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.
By phone is often the easiest for many people. Sometimes walking into the police station is easier.

Bouncer
What's the best way to "get in good" with the bouncer at the door?
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.

If you believe a crime has been committed, I would encourage you to contact the police.
Share Answer: 
Disposable restraints tend to be lighter and more compact than metal chain or hinged handcuffs. Depending on policy, an officer may choose to use them instead of traditional handcuffs for the weight and space savings. Additionally, they can be used in a mass arrest situation since more of them can be carried by each officer.
There is a huge difference between being detained and arrested. If you have been arrested, you are being charged with a specific crime and supported by probable cause. If you are being detained, officers have established reasonable, articulable suspicion that you may have committed a crime and they are now investigating to see if a crime has been committed.
