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.

Legally in South Carolina , can you move out of your house at 16 without parental Consent?

Asked by Ashash over 11 years ago

Call your local police department and ask for their assistance. They will know what to do.

Can I got to the police station and find out if I can legally buy/own a firearm instead of going to a firearm store?

Asked by Ralph over 12 years ago

No.

Commercial firearms transactions go through a special FBI database.  The database used is not one that is available to other law enforcement agencies.  Some of the information in the database is available to outside agencies through other files, but not all of it.  For example, if a police officer was to run a "normal" criminal history on a person, it would show prior felony convictions but not other things like if you had been adjudicated mentally ill, renounced your citizenship, etc.

Chances are you are the best person to know if you are no longer allowed to own a firearm.  If you have a specific question about a possible prohibition, feel free to ask.

Nope.

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?

Asked by MICHEAL over 12 years ago

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

If I were to be physically assaulted by a group of guys as a junior at school, suffer from a back eye, minor concussion, and a cracked rib, along with we bruising, what would happen if I reported it in a police station with my boyfriend?

Asked by Jada almost 12 years ago

It would be investigated as any other crime.

I am curious on how this was not reported when you were at the hospital.

Hello officer. I am a juvenile (17) who will be 18 in june. Yesterday, I got cut by a mustang while driving... and I began to follow her. After 5 minutes, we both came to a walmart, and she called the cops. I am being charged with stalking? why?

Asked by Gus about 12 years ago

Since I was not there, nor did I conduct an investigation in the incident, I don't know what the probable cause was for your charge.

However, I suspect it might have something to do with your statement "and I began to follow her."

Getting angry about some perceived slight while driving, and then chasing the woman, is likely the source of your problems.

Me and my friend have always wanted to get cuffed to see how it feels so can we ask a police to cuff us for a second

Asked by Lily almost 12 years ago

You can ask, but don't expect to get a positive reaction.
