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.

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

What is your opinion about video games that allow the player to harm police officers (Grand Theft Auto, Watch_Dogs, etc.)? Keep in mind that the player is not obligated to harm the police and can finish the game without touching a single officer.

The glorification of violence is an unfortunate situation in modern society.  It desensitizes and dehumanizes people.  Marketing such games to children is abhorrent.

At the beginning of the year I got a MIP misdemeanor down in Florida but paid the fines and got it expunged off of my record. About a week ago I got another one in Michigan. Would this count as my second offense?

Asked by Rob Parker about 11 years ago

I don't know. Contact an attorney in Michigan.

See below.

Are police officers trained in emergency vehicle driving as part of their academy training? Or are they only trained if they will be driving a police car?

Asked by Jet over 11 years ago

I would imagine most states require police officers to receive emergency vehicle operation training in the academy.

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.
