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 over 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.

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.

Hello, I was wondering about the illegal weapons in NY? Is a Sai illegal in New York State?

Asked by Collin about 12 years ago

I don't know.  I'd guess yes for the city of NY, and probably for the rest of the state.  NY dislikes armed citizens who can defend themselves.
