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.

Does the state trooper in Ohio state have the right to ask the immigration questions when somebody got pulled over for speeding? Is it legal to ask for the I.D of the Passengers in the car in ohio?

Asked by Peter Johnson over 12 years ago

I can't speak to the specifics of Ohio law, but generally yes and yes.

Can a cop who is "watching" me, talk to other civilians about the case?

Asked by bobby sue over 12 years ago

I don't know what you mean by "watching me."  If you are the subject of an investigation, then yes, the police will definitely talk to other people about you.

Are you allowed to lie about being a police officer if you're asked point-blank, like in an undercover sting or something?

Asked by Jax almost 13 years ago

Yes.

What do you think of the George Zimmerman case? did the jury make the right call?

Asked by Anon over 12 years ago

 

I saw no evidence that indicated George Zimmerman committed any crime, and yes, the jury's duty was to acquit.  

Frankly, it is my belief that this was a case of wrongful prosecution for political gains, and testimony from at least one employee within the State Attorney's office stating the prosecution was withholding evidence from the defense team certainly affirms that belief.

3rd time tenants lived in the house and took the intruders sitting in drive as a threat, so they called to report that incident. Since nothing happened sheriff didn't need to come out? But a report could be filed on the phone then?

Asked by mjd over 12 years ago

Most agencies would probably not come out since no one was on scene, but yes, the complainant could make a report by phone.

are all these questions kept confidential

Asked by wolfgirl over 12 years ago

Of course not.

 

my 15yr old daughter does not want to come home she wants to stay at her boyfriends house and the boyfriends mother is not realy helping she allows her to stay at her house and it is making it easy for my daughter to be there what can i do about this

Asked by renee about 12 years ago

If you know where she is, go get her.  If another adult is interfering with the custody of your child, that could be a crime & feel free to call the local law enforcement agency.

If she refuses to come home and you don't know where she is, you can report her as a runaway.
