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.

Can the police stop cars with young kids in the front seat to tell them that it is not safe even though in NYS it is not illegal? This is a major problem where I live. Kids as young as 6 commonly sit in the front seat.

Asked by Jo almost 12 years ago

No.  A police officer may not forcibly detain someone without reasonable suspicion of an illegal act.  

Your example would be akin to police officers stopping someone because they had a Big Mac and you believe fast food isn't healthy.  Police officers have enough to do just enforcing criminal laws.  They should not play nanny too.
