Asked by Question1 about 12 years ago

I have no idea what a PND is.

Generally, if you have ever been charged with a crime, then it is part of your official criminal history.

I have no clue as to what you are talking about. The application of punctuation may help, but I don't think so.

If you were involved in an accident, you might want to contact a civil attorney.

Hey, thanks for all the time you take to answer! You mentioned you avoid police shows? Is there any reason why? Also Is this a common thing in law enforcement?

Asked by Ali G about 12 years ago

When I did the job for 8-12 hours a day, I had no interest in watching more of it on the tv.

Besides, the way the editors cut the reality shows like Cops up to make them fit between commercials is not realistic. You only see a fraction of a case, say 10 minutes of something that took the officers hourse to resolve. It might be exciting, but it builds a very unrealistic expecation in the public.

Oh, and about 95% of what you see in CSI is b.s. I can't tell you how many times I had someone tell me to do something impossible that they saw in that show.
