Law Enforcement & Police - November 2007

7 years ago, I was arrested in Corsicana Texas . I was arrested for drugs I had a script for from Mexico, but I didn't kow it was illegal in the states. They told me it was legeal in Mexico when I saw the Dr. I got the scripts filled and they let me past the first 2 check points. They searched my belongings and waved me on. I was pulled over in Corsicana just south of Dallas for speeding. I was doinf 10 miles over the speed lmit. The drugs I had were Allegra, antibotisc, and sommas. The drugs are cheap in Mexico and I got enough for some of the people AI know that can't go see a dr, let alone pay for the meds. The cop insisited he was going to search my car. O.K. I had a 3/4 pound of pot for my use. Sure I knew it was against the law, but I also thought they needed an excuse to go thru your car. I use the pot for different things, but only in my house. It cost ne the loss of my husband, 7 thousand dollars, five yrs proabation. Now they want more. Do I have to pay forever?

anyone but he did commit a serious offense that landed him in federal prison for 20years. He called the house today and I told him I was having a great time (at his parents for thanksgiving) and asked him how things were with him. Seems like a stupid question, huh? I think to myself, "Amber, he's in prison how do you think he's doing?" duh. But I want to keep in touch and let him know I love him. I want to be able to say and ask things that are appropriate and show I care without every question having to be answered with it sucks being here, even though he doesn't do that. I'm feeling awkward and I just need some guidence. I can't ask him, "how's your thanksgiving?" Cause we all know it's really crappy. I hope I'm making a tad bit of sense. He really is a good kid but he just has some issues he needs to deal wtih and it's important that I keep in contact with him. Pleases and thank-you's.

Last week I was given a ticket for going 45mph in a school zone ( near a public high school) I understand the trafic laws but in my defense, even though it was 20 min before school, there were no students in sight (except for one J walker). In addition, the street that I got a ticket on was a main street.

The signs say " 25mph when children are present"

Do you think that if I made a video of the street during the same day and time of my ticket to show that there were no students around, and I was going at the flow of regular trafic, that I could have my ticket removed.

This is my first ticket...and to make matters worse, I was going to work at the schooll where I got a ticket. please give me some advise.... thanks

Yet another taser-happy cop abusing some unfortunate person:

It seems there's another one in the news almost every day. And thats just the incidents that end up on the net.

How can we protect ourselves from these violent abusive cops?

I watched this documentary on them on National Geographic. Very interesting. I'm also quite surprised that racism is not their major interest and they have allowed jewish and native americans in their organization. They also have connections with Mexican jail gangs as well as Asian ones.

Have any of you who worked in prisons or law enforcement met with any of these people? Are they really as violent as they appear?

I am not asking for tactics in passing--only the truth can help me with that. I just want to know what I should wear for a polygraph exam, as part of a background check to work with law enforcement. I just have one suit, and I have been wearing it to everything; I'd like to not wear it if I don't have to since it's not the most comfortable thing to wear.
Thanks! & Happy Thanksgiving!

Shouldn't they be exempt from this and other laws?
In my state, if someone murders a child or a grandmother, they get life in prison. If you murder a cop, you get the death penalty.

Last night, my girlfriend (I'm gay) was charged with Menacing, Obstruction of Telephone Service, Assault 3rd Degree, Possession of Illegal Weapon, and Criminal Mischeif. She is not eligible for bail. This was domestic violence. I could understand why they wouldn't want us to have contact if she was out on jail, but why can't I visit her in jail or talk to her on the phone? These are supervised places where she can't hurt me.
She's never done anything like this and we live together. I love her, I don't know if I'd go back to her though, but I just need to talk to her about what happened. I need to ask her why she did what she did. Is there anything I can do?

We all know that guns kill people, that government is our protector, and that there is no reason to desire to own a firearm in our modern world.

Why wait until the next president is elected, to do what we all know is best?

Those who are law abiding will surrender their weapons.

The others are lawbreakers, and should be eliminated.

Isn't it time we all became peaceful and trusting?

Why is the Old-West mentality tolerated? The police should plan sweeps and rid our nation of guns, once and for all.

Our local police departments have all the power and resources to do any "defending" that may ever become necessary. It's not like it was in the 1770's when the Bill of Rights was written.

Isn't it time we threw the "beliefs" of the older generation aside, and entered a new world of love and harmony? One free of guns and violence?

serious replies appreciated

A cop stopped a family friend because he said he was speeding, so he asked for his license and stuff, the cop without a warrant, searched his car, and found drugs. The drugs had not been used, he was just going across state to sell them. Can a cop search a car without a warrant?..I imagine the cop suspected something. He will now be serving 8 years in jail. But isn't there something that can be done against the cop if there is a flaw, to reduce his sentence or something?...He is from Italy, and he does not have papers, so he will be deported.

ok, so i was driving on the freeway, and this cop on a motorcycle was swerving all over... i guess to slow down traffic, i dont have a clue why he did it... i was in a rush to get to my work place... he kept going for about 7 to 8 minutes.... he finally got off the freeway, i gunned my car, and got it up to 95 miles an hour, next thing i see is the same cop on my rear view mirror with his lights on, he asked for my license and registration, he went back to the motorcycle and came back with a ticket... and he wrote over 100 miles... speed 110...
i was like whatever... a ticket is a ticket and i deserve it.... but i found out that if you go over 100 mph is a 2 point offense and you get your license suspended..... my question is, what can i do to prove that i was going below 100 mph, and not get my license suspended.... i need my license to get to work and to college....

Last night I got pulled over for a dui in ohio. No accedent or injuries. I was drink.

What type of punishment should I expect ? I got a dui in 1983, 1994, 1996 and last night 11-21-07.

I realize I need a lawyer. I no a good one but even he can come up with a miricle.

I relize the judge and prosicutor will look back and hammer me. I have a good job and would hate to lose it. I also no it going to be expensive I'm willing to pay to keep my job.

My boss knows about it. (I was driving one of his vehicals) He will stick with me somewhat. I travel for a living through the midwest He generousity is not infinate. He needs salesmen who can drive.

so what should I brace myself for 10, 30 or more days in jail ? What is the best I can expect to happen.

Thanks

So heres the scenario. Im out with my friends in manhattan and im caught brown bagging a beer. The thing is, im not stupid. I saw the police officers so i covered up my beer and i wasnt drinking or showed any signs of being drunk. I was actually pretty sober (it was only 1/4 of a beer). The cop stops me and asks what's in my bag. Due to some video's on youtube i asked the cop if he needed a warrant to check my bag, He then took my bag and said no i dont and found the beer. Then his partner reached into my jacket and pulled a water bottle out 1/4 stuffed with a screwdriver mix. ( I did not hand him over the bottle, he just took it). He then says that since im such a smart *** about the warrant question he gives me 2 summons. So now im wondering what do i do now.

1) Am i right? do you need a warrant to check someones bag? There was no visible evidence

2) There is no fine amount on my tickets, What does this mean?

I'm attempting to send a letter to an attorney whom I have never met. He was involved in a now-settled case involving a close family friend and I'd just like to send him a note (not hate mail or anything).

How can I go about locating his mailing address? I'm assuming that I'd just need to send it to his office, I know he works for the government and lives/works in Chicago, but is there some sort of a business directory I can consult to find the exact address?

My brother got pulled over the other day for acidently running a red light. According to him, the cop didnt not ask him for liscense or registlation, but only his name. Is there any way that he can get around the ticket because of the cop not asking? Maybe fourth amendment?
