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.

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?

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

In tx is the age of consent 17 ? I've looked it up and everywhere it says 17 but this one post said even if they have sex at 17 the other person involved can still get in trouble if older

I don't know.  Contact a police or sheriff's department in Texas.

What offense or violation would land someone only a 3 month sentence in prison maximum? One of my friends says he went to jail for 3 months but when we ask what he did, silence. I think he's lying. Help a gal win a bet here. Thanks. :-)

Asked by Kali about 12 years ago

Any misdemeanor offense can carry a penalty of three months.  So, pretty much anything from driving with a suspended license to shoplifting to punching his wife.

can a older guy get a 17 year old girl locked up for something he thinks she did but she didnt do it ?

All arrests must be based on probable cause.

Just want to say thanks for your answers. Yeah I know the police and military are smart despite the stereotypes (which might just exist where I live.) I really want to be a navy officer but I don't know if that'll work out because of my asthma.

Asked by Phillip about 12 years ago

The Navy is a good way to go.  My family has had at least one man in the US Navy continuously since 1943.  You definitely want to talk to a recruiter about the asthma, but I don't think it would bar you from service.

I am just curious if a person is under 18 but at legal age of consent is sexually assaulted, do the police have to go to the minor's parents?

Asked by Pixie over 11 years ago

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