Law Enforcement & Police - November 2007

A police ticketed me tonight for not trying to stop first in front of a yellow light. But when I saw the green light turned yellow, I wasn't too far away so I decided to speed up to cross it. If I tried to stop it would have been a really awkward and sudden stop. I wasn't speeding. If I hesitated the outcome wouldn't be good as well. I told the police it wasn't reasonable to ticket because I was trying to select the best option. I will dispute the ticket and he said he is ready to go to the court. Do you guys think if I can win? Is it reasonable to ticket me in that situation?

do? In Boston the police want to have citizens call in, and report a neighbor for possibly having a gun. That's all it would take,a phone call. Then the cops will show up at the neighbors house,with NO WARRANT, to ask to search it. You can refuse to let them search,but would you? Would you ever call on a neighbor?

What gives a cop the right to just stop you on the street and frisk you and detain you if you have done nothing wrong this happened to me walking to the train after work I was just on my way home when a cop stopped me and detained my for almost an hour while he ran my background only to find nothing I've never been arrested in my life now should this make me mad or should I just let it go?




I was just minding my own business it was late and my bus had stopped running and I had to walk to catch my train home.

How could I get a reading from a real Psychic, like the ones who work with the police on court tv? One who is verified & can find missing persons with police ect.??
Not some fake who works out of their houses.
Does anyone know if the ones from t.v. do private or phone readings? Some of the shows, show them speaking over the phone to missing persons families ect.
I dont have a missing person I just want a real reading.
SERIOUS answers only plz.

I was recently hit by a car and the guy attempted to drive off. A friend stopped the driver and told him that he knew his rego plates. The driver took off and went to Police Station. I was badly injured and required hospitalisation. The Police have decided to take no action, saying the driver sought medical attention for me at Police Station. I think he only went there because he knows he had been seen. He didn't even check on me or call ambulance at accident scene. Surely he has not offered the assistance he is required to do by law. How do I get Police to take action against him?

A mate of mine is appearing in court for the 3rd time (South Africa...!!) for an alleged drink driving charge - however, he was not asked to supply a blood or urine sample - so basically, just a breathalyser - Please correct me if I'm wrong - but I don't believe that "breath" can be entered as "evidence"....??? And, it;s the 3rd time he has to go because the first time he went on the stated date, his name was never called (even after 5 hours) and then the 2nd time was just chaos. So, Can A Breathalyzer Sample Alone Be given as Evidence???? OH, NB - this incident took place about 6 months ago......What "Shelf-Life" does human breath have I wonder.....?? Cheers all !!

I am trying to figure out what charge "Poss CS by Fraud Sch I/II F2 94" stands for. I am assuming "Poss" is either Possession or Possible, and "CS" means Controlled Substance. I would really like to quit assuming, and know for sure. Thanks!

I've never had to use the fire department before, but they've been to my house twice in the past month. The first time was because my almost 2 year old stuck his head in our stairs and I couldn't get it out. The second time was today due to an out-of-control fire in the fireplace. I thought I opened the flue, and it actually closed it and my house filled with smoke. The fire department was great, and I want to do something special to show my appreciation. I have no clue other than cooking, and hoped some of you out there had ideas. Thanks in advance!!

Over the summer I put a restraining order (injunction) on my ex boyfriend so he would quit playing the I wanna be with you one day and I dont wanna be with you the next day game. After a fight he left a threatening voicemail on my phone ( i knew he wouldnt do anything, but i was sick of the games) so I got the injunction against him. Well he sent me a message the other day on a different email account asking me to please not contact the police (which i dnt plan on contacting them) and asking me to remove the order on him so he will be able to get a job as a security guard until February when he goes to Iraq. The oder is supposed to last until June. I'm considering removing it so he can get the job, but if he can get it without me removing it I want to keep it as a piece of mind type of thing.

I live in Florida if that changes things

I recently got cited for Minors: Purchase/Possession at U of Illinois. I had someone else's ID on me, who was 21, but I did not purchase any alcohol, possess any alcohol, and they never breathalized me to prove I consumed any alcohol. I did, however, have a wristband from the bar that represents someone being 21.

I didn't know at the time, but someone I know got this same ticket once and just mailed it in, and 2 months later got a letter from the secretary of state saying his license was suspended.

Do you think I have a shot at fighting this with a lawyer in court? Any suggestions on what moves to make?

This guy who I thought was my "friend" stole adderall out of my purse. As soon as I found out, I told him I would never talk to him again. However, it makes me furious that he got away with it. He stole 30 adderall tablets out of my perscription bottle.....I want to tell the cops but he told me if I did he was just lie to them that I sold it to him. If I went to the police and told them what happened, could they end up believing this guy and charging me with selling drugs? It infuriates me because I have ADHD and I really need my adderall to help me with my schoo work.
Or should I just get over it? I mean, it was only 30 pills. He may have fun with my pills, getting high........but those 30 pills won't last more than a month! Also, I found out that he is giving the pills away to "hott girls" that he likes to score points with them. It makes me sick that my personal prescription drugs are going all over town. Is there any way to trace the pills back to me? Are there numbers on them?
