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.

Possibly.  You likely can get this sealed, but you should contact a local attorney.

what happens after a victim reports a domestic violence case but has no proof so it is just settled as a report?

Asked by ashley113 almost 12 years ago

The case remains open but inactive.  Should new evidence be presented in the case (not likely), the case may develop further.

However, the victim can always decide to make a change in his or her life, and even if no arrest is made, there are private and public resources available to help them leave the situation.

Why don't people ever have lawyers while being interrogated on TV? I know TV isn't always accurate, but is there a reason why there's never an attorney? (Except for in court)

Asked by Jacob almost 12 years ago

TV and the movies rarely portray law enforcement (or anything else for that matter) in a realistic manner.  Even the so-called reality shows are heavily edited to present what the network wants to show you.

As for their reasoning...well it all revolves around $$$.  The better the story, the more viewers they get.  More viewers = more advertising dollars.  Everything on TV is about making money.  That is the reason why "news" programs are sensationalistic rather than objective.
