Law Enforcement & Police - November 2007

My son thinks he's a gangsta. He's 17 and he basically thinks he doesn't have to obey law. He fought the law, and the law won.

He was caught shoplifting and was to pay a $400 fine. He didn't get a job until a month ago (even though he's known he had to pay the fine for 3 months) and says he isn't going to pay the fine. The money is due on the 20th of November, and I refuse to bail him out on this.

Assuming they issue a bench warrant for him, how long will it be before they pick him up?

How long will he spend in juve?

Will they give him an extension if he asks for one?

Will they come and arrest me instead?

Any help in knowing what to expect would be appreciated.

I am writing a story, in which a victim of an attack wants to confront his attacker in jail (for closure). Is this allowed or would this 'taint' the case for trial?

I want to make this story believeable. I am at a point where I see a couple ways of going. It depends on if this victim is able to confront or not....

Thanking you in advance.

"Is this illegal?" or "Did I commit a crime?" After reading these questions... the "crimes" or "illegal activity" is something really petty. If something seems illegal, it probably is... So my question us... Why don't people use common sense????

What I am asking here is, when you are charged with "Criminal Possession of Marijuana"(CPM) in QueensNY, does that include Drug Paraphernalia(DP) or is it a different charge altogether?

I had no weed, my friend did(less then 25g), but we were in the car together. A officer mentioned drug paraphernalia, but I didn't clearly hear him. On my Desk Appearance Ticket it says c/p/m, which should be criminal possession of marijuana. It says nothing about DP. Its ONE charge.

The "probable cause" for the officers to stop and search me was because the car windows were fogged up due to the cold weather and me and my friend talking.

I had no weed, my friend has 2 g of weed and a pipe. They unlocked my glove compartment and found my pipe. Basically, all I had was a glass pipe, with residue, but surely not enough residue for a CPM, it should be considered Unlawful PM.

Me: Pipe with residue
Friend: Pipe with residue, 2 g of weed.
Offense: CPM.

Why CPM, and not DP or UPM. Is this an error?

Body discovery and poor disposal practices enable law enforcement to be successful in weeding out some serial killers.

Shouldn't meat slicing machines be registered?

If not...why not?

Is that statement true or false?

Bob Lonsberry said it on the air this morning. He actually believes it.

Do you?

What would be your advice to individuals in a country where the police are not trusted because they are said to protect only the wealthy, are involved in political violence and corruption, abuse civilians for no good reason(they are treated inhumanely based on where are from and are hardly convicted if they kill someone without proof that this person had wrong intentions etc.
The police plant guns etc, and convict the innocence. What would be your advice to the people of this country?

Well, all I was trying to do was look out for fellow citizens. How come cops are able to give tickets to people who are trying to help others recognize that they may not be driving in a proper manner? Isn't this for the well being of the community? Anyway, I think their is a problem with the justice system.

Recently, my friend's maid get caught shoplifting in a supermarket. I was asked if I could act as a guarantor of this maid in order to bail her out. This friend of mine said she will bear the cost of S$6,000 to bail her maid out. What she needs me to do is to sign and act as a guarantor of her maid since I'm a Singaporean. Both my friend and her maid are foreigners (Indian nationalities). They are holding employment passes. Do you think it's risky to do so? I wanted to help but yet afraid of the the consequences in the near future. As they are both foreigners, they will return to their own country one day after their employment contract ended in Singapore. I just wondering whether I should help?

I've just been wondering and felt the need to ask. Do the guns in which the police carry have microchips or some sort of tracking device in them? So just incase they lose it somehow, they will be able to track it down and find it?

I knew for some reason that the person who parked too close to my car would end up scratching my car with their door. So i copied their number down. Then when they left. I noticed the scratch. Well it wasn't a long scratch but it chipped off my black paint and now it's white. I mean what can i do? The police won't give a damn i bet. Also i know they did it, but how can it ever be proven? What would you have done? I'm sick of people who do this. They have no respect. I always make sure to not damage people's cars. If i have to hop over to the other side where there is more room to enter or exit. I would and do. I take extra measures to ensure that other people's property aren't damaged. But people don't do the same.

Are cops allowed to mark tires with chalk so that they can give speeding tickets later? I would think if that person had not violated a law the cops should have no reason to touch their car. Is this the case? Also, what about cops marking headlights with soap outside of bars so other cops on the road know which cars are leaving bars?
