Law Enforcement & Police - December 2007

About a year ago I got charged of a felony for fraud and got probation for three years.I am not proud of what I did. I not a bad bad person, I just did a stupid thing a got caught. Once I complete probation and pay restitution, it will become a misdemeanor. A policeman and I went out on a date about eight years ago and recently contacted one another by email. We are both married so I don't seek anything but friendship. He's been with his department for 17 years and is now a detective. I also work for a government agency which he wasn't aware of. I just never found any reason to contact him sooner until two months ago when a friend of mine was talking about this past and she reminded me of our date. I am sure he has a background check on me. I think I am a conflict of interest criminal. I wished I could explain to him why and whay had happened, but I am sure it wouldn't matter now. Thanks for all answers and please be kind.

My credit card company noticed a lot of activity so they contacted me to verify it and that's when I discovered my credit card was missing and how we discovered the fraudulent activity. Can I report this to local police as well? Or do they not handle these kind of charges?

at work this evening, i smelled paraphanelia coming from a guests room. Under our policy at work, unless a guest is actually burning down the room we cannot enter said room. Do such laws exist outside of work laws, (hypotheticly - citizens arrest, etc) that would allow a search of the guests room?

OTISVILLE -- A history of mental illness caused a standoff with local police Friday that ended with the death of Otisville's Kevin Simmonds, 31, according to Simmonds' family.

Simmonds' father, Daniel, said his son suffered from bi-polar disorder and was severely manic depressive and "he just kind of snapped" Friday, threatening locals as well as officers from the Michigan State Police and Genesee County sheriff's deputies.

The incident started about 5 p.m. Friday on Simmonds Drive near Cemetery and Dodge roads. Once police arrived Kevin Simmonds refused to surrender and suggested he had a weapon, prompting officers to shoot him. Simmonds died at Hurley Medical Center in Flint.

They don't give him time to get out and surrender, the police shot his truck 44 times and on him 6 times that finally killed him.

He was a nice guy maybe on the wrong place at the wrong time?

my answer is what will u do when this is yr close friend and he was still alive?

...because we have them where I live and they think they can do whatever they want. They harass the people on our street and think they can arrest anyone they want.
For example: My cousin Beto was walking to my house with two of his friends yesterday and two Guardian Angels stopped them and asked what they were doing and if they lived in the neighborhood. My cousin told them it was none of their business and kept walking. I guess the man got mad cuz he grabbed Betos shirt and yanked him to the ground. His friends tried to stop them from fighting but the other Guardian Angel started fighting with them too. They ended up handcuffing my cousin and his friend. Paul, the other boy there, ran to my house and called the REAL cops. They came out and got all this information from my cousin and the GA's. What makes me mad is that the GA's were not punished. It WAS none of their business what my cousin was doing. Do you think its right for people who aren't Cops to go around arresting people?

So recently a student at my college has stalked me and sent harassing messages saying he was going to kill me if I didn't be his girlfriend and have sex with him. He did other things such as follow me to classes and ask to have sex with my mom. I told the police at my school and they are having him arrested this week on stalking charges. I KNOW that the stalker will tell the police I did illegal things and make up stories that I am a prostitute or a drug dealer or something crazy. Will the police believe his story. Since I am pressing charges against him for stalking doesn't he lose his credibility? Like if he says something like I underage drink wouldn't it just look like he is trying to get back at me for bringing charges against me.....or that he is my I won't be his gf? What do I do? The police say they can charge him anytime but I keep stalling because I am so damn scared!!! Will his defense lawyer attack me and say I am insane or made it all up?

I was coming home going a little over 70 in the middle lane and got pulled over by a cop in the right lane, he turned on his lights before i even went by him. however on the citation it said that i had passed him. also i asked the officer how fast i was going and he said he didnt recall and told me to look at the citation later. i did and he had checked off radar and estimated. how do i know he didnt just bump it up to 75 to make it $100 fine? any tips on how to win this? by the way im 17, so will i lose my license?

I was coming home the other night and I was going 75 mph, I know that was too fast, but what was unfair i think is that I was in a 55mph zone when he clocked me and turned his lights on. But when we finally got to a stop we were in a 45mph zone, and he said that i was doing 75 in a 45 mph zone, he also checked that it was daytime on the ticket, but it was really nighttime, could the ticket be void if there is a mistake. And should I fight the 55 to 45 thing. Im 16

Recently at my mall (freehold raceway mall in freehold,NJ) the security guards follow groups of teenagers around yelling at them every time they stop, they also came up to me asking me if I'm shopping or hanging around, when i tell them I'm shopping, they yell "Don't lie to me!" I'm fed up with going to the mall to spend money and having to deal with these pain in the *ss rentacops. Another line all the security guards use is "Shop Or Go Home!" Also are their any places were i can complain and get these security guards in trouble with their employer at least, I want my voice heard.

We bought a used golf cart today for 3500.00.
Test drove it yesterday, and it was fine.
The bill of sale that the seller typed up states 'as is' and told us that there was nothing wrong with it....(we wrote a check)
After driving it for a couple of hours today, the thing was smoking so bad from the tail pipe that I'm surprised that birds were not falling from the trees.
Husband tried calling the guy and wouldnt ya know it he wont answer or call us back. So.....husband has now loaded the thing up and is taking it to the guys house, (as I type). We plan to put a stop payment on the check in the morning.
Are we outta luck?
We just bought it about 5 hours ago..MAX
Opinions or suggestions? I'm anxiously waiting to here from my husband, to see what the guy says or does....
