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 over 11 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.

If there is a specialty unit such as intelligence in a PD, will there only be one team (as opposed to shifts) so they can be sure everyone is always on the same page?

Asked by 678 almost 12 years ago

At very large departments, there may be multiple shifts or squads of officers in a specialty unit. At small to medium agencies, there is typically only one squad, and they might work varying hours/days of the week as the job requires.

My friend was messing with his friends who were at a party. His plan was to impersonate a cop by placing red/blue lights in his car and drive up to them. On their property, he turned the lights on. A state cop saw him and stopped him. Was it illegal?

Asked by Bubba76 over 11 years ago

Sounds like it. Impersonating a police officer is illegal in most (all?) states. Installation and use of certain revolving, blinking or flashing lists on a car is also illegal in most (all?) states.
