Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.

I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.

Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.

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 almost 11 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.

is an officer of the law ever classed as off duty

Asked by kelly fuller over 11 years ago

Unless he/she is being paid, the officer is off duty.  Different states have differant laws on what authority an off duty officer has.

Asked by paulina almost 11 years ago

I'm not sure what your question is.

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 11 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.

I need to talk to a cop not to submit a crime but to see if this is a crime or to much punishment for my age.

Ok. Call your local police department and ask for their assistance.

I am considering going into law enforcement but i want to get a tattoo on my upper arm. If it it slightly visible when wearing short sleeve shirts would it effect me getting a job?

Asked by Jason over 11 years ago

Yep.

Does a police station have an onsite medical person like a Nurse in the building?

Thanks

Asked by Edwurd about 11 years ago

Not usually.  A medium to large size jail will typically have medical staff on duty, however.
