Law Enforcement & Police - October 2007

I was pulled over for 114 km in an 80. It was early morning, and when the officer began to follow me, my speed was 95. She tailgated me (I did not realize it was a police car), and as a result, I increased my speed to avoid being tailgated. I did so because it was deer season, and if I needed to stop rapidly, she would likely have hit me. Had she pulled me over immediately, my ticket would have been significantly lower.

Get this, it was a family in a Dodge Caravan, and the other driver was in a church van who was apparently drunk, because he was arrested at the scene and smiled as he was hand cuffed and taken away.
He crossed the medium and hit this van causing the van to spin around killing the passenger and the driver was bleeding from the head. Probably won't survive.

Someone tell me as to WHY most states are not tough at all with DUI or DWI?? There has to be tougher laws, something!!
1st offense, what? A slap with a hefty fine and they go free??

Why must this happen time and time again, and some are repeat offenders!

Here is an inocent family and now their world has been torn apart.

I live in Chicago and had a Misdameanor warrant in Minnesota. This past week I traveled back there on a business trip to visit a Culinary Arts school I will be transffering to. I was pulled over and the officer asked did I know I had a warrant and I said yes and he asked did I have $300.00 on me, I did and he wrote me a ticket to appear in court November 06 2007 and he let me go. He also said if I can't appear in court call the number on the ticket. So my question is will I have to show up to court when I live out of state working and attending Culinary School because I have a very busy schedule also visiting other Culinary Schools I will be transffering to down the road. I can make the court date in late January but really don't know If the court will let me or can a representative do it in the court room and If I don't show up will another warrant be put out for my arrest again even though I just got rid of one. Thanks in advance.

So last week I got pulled over by the police for a cracked window sheild and they said my license was suspended for an unpaid ticket, luckily I didn't get arrested or my car didn't get towed. The DMV never sent me a notice about this or anything, but basically I paid off my ticket with my debit card and not with a check or credit and the bank never authorized the transaction so the county I got my ticket in were basically like wtf? But I saved my ticket I got so thats all cleared now and i'm just waiting for the dmv to take my suspension off, but I just wanted to know what is gonna happen when I go to court because I got a misdemeanor and I really had no clue my license was suspended, like what do I have to take and all that stuff, and are they gonna suspend my license again? and did the officer half to take my license away if I didn't know?

Did you know that smoking cirgerettes, and drinking alchohal is worse for you then smoking pot? and the only reason why pot became illegal is because the paper factory, and the news factory started spreading lies so that people couldn't use hemp anymore instead of paper.

It also has a lot of medical uses, cancer patients, people with aids and ADD, think that smoking pot it a better way to take care of their symptoms then poping pills, or taking other heavy medicines

so why is it illegal? thats what i want to know, if you ask me everyone should be smokin da reefa

My 6 yr. old son was w/ his father, on a freeway, he got pulled over for a cracked windshield the police officer searched his dad, then told him to face the police car, the officer then told my son to get out of the car and put his hands in his pockets and searched him, with out asking his dad, or for that matter asking me his mom who has full custody of him, is that legal? No they did not find anything on them, and despite all that, the officer impounded the car for no proof of insurance, and left my 6 year old and his dad on the side of the freeway, what can I do about this, it makes me very angry to think they can do things like this, and expect kids to respect them, any suggestions?

what do you call a psychologist/psychiatrist who works with the police, CSI and track down criminals? what are they called? and when the criminal is caught, they have an alone time interview and stuff like that... "what made you commit this crime?"

Sorry about the question's vagueness, but there wasn't enough room to type it out. So, here's my question more specifically:

Let's say that two states have different statutes regarding the issue of interagency sharing of sealed criminal records for juveniles who are adjudicated through the JJS. The first state has a statute that allows for sealed records to be shared with law enforcement and prosecutors; and the second state has a statute that forbids sealed records from being shared with law enforcement and prosecutors.

Assuming that the record in question would have been sealed by both states AND assuming that the juvenile is now an adult, can law enforcement/prosecutors in the second state use the sealed juvenile record from the first state without a court order?
