if your out with your friend and they do something stupid and you are filming it can you get in trouble if your friend gets hurt?

Asked by Al almost 11 years ago

Possibly.

When a police officer pulls over someone, what are they doing in the police car with the computer after they get the license and registration? What specifically are they doing on the computer? Why does it take 10-20+ minutes if they are using a CPU?

Asked by ABC almost 11 years ago

A "CPU" is only part of the computer system, and typically not the slow part. If the officer is using some type of computer, it is networked via cell data service. The network is likely 3G or slower, so sending a request (such as a check on the validity of your license) is not as fast as you might hope. Also, since many of the computers are running some type of Windows OS, crashes are common. Frequently, I have sat on the side of the road while waiting for the system to reboot. Also, if there is someone that has a warrant who has a similar name, the officer will do additional research to make sure he or she shouldn't arrest you. 10-20 minutes isn't a long time for you to be stopped.

Lately there has been a lot of Abuse to synthetic cocaine, is there anything that police enforcement can do to get it off market?

Asked by nancy over 10 years ago

As soon as we figure out how to stop all natural cocaine, we should immediately apply the same strategy to synthetic cocaine.

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.

Asked by Hello (follow up) almost 11 years ago

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.

Nice jpg on an opinion blog. But there is no context to it, and it is therefore meaningless.
