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.

So it's okay that they put down concrete on their lawn, 10 feet into my property, which caused water runoff that flooded my basement more than once? Plus they leave lit camp fires outside over night right next to building supplies.

Asked by Jackson about 12 years ago

As was probably already explained to you, it is a civil issue.  Contact an attorney and sue them if you so desire.

If I spent real life money on something online and somebody does not deliver through on their end, can I charge them?

Asked by Jamie about 12 years ago

It could be civil or criminal. You should contact your local police department to see if it is a crime.

Hi my name is susana and I have a question about abuse. My best friend since we were kids is being abused daily and she has 4 kids. She does not have any place to go and mu house is to small. She has tried to leave but he threatened to kill her

Asked by susana about 12 years ago

If she is unwilling to contact local police for assistance, she can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at (800) 799-7233 for confidential assistance.

(continued) Again I have a lot of respect for police officers and I know its both physical and very mental too. I just want to know what you think. Also if I go to a top-rate university how could I use that to become a police officer?

Asked by Phillip over 12 years ago

You can spend a lot of money at a "top rate" university, but it won't help you become a police officer any more than going to a regular state university.  It will help you get deeper in debt, though.

If your desire is to go to a college, please do so.  If your desire is to be a police officer, consider entering military service, getting some life experience and a skill.  Read through my prior answers on this above.

Best of luck.

Another question is, can I report license number if I see somebody texting?

Also, when a person is driving in a poor manner (e.g. speeding and moving from lane to lane with no care of those around him/her).

Asked by Irene Judith Hernandez almost 12 years ago

You can call. Please don't cause an accident by calling while driving to report someone else on their phone while driving.
