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.

30 minutes after leaving the recovery room the VA police for Ed me to drive my car home or they would have it towed from the patient parking lot. I was still woozy from the anestesia and pain meds. We're they right in making me drive?

Asked by MadeInNY about 12 years ago

No, you should not have been driving.  

However, it sounds like you made the choice to drive after you found out that you were parked somewhere you should not have been.  Where was the person who was supposed to drive you home?  No one goes in for surgery and should drive themselves home, so what were your arrangements for getting home?

If you failed to arrange for transportaion, and then you knowingly drove when you were not able to avoid having a car towed is not a reason to blame the officer.  As they say a failure to plan is a plan for failure.

If you believe the officer was out of line, you should be complaining to his or her supervisor and not here anyway.

Somebody I know who lives in Michigan just told me he wanted to end his life. I don't know where he lives or any information about him where I can call somebody to tell them. I live in Toronto and feel like Im out of control with this situation

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

Contact your cell carrier for help.

That's very interesting that the study showed that about having a partner or not. Do you know why that is? Or is it just a statistic? Thanks again. (By the way, I'm 16 and thinking of going into law enforcement and this Q&A is great.)

Asked by Jet about 12 years ago

I'm afraid I cannot explain the why, just take a few guesses.  I believe the first study was conducted in San Diego during the 1970's.  There may have been additional studies since then.  Put Google to work - I imagine that you should be able to find the study published online.  Also, there may be newer studies that support or contradict the original.

can a single father of a daughter younger than five take her in the womens room? theres stuff in the mens she shouldn't see

Asked by Alex about 12 years ago

There is stuff in the women's restroom that you shouldn't see.  Stay out.

 

After a suspect is questioned and released from a police station, how does that suspect(s) get back home or to their car if it's parked at another location? Call a taxi or does a Police Officer drive them back to where they need to go? Thank You

Asked by edwurd about 12 years ago

Any of the above.  It could be anything that is reasonable.  Sometimes a suspect will not want to be seen in a police car (looks like a snitch) and will prefer to walk.  Other times a family member might pick them up.
