Law Enforcement & Police - December 2007

Police told paramedics several times that she was still breathing, but the paramedics didn't help her. Temperatures were around 29` F and she was left under a tarp for two hours before the medical examiner who arrived at the scene said she was still alive. The young woman died two days later from her injuries. The fire chief said, "There's nothing to apologize for. We weren't driving the vehicle that hit the car."

If you were the family of the young woman, what would you think about the fire chief's statement?

I have called the LAPD and the LA county sherriff's dept narcotics division to give them information on a drug dealer. I know his first name, his cell phone number and the street that he gives the stuff to my girlfriend. I don't know his last name. Is there a reason other than just shear workload why they don't stake out that area, or put a tail on my gf and follow her as she drives to the drug dealer? I want this guy taken off the streets.

PLEASE HELP, WHAT CAN I DO?

I have seen in my own community a person who was innocent of a crime, yet took a polygraph and failed it. He was later released as his alibi was rock solid. Yet - had he not had an alibi - then what....the police would automatically consider him a strong suspect based on those results. Otherwise, why would they ask. Isn't this an injustice to assume just because a person refuses to take a polygraph, that he be considered a suspect based on that refusal. Couldn't it be the person is smart enough to know you don't gamble with your life based on unreliability ?

my teacher, who is a retired cop told me that if you run a red light and your face is unclear or not shown, they cant give you a ticket.. is this true?

I pulled up to a red light where there was NOT a "no turn on red" sign. I made a complete stop, looked at the cars across from me (no one was going) l looked left at the cars coming from that direction (no one was there) so after stopping for a couple seconds and looking, I turned right. A police officer pulled me over and gave me a ticket for "running a red light" because he said that the people across the way from me had a green arrow.

If no one was going, how am I responsible for knowing that? Also, how can you give a person a ticket for running a red if they very clearly made a complete stop and then just turned right?

I want to fight this ticket, I just wanted to see if anyone knew what argument the cop might have against me in this.

Its so stupid to kill people. So why do people do it. I watch Court TV and all these crazy people, what are they thinking? I see people kill their wives for life insurance. You know your going to get caught. I see people who kill their children so they don't have to pay child support even though the other parent never was going to go after child support from the father.

TASER electronic stun guns are a form of torture that can kill, a UN committee has declared after several recent deaths in North America.

"The use of these weapons causes acute pain, constituting a form of torture,'' the UN's Committee against Torture said. "In certain cases, they can even cause death, as has been shown by reliable studies and recent real-life events,'' the committee of 10 experts said. Three men, all in their early 20s, were reported to have died in the United States this week, days after a Polish man died at Vancouver airport after being Tasered by Canadian police. The man, Robert Dziekanski, 40, fell to the ground and died after the police officers piled on top of him.There have been three deaths in Canada after the use of Tasers over the past five weeks. The company that makes the weapons has said that similar deaths have been shown by "medical science and forensic analysis'' to be "attributable to other factors and not the low-energy electrical discharge of the Taser".

My husband was in a car accident. No one was charged with fault. We are unclear if the person had auto insurance however, we are suspecting that he did not. It is a law in our state that you must have car insurance.

We were served with legal papers today stating he is going to sue us. Is there anyway that the lawsuit can be thrown out as he intially broke the law by being on the road in the first place?

We have an annual Halloween party and on October 26 of this year we decided to have it at a small city owned building. Towards the end of the night amongst all of the activity someone put some pizzas in the oven to warm some up. Well they put them in to hot and it started a small fire. Being stupid and drunk I took the fire extinguisher and put it out, but it was one of those old ones that keeps going. So, I sprayed it out then ran outside and sprayed it in the air and gave one last toot inside the kitchen for shits and giggles. Needless to say it made a big mess, we cleaned up and now they want 943.00$

My stepfather is abusive to my mother. Recently he threatened to kill my mother and even put a loaded shotgun to her head. In all the years that they have been together (23 years) he has been threatening to kill her over the past two.
I've tried everything in my power to help my mom, I've offered to have her stay with me, I've called the police, and I've paid for her to go to counseling, to no avail. I seriously don't know what I can possibly do to help her. I'm so afraid that my stepfather will kill her, but I'm afraid of calling the police on him again because he's extremely manipulative and will convince the police that there's no problem (he's done this in the past and they live in a small town where everyone knows everyone) and I'm afraid he'll beat my mother even worse for telling me about the abuse and "causing trouble." Or he may even come after me and my husband.
I'm at my wits end and don't think that there is anything I can do to help her...any advice would be welcomed.

Okay so I might have been over the limit but it could have also been a blow out. I had a hole in the side of my tire but I was drinking that night when I wrecked my truck. No one else was involved.

Dec 1st 2007 I was charged and two blood test were done at the hos. one about 2 hours after the accident and the other about 8 hours after the accident. I still have no results and neither the hospitial nor the police dept can seem to tell me them. The police say they need to get them from the hospitial and the hospitial says that once they're in the hands of the police they don't have access to them.

Something doesn't seem right here, any advise?

My tax dollars are stretched to the limit, and that's why I was hoping the suspect would simply disappear. However, after killing an apparently-innocent 74-year-old, this weirdo (for want of a swear word) proceeded to attack another man shovelling a driveway.

No wonder I'm afraid to go out during the day and night.

I had a shoplifting charge dismissed in 2003 and in 2006 I had it sealed. The court has sealed it, but I still see it on SOME of these instant online background checks that are not FCRA compliant. Employers who use commercial background check companies won't see it though

I really don't know what to do. I'm in the finance field and I don't want employers seeing this.

Do companies use these instant background search sites?

Does a Chicago Homocide Detective have the authority to lead a S.W.A.T. team during an arrest. Would you need special training or could you be a detective and a S.W.A.T. team member.

Also can F.B.I. Agents respond to local crimes like a patrol officer.
