I think I ran a red light. It turned red after my front wheels were past the stop line. The camera flashed at that point and another flashed when I was in the middle of the innersection. Will I receive a ticket in the mail?

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 over 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.

I am 18 and live with my grandparents. My grandmother is forcing me to go to church she says if I don't go she will punish me. Is it illegal for her to force me to go to church? "Freedom of religion?"

You need to take responsibility for your own life. Move out, get a job and your own place. There is no reason why you should be complaining about any restrictions placed on your continued stay in their house and on their dime. If you don't like it, hit the door.

Also, you clearly have no understanding of the US Constitution if you think the First Amendment applies to this situation.
