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 going into law enforcement but i want to get a tattoo on my upper arm. If it it slightly visible when wearing short sleeve shirts would it effect me getting a job?

Asked by Jason about 12 years ago

Yep.

Im a sophomore at high school & I was suspended from school for 3 days becuz I stole a sweater An officer came in to talk to me & told me charges will be dropped & I wasn't arrested at all & I got off with a warning but will that show up on my record

Asked by HalpMe over 11 years ago

School record - probably. If you were charged with something, then criminal record - yes.

So I see a lot of videos on YouTube that are recordings of police officers. Apparently this is legal. Would someone recording you make you a little uncomfortable even if you were acting according to the law? Thanks

Asked by In almost 12 years ago

Never bothered me.  

I think I only had to say something to someone once who was recording me.  In that case a pedestrian had been struck by a car and was laying in the road.  The pedestrian was significantly injured.  Some idiot decided he wanted to film the injured person and me.  While distasteful, it isn't illegal.  However, when the cell phone video superstar was standing in the roadway blocking the ambulance crew from getting to the injured party, I was happy to escort him to the sidewalk.

Is calling someone fake on Instagram a form of cyber bulling? Or a donkey?

Asked by Kennedi over 11 years ago

I'm not about to make a judgement call on what is or is not a violation of some state's laws on cyber bullying.  However, I would encourage you and everyone else to (1) ignore other people's hurtful words and (2) if you don't have anything nice to say, say nothing.

I need to talk to a cop not to submit a crime but to see if this is a crime or to much punishment for my age.

Ok. Call your local police department and ask for their assistance.

my mom was at work and another lady that worked with her was provoking her and telling mean stuff also taking my moms stuff away, my mom asked for them nicely so she threw them at my mom and that made my mom mad so she punched the lady in the arm so

Asked by paulina over 11 years ago

I'm not sure what your question is.

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 over 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.
