Law Enforcement & Police - December 2007

police corruption is a widely used term. too wide i think. However over the last 3 years i have heard (from reputable sources) of alot of police officers breaking the laws, especially with restraint/detention/arrests. some playing vigillanties, others being hypocritical (stealing from dealers to supply the force with the pot they all seem to smoke - im sure like 90% of cops dont, but that does not mean some forces dont have a 20% stoner rate) my question is: do you do your job because of this, inspite of this, or a combination of two or more reasons? I all but rejected this career because of the effort required, the risks you all take and the lack of off duty freedom that goes with the badge. now I think I need to do this because someone has to protect us, and while you may not agree with my beliefs, in that uniform I strongly believe I could lead others through action? thanks for your answers, and good luck. when done right that is one of the most admirable careers out there..

I am very young and just getting out of a verbally abusive relationship. I don't know whether to try for sole custody of my 3 month old and child support. He has a record but it was before he was 18 so it was expunged (it was for assult). He is very verbally abusive even in front of our son and I am scared it will lead to physical. I need legal advice.

Any idea where I can get legal advice free?

I'm on parole in CA and have been repeatedly harassed by police in my neighborhood. I was pulled over for coming to an "abrupt stop" a few weeks ago. I was about 4 houses away from my house when I was stopped. They searched me and my car, found nothing, and then decided to walk down the street to do a parole search at my house.
Today I was pulled over for absolutely no reason and wasn't even offered one. They searched my car asked some questions and let me go. Is this kind of harassment really acceptable just because I'm on parole? Does anyone know where I can find some fact so I can know my rights a little better?

As you know, most state determine whether a larceny is a felony or a misdemeanor based on the value of the property and the cops wanted to make it easier for the prosecutor to get these guys serving years in prison whether than months even though it really is a petty crime that really doesn't warrant such a sentence. Isn't this typical and immoral of the kind of police tactics used by today's law enforecment(e.g. civil asset forfeiture, set ups, reverse stings, etc.)??? And people wonder why citizens don't respect government or agents of the state.

How do you feel about marijuana? Do you know the truth about it or do you just hear what the government tells you?

I looked through their website of convictions and found NO ONE who had actually molested an underage boy or girl! Perhaps someone can show me where there is someone actually convicted of a crime where they actually CONTACTED a real underage person.

All I could find were scumbags on that website leading guys along who had showed no inclination of actually meeting someone underage.

I live in WA state. I got my first ticket on Christmas day! It was 11:30ish at night and I just got off from work. Anyway, the police car was on the very right lane of I-5 and I was on the very left, he was probably going about 70mph and I never passed him, I think I was going about his speed too. He then slowed down like way below 60, but I kept my speed at 60 while passing him, then he went behind me and pulled me over. He said he can see me speeding even when I'm behind him. Can I go to court and tell the judge that the police was actually speeding too? And that I never passed him? And he pulled me over when I was already going 60mph? Or there is no point and I should just pay the ticket???

We've tried camera's, we've tried calling the police, we've tried talking to his parents. He keeps doing it. We can't catch him in the act so we don't have proof. The video at night is not good enough. What can I do to stop this?

It's been happening for a long time and he strikes randomly. He does it at night or in the morning time. No witnesses. My sister wakes up to go to work and finds that her car is keyed, tires slashed, windows smashed, or lights smashed.

Please help!

I don't want my sister to hurt, worry and feel unsafe. It is also costing her money for repairs.

If you ask a cop to show you the radar gun cause you were speeding and they refuse, in the state of california, is this against the law?
