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.

Is there any way I can get into my hometown police academy by expressing to them that I need the job and was made for the job. I have been around drugs and done them and am afraid it will hurt me. I want this with all of my being!!!

You should contact the admissions officer and apply.

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.

Asked by Daisie over 11 years ago

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

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 12 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 Q) how can i a police officer?

Contact your local police department and ask them.

30 minutes after leaving the recovery room the VA police for Ed me to drive my car home or they would have it towed from the patient parking lot. I was still woozy from the anestesia and pain meds. We're they right in making me drive?

Asked by MadeInNY almost 12 years ago

No, you should not have been driving.  

However, it sounds like you made the choice to drive after you found out that you were parked somewhere you should not have been.  Where was the person who was supposed to drive you home?  No one goes in for surgery and should drive themselves home, so what were your arrangements for getting home?

If you failed to arrange for transportaion, and then you knowingly drove when you were not able to avoid having a car towed is not a reason to blame the officer.  As they say a failure to plan is a plan for failure.

If you believe the officer was out of line, you should be complaining to his or her supervisor and not here anyway.

When a police officer pulls over someone, what are they doing in the police car with the computer after they get the license and registration? What specifically are they doing on the computer? Why does it take 10-20+ minutes if they are using a CPU?

Asked by ABC over 12 years ago

A "CPU" is only part of the computer system, and typically not the slow part.  If the officer is using some type of computer, it is networked via cell data service.  The network is likely 3G or slower, so sending a request (such as a check on the validity of your license) is not as fast as you might hope.  Also, since many of the computers are running some type of Windows OS, crashes are common.  Frequently, I have sat on the side of the road while waiting for the system to reboot.  Also, if there is someone that has a warrant who has a similar name, the officer will do additional research to make sure he or she shouldn't arrest you.  10-20 minutes isn't a long time for you to be stopped.
