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.

What would the cops do if a teenager beat another teenager with a baseball bat in broad daylight, with a nearby security guard as a witness to the crime?

Asked by Jessie almost 12 years ago

It depends on what the investigation revealed. Was it an assault or self-defense? Since I was not there and did not conduct the investigation, it is impossible for me to say what the best action should be for the officers to take.

Call your local police department and ask for their assistance. They will know what to do.

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 almost 12 years ago

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

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?

I have a video message saved on my phone of a ex friend threatening to hurt me. If I go to the police to submit a report would my phone be taken away ?

Asked by girl22 almost 12 years ago

The video is evidence. They will need to seize the phone at least long enough to take the video from the phone.
