if you got caught in a parking lot "parking" and you didnt sign a paper or anything does that show up on a record anywhere?

Asked by sydney about 12 years ago

Your information and the details of the contact are probably stored in the local department's database. If they are networked with other agencies, they all departments in that network would have access to the information as well.

If you were not charged with a crime, then the information would not be in a national criminal database.

When cops do prostitution stings, are the arrests always made on the spot? How likely are police to make arrests if the act isn't witnessed in a sting type operation? Been watching a lot of dateline predator stories and the topic never comes up.

Asked by notacop almost 12 years ago

Police officers are not required to arrest someone at the time of the crime. People can be arrested after the crime has been committed.

Asked by derika about 12 years ago

If you are not an adult, you have to obey your parents. If you leave without permission, you can be detained, returned to your parents or taken to a juvenile detention facility (jail).

Would getting a degree in forensic science be useful for policing? I hear that everything you need to know will be taught during the academy? THX for your time.

Asked by Jimmy about 12 years ago

A forensic science degree may be useful for certain specialized duties. The academy teaches the absolute basics needed to begin a policing career. It does not teach you everything you need to know. It is a starting point only.
