Asked by InquiringMind almost 12 years ago

It depends on a number of factors including jurisdictional authority and the statute of limitations.

In other words, if anyone with a license can carry a gun, that gives them the power to kill people. Even if they only use their gun for the right reasons, they still have so much power without necessarily that much training.

The "power to kill" people does not come from a concealed carry permit. If you believe that, you are very mistaken on the law - both natural and statutory.

When applying to be a police officer you are asked if you had been involved in any criminal activity, if i answer honestly even though I have a clean record could it legally be used to obtain a search warrant or for a criminal investigation?

Depends on the circumstances. However, I'm not sure that you are describing the ideal police candidate anyway...

When a police officer takes a civil service test to be promoted, does it take passing the test AND an appointment to the new rank, or is the test hard enough for anyone who passes it to reach a new rank?

Asked by Eagle almost 12 years ago

No idea - I didn't work at one of those departments.

I would sincerely hope that people were not promoted based on a test score, but when you mix government and unions and there is rarely any room for common sense.

Promotion should be based on ability. Most tests are only analyzing a person's ability to memorize a set of facts.

Depends on state law. Different states have different laws, so contact a local law enforcement agency.
