Law Enforcement & Police - December 2007

At first I wanted the book thrown at him, but now, I don't know, does it really serve a purpose the put him in jail for years? Now I'm thinking a long probation would be OK. In jail he is not doing anyone any good, out of prison, he can be a productive member of society. As it stands right now he has been punished a great deal, What he did was so wrong, But I don't think he should be penalized beyond the ability to recover.

Hey guys tonight i was making a left on an intersection and i took the yellow light, it was almost about to change to red but i took the yellow non the-less, there was a F****** cop that stopped me right after the turn and said i had taken the red. Anyways to top it off when he went to check my license it had expired a month and a half ago, GREAT! i had no idea! so in the end he gave me two damn tickets... The one for the red light i saw, on that brochure they give you, to be about $201.50, which is unbelivable! but i have no idea how much the one for the expired license would be, anyone knows? Thanks! And how do expired license cases usually handle in court? I'm thinking of paying a lawyer to go for me... Thanks!

will the offender reflect?
be afraid and stop his abuse?
or think that he can manipulate the justice and become worse?

So today(12/9/07) at 3 a.m I got pulled over for driving drunk. The officer did about 7 different tests including a breathalyzer and I failed them horribly. On the breathalyzer I got a .11 and everything else I did pretty bad. I seriously thought that I was going to get a DUI but the officer acted more like a "friend" saying that my life is too valuable and things like that instead of being a "cop" threatening to give me a DUI and scaring the **** out of me. I fully understand I broke the law and should've receive the penalties but I'm wondering why the cop didn't do anything when I'm putting others at risk. I don't want to call the cop stupid but I've been wondering for awhile why he still let me go. Driving drunk is a serious thing and I left with absolutely nothing. No citation, no ticket, NOTHING. I'm 19 years old now, living in Howard County, Maryland. So my question is do cops allow people off with a serious matter like this? and why?

try not to flame, I already feel bad.

My uncle died in 1989 and even though I was 3 yrs old, I remember him very well,and they day he died too . He died in a horrific car crash. My parents told me alot about it, but they dont really like talking about it. I was wondering if there is any way that I can see pictures or reports about it? I know it was 1989 but it was such a bad crash that it was all over the news for days. There has to be something about it somewhere, right?

My fiance is 17, and just had a miscarrige with our first child. I am 19. While she was pregnant she was living with me with her mothers blessing. After she miscarried her mother and step father made her move back in. Now they are filing a restraining order against me, for nothing as far as I know. I have not hit her or threatened to hit her. I in no way am going to cause harm to her. I am not the reason for the miscarrige. I have NEVER done any harm to her. But they told me I am to never contact her again. So I have in essance two questions. 1.) If she contacts me, would I be allowed to speak to her, they said i am not allowed to contact her, but she can contact me, correct? 2.) Can I fight this since they have no basis to file an order? And if so how would I go about it?

In Texas you receive a speeding ticket, appear before the judge as required, but fail to pay the fine? (Failure to pay as a result of lack of funds, but no contact was ever made with the judge afterwards to inform them.) What happens if I get pulled over in another city/county/state? Any suggestions from law enforcement personnell?

I was at a party last night in Alabama and the cops came in the room I was in and I was sitting on the bed with other people who had marijuana in their possession and a pipe. I didn't have anything in my hands or in my possession. But the cops asked who it was and no one answered. Since I was sitting on the same bed as the others, I was arrested. They said something like "guilty by association". I was charged with possession of mari. in 2nd degree.. the other that had marijuana on them got the SAME charge?! That's so unfair. Plus the cops never read any of us our rights. What can I do to get this thrown out?

i have cut all ties to my so called family. apprently my adoption at 9 days old wasnt legal. so i have quit speaking to my family.
emails and phone calls state they are planning to come for a visit. if i put up a no tresspassing sign and they come to my door
can i take legal action? nothing else has worked to keep them away, this is a last resort. they have money and think they can do what they please. no one has told them no to much of anything, they think they well are above the law. i have blocked their number but they keep using other phones.
i havent made contact in any way form or fashion, they just cant stand to be told no.
are there any other ways i can keep them away. they even tried to have my child taken away, which didnt work the police and all involved told them they have no grandparents rights in texas, so legally they cant do anything, it helps to have cps and other legal people telling you what they can and cant do.
