some dreg has been stealing my mail. Then yesterday I saw it being delivered and figured I'd take the important stuff and leave the junk mail. Sure enough, it was gone this morning.

I'd like to hide in the bushes and sniper the thief with my .223, but that would get me in a heap of trouble. I don't think it's legal to shoot people for stealing mail, even if they are worthless meth-heads.

Anyone have a low-tech, legal idea on how to teach these pricks a lesson or catch them in the act that doesn't involve hiding in the bushes for hours on end?

Thanks for your time and consideration.

I participated in an intervention today with for a single mother who has a 2-year old son. She lives at home with her parents. This single mother refused help for her addiction, and her parents want to kick her out as a consequence. Yet, they do not want the mother to flee with the child, which would put the child in danger. They want to keep the child in their safe hands. Without any hard evidence, can the single mother's parents file for temporary custody of their grandson? If not, what evidence would they need in order to successfully obtain custody of their grandson who is in danger when the mother is in her addiction?

i got pulled over yesterday supposedly for following too close and going a little too fast as i pulled off to the side of the road the officer approached me from the passengers, side told me to exit and did all the insruance and drivers license check, i admitted to smoking marijuana and having a pre-rolled joint but i never admitted to having guns and yes they were concealed in a duffel bag and no ammunition.

The officer(s) did not arrest me or book me OR even give me any sort paper work but they did confiscate all my firearms, and now my question is what should i expect? and what should i do?

I was given a ticket for unisured ,unregistered vehicle and attaching wrong plates.It is checked criminal offense.

The problem is that I was not the one driving the unregistered car-my wife was.She only got a ticket for operating with expired driver's license.The police listed me as the owner but that is also incorrect-she is the owner.
Can the police officer give me the ticket anyway? What can I expect at the court date? Do I need a lawyer?
Thank you

I get the feeling they would deploy them far too often in order to make arrests easier.

The police allow them to shout vile words on the street and harass local folk.
