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.

I was stopped by police when walking home from a St Pat's party a couple of weeks ago. I don't remember it clearly but I wasn't taken to station. They looked at my driver's license and actually drove me home. Could I still receive a citation?

Asked by Pete about 11 years ago

For what?  Walking in public?

If you were intoxicated to the point of being charged with something it is unlikely the officers would have dropped you off at home.

is it ok for women to hit men? what are some consequences?

Asked by Maggie almost 11 years ago

No. Call your cell provider.

if you got caught in a parking lot "parking" and you didnt sign a paper or anything does that show up on a record anywhere?

Asked by sydney about 11 years ago

Your information and the details of the contact are probably stored in the local department's database.  If they are networked with other agencies, they all departments in that network would have access to the information as well.

If you were not charged with a crime, then the information would not be in a national criminal database.

I plan on pursuing in becoming a police officer, I have had juvenile offenses though. I committed a first degree armed robbery, was tried in juvenile court but I now have a sealed ADULT record somehow. Is this still possible for me?

Asked by Julian almost 11 years ago

I don't know what your state's laws may be in regard to this.  I would hope that most departments would not hire a convicted armed robber, but that's just me.
