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.

I want to get arrested for a day ! What can I do ?

Asked by Kate over 11 years ago

Try doing something useful like working in a homeless shelter for the day.

If while driving through the intersection a person's front wheels were past the stop line when the light turned red, is that breaking the traffic law (running a red light)?

Asked by RH over 11 years ago

It depends on the state's laws.  Some states yes, others no. Additionally, red light cameras typically operate under a different set of laws in each state.  The rules for mailing tickets may be substantially different from on view violaions observed by a police officer.  So, you may or may not get a ticket mailed to you.  I really dont know.  Call the police department in question if it is really bothering you.

Asked by jada over 11 years ago

I have no idea.  You should contact a police officer in the state of Washington about those laws.

Okay I guess I should tell my parents. But when I do, what's the next step? I mean I more concerned about them than me. I understand what it means to drink. Does what they are doing violate "Social Host" laws?

Asked by Julian almost 12 years ago

I don't know what a 'social host' law is.  However, your parents should be able to provide you guidance on what you should and should not do.  Good luck.

Ok so my friends ex girlfriend has his ps4 and every time he try's to go over and get it she makes him leave and then tells her grandmother that he hurt her or touched her. But he never has he would never hurt women

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

What age can I leave my parents house without getting in legal trouble can I leave at17 ?

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

As for the noise violation (which is against the law), they have to excuse to not respond because there is nothing else that they're doing. The last misdemeanor/felony in the area was 2 years ago...

Asked by Jackson over 11 years ago

1.  Noise violations are not crimes.

2.  Just because you think it is noisy, doesn't mean it is a violation of local ordnance.

3.  Calling the cops on your neighbor for a noise violation is a pretty petty thing to do.

4.  Asking the government for permission to do something with your own property (i.e. your obsession with permitting) is repugnant. Even so, it is not likely enforceable by police officers.

I feel sorry for your neighbor.
