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.

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 over 11 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.

Yes.

Do unmarked cars usually have a way of showing that they are the police without full emergency lights? (For example, if they want people to see them if they need help.) Also, are there common instances where something like this is used?

My DUI trial was postponed 5 times. The cop didn't show on the 5th and I was in detox which my lawyer forgot to mention resulting in a warrant so it was clearly scheduled. Why would he not have shown and what are his chances of showing to the next?

Asked by Ron almost 12 years ago

I don't know; I am not a mind reader.  It is possible that the court has failer to subpoena him/her properly.  He/She might be out on medical leave.  (etc, etc, etc)  It seems to me that the real question should be why can't your defense attorney tell you what's going on?

What do you do when parents don't allow young adults over 21 to go out with others? Is there any restraining order which forces parents to allow young adults to have freedom?

Asked by moonbunnie2012@aol.com over 11 years ago

Ask me a serious question.

If you are an adult - move out of your parents' home. Get a job and make your own way in life.

I have a video message saved on my phone of a ex friend threatening to hurt me. If I go to the police to submit a report would my phone be taken away ?

Asked by girl22 over 11 years ago

The video is evidence. They will need to seize the phone at least long enough to take the video from the phone.
