Law Enforcement & Police - December 2007

I would like to find a website (I tried and no luck) that tell about the new laws going in effect 1-1-08. For California. I just heard that cars will no longer be able to park on the street with For Sale Signs and would like to read this new law. Our street has become a used car lot and the neighborhood is pretty sick of it. Thanks alot for your help.

I've had this ability to spot cars, trucks, vans, etc. from a distance AND even at night. I've always wondered if this was a skill - worthless or not. Perhaps this is a skill that could be applied to some kind of forensic science? Any input would be great.

I received a print-out page of a traffic ticket in NY on Route 684 for driving over a divider without any signage. It is not off an original copy and all of my information was typewritten. Furthermore, the ticket was NOT SIGNED, does not contain any court address, and does not include a phone number or source of contact. Essentially, I have to perform due dilligence in handling the matter. Is this ticket legitimate or did the officer just give me some kind of warning with a print-out copy of a ticket?

I was reasonable when the officer asked me if I knew why they pulled me over. I was polite back to them and he told me to wait a sec while he checked my details. He went in the car and came back. Then handed me my licence telling me I would hear from the courts or who ever within a few days.

Aren't they suppose to give me a ticket there and then? or the points also?

I wasn't even driving recklessly. I used my indicators and pulled safely from lane to lane in order to get infront of the person in the fast lane who had slowed down for some reason.

This person was them (unmarked police).

Is it possible to appeal? If I knew that what I had done was seen as reckless driving then I would not have done it.

I'm a business owner, I work by myself. I thought that it would be nice for a police officer to stop in from time to time for coffee or use the bathroom, but I was told in order for them to do that that I would have to hire them. Being that people are so cruel, I thought if a officer came in from time to time, that bad people would think twice before they would do their wrong.Since the tax payers are already paying their salaries.

The U.S. leads the civilized world in the number of prison inmates. One in every 136 Americans is in jail or prison. We have a higher prison population than all of the European countries combined, including Russia. Nearly 8 million Americans are parolees, and future numbers are expected to rise.

Until a recent Supreme Court decision, judges were hampered by mandatory sentences, with no consideration of circumstances. A majority of prisoners are incarcerated because of non-violent offenses, most of them drug offenses.

Many prisons have been privatized and are paid by the governments for their expenses. In turn, prisoners are charged fees for their prison stays. Add this to fines, lawyer's fees, etc., and many parolees are deeply in debt, with little hope of relief.
Should jail terms for minor drug offenses be shortened? Should some drugs be legalized? Should Rehab be considered for nonviolent drug offenses, rather than long prison terms?

It was in a desolate area that I rarely see anyone. I keep them on a lease because I see coyotes often. This morning there was a woman with a small yapper of a dog - NOT on a lease - which came running up to my dogs. The male is NOT friendly and kept trying to go after the dog. The woman was a LONG way away and just kept calling for her dog to return, and of course it just kept pestering my dog. I was able to open my car and get my dogs in - but with MUCH effort and fear that my dog would kill her dog. My question is: what would have happened to me if my dog did get a hold of hers and wounded or killed it? I'm angry that she put me in this position by not having her dog under control, but it scares me to think that she might be able to sue me or....

scan, and follow up visits. I'd like to at least be reimbursed for medical. The school police officer and vice principal want me to press charges against the girl who had it out with my daughter. I'm afraid of retalliation and just making things worse for her. Also, even good parents have kids that do bad things,the parents will get the blunt of their daughters behavior.

Also what if he never showed up for court (including the first time) after a petition has been filed against him for child support? If the mother has personally located the father can she call the police and get him arrested, or do the police have to wait until he does something wrong such as a traffic violation? Any experiences would be appreciated.

I was eating at this restaurant last night with a small parking lot with tight spaces, with dead ends on every row of spaces, so if there was no spaces. I did a three point turn, and went around the block and parked on the other side of the restaurant where there was a couple spots. 2 hours later i came out of the restaurant and there was a note on the windshield that said i hit their 300c and that they would be in contact, but they left nither their name, phone number, or plate number. How am i supposed to contact them to resolve this if i don't have their info. If i knew i hit them i would of left my name and insurance, since i am out of state and was driving my cousins suv. There is no visible damage to the suv as i could see, but the suv is pretty rusted out, and i couldn't find the 300c to inspect that. There was a witness, should i go back to the restaurant and ask whose car this was. I have my own insurance, i just don't want my cousin getting in trouble for this.
