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.

My friend was the designated driver, driving someone else's car. She was pulled over and given a ticket for impeding traffic because the brights were on without her knowledge. Can she fight this ticket and win?

Asked by Emily over 12 years ago

I don't know. She should probably contact an attorney.

Hi! I'm Vanessa and I was wondering if it is hard being a police officer

Asked by Vanessa about 12 years ago

It can be. Time away from the family, physical danger and dealing with other people's problems are just some of the downsides to the job.

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

Asked by Kennedi about 12 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.

Can a Doorman refuse to let a police officer in a building if he does not provide a search warrant or some kind of document?

Asked by joe louis almost 12 years ago

It depends on the circumstances. For example, if police received a 911 call from a building and the doorman tried to block the officers' entry, he would be arrested for obstruction.
