Nope.

What do you do when parents don't allow young adults over 21 to go out with others? Is there any restraining order which forces parents to allow young adults to have freedom?

Ask me a serious question.

If you are an adult - move out of your parents' home. Get a job and make your own way in life.

Do unmarked cars usually have a way of showing that they are the police without full emergency lights? (For example, if they want people to see them if they need help.) Also, are there common instances where something like this is used?

Just to add, my window shades were down so when I heard him I went to the window from behind them. Could I have been mistaken for a burglar trying to ambush him? Also, how should I apologize for the false alarm (accidental)? (I'm a kid who was alone)

Asked by DDG almost 12 years ago

Accidents happen and a lot of people mistakenly set off their alarms. However, the officers don't know which alarms are accidents or real until they investigate them. If during the course of that investigation, someone surprises them - well, things might get tense for a few minutes. Calling the PD once you realize a mistake has been made is the best course of action. They can tell you if they want you to go outside, stay inside or whatever.

Are there procedures that police officers use that are wrong according to their training (not "textbook" perfect) but are still used because they are more convenient and/or make more sense?

Asked by Jes over 11 years ago

Nothing in reality is ever textbook perfect. There are too many variables in every investigation and interaction. Also, criminals rarely cooperate.
