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.

All arrests must be based on probable cause.

Can a Individual be accepted into the Police Department if diagnose with Mild Autism (High Functioning) Ex. Able to Drive, Shoot, Communicate and in control.

Asked by Alden almost 11 years ago

I don't know.  Contact the agency you are interested in and talk to their recruiter about your situation.

As for the noise violation (which is against the law), they have to excuse to not respond because there is nothing else that they're doing. The last misdemeanor/felony in the area was 2 years ago...

Asked by Jackson about 11 years ago

1.  Noise violations are not crimes.

2.  Just because you think it is noisy, doesn't mean it is a violation of local ordnance.

3.  Calling the cops on your neighbor for a noise violation is a pretty petty thing to do.

4.  Asking the government for permission to do something with your own property (i.e. your obsession with permitting) is repugnant. Even so, it is not likely enforceable by police officers.

I feel sorry for your neighbor.

I'm a professional photographer currently a student at a University in San Francisco. I want to join a police force for a day or two and be embedded with them to capture how the officers conduct daily routine. How can I become embedded ?

Call your local police department and ask for their assistance. If they allow it, they will describe the process.

What happens if a police dog bites someone who is later found to be the wrong person?

Asked by Park about 11 years ago

All use of force, including a dog bite, is governed by federal and state law.  There can be civil and/or criminal repercussions for the unlawful application of force. Graham v. Connor (490 U.S. 386 (1989)) is a landmark case that is instructive on this issue. http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=US&vol=490&invol=386
