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 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 almost 12 years ago

You should contact a Maryland police department for information.

I am considering purchasing a collapsible baton purely for self defense, it is however illegal in the state I live in, how strict will local police officers be if I carry this?

Asked by Aron almost 12 years ago

If it is a crime for you to carry the baton, then I would expect that you would be arrested.

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.

Hello Bluesheepdog,
My question is: if I see children in a vehicle at the parking lot, is that something I can report on the emergency line? I don't agree with it, but uncertain if it is a cause the police is concerned about.

Asked by Irene Judith Hernandez over 11 years ago

If children are in danger, please call the emergency line.

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