Do the police handle illegal sites, videos on the internet? If so why are there so many sites and videos still up? Is there anything that I can do to stop these things from happening?

Asked by Azzy over 10 years ago

Yes, law enforcement addresses illegal activity on the internet. Jurisdiction is often the largest problem for these cases. For example, a police officer in the United States cannot prosecute someone who is outside of the USA.

My former boss loaned me her vehicle so I could watch her children for a few months. They recently got into daycare. She threatened me through text that she would report it stolen since I wouldnt watch her kids Monday due to illness. Is that illegal?

Sounds like you probably should return the car and find a new friend.

1. Why are ethics and character so important in the field of law enforcement?

Asked by kay about 11 years ago

I hope you are not planning a career in law enforcement. Even the lowest of ethical standards require you to do your own homework.

Can the police stop cars with young kids in the front seat to tell them that it is not safe even though in NYS it is not illegal? This is a major problem where I live. Kids as young as 6 commonly sit in the front seat.

Asked by Jo about 11 years ago

No. A police officer may not forcibly detain someone without reasonable suspicion of an illegal act.

Your example would be akin to police officers stopping someone because they had a Big Mac and you believe fast food isn't healthy. Police officers have enough to do just enforcing criminal laws. They should not play nanny too.
