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.

I am considering purchasing a collapsible baton purely for self defense, it is however illegal in the state I live in, how strict will local police officers be if I carry this?

Asked by Aron almost 11 years ago

If it is a crime for you to carry the baton, then I would expect that you would be arrested.

is an officer of the law ever classed as off duty

Asked by kelly fuller over 11 years ago

Unless he/she is being paid, the officer is off duty.  Different states have differant laws on what authority an off duty officer has.

Do the police handle illegal sites, videos on the internet? If so why are there so many sites and videos still up? Is there anything that I can do to stop these things from happening?

Asked by Azzy almost 11 years ago

Yes, law enforcement addresses illegal activity on the internet.  Jurisdiction is often the largest problem for these cases.  For example, a police officer in the United States cannot prosecute someone who is outside of the USA.

I want join the police academy within the year. I have two concerns; I have epilepsy. It's well controlled with medication and I haven't had a seizure in a year+. I also have a poor driving record. 4 car accidents I have caused. Will this prevent me?

Asked by Justin over 10 years ago

Probably. I'd suggest looking for something related to law enforcement (if that's what you want to do) that does not include driving or the carrying of arms.

My former boss loaned me her vehicle so I could watch her children for a few months. They recently got into daycare. She threatened me through text that she would report it stolen since I wouldnt watch her kids Monday due to illness. Is that illegal?

Asked by Deidre over 11 years ago

Sounds like you probably should return the car and find a new friend.
