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.

In Florida, what is the worst case scenario for getting caught with a fake id (just fake in age) for getting into a club (i.e. a 17 year old with an id saying he's 18)? Can you be arrested? Or does the bouncer take your card?

I became aware of my husband drinking and driving. I have told him that when I am aware that he is doing this, I will report him (and his car license plate) to the police. He is in denial of his problem. Will I be taken seriously?

Asked by momof3 about 11 years ago

If you are asking will your husband take you seriously, I don't know.  Probably not.  It sounds like he has a lack of regard for the safety of himself and others.  Anything you say is unlikely to get him to change his behavior.

If you are asking will the police dispatcher take you seriously, of course they will.

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 a Doorman refuse to let a police officer in a building if he does not provide a search warrant or some kind of document?

Asked by joe louis over 10 years ago

It depends on the circumstances. For example, if police received a 911 call from a building and the doorman tried to block the officers' entry, he would be arrested for obstruction.

Is it legal to conceal carry a telescopic baton in Maryland? Baton is a loose label and doesn't seem to be categorized as a dangerous or deadly weapon. As long as it isn't carried with intent to harm my understand is it should be legal.

Asked by Jester714 over 10 years ago

You should contact a Maryland police department for information.
