How can I track my phone that is stolen?

Asked by Kumanan over 12 years ago

If it has already been stolen, and you have not proactively installed tracking software, you are probably out of luck. You might want to check some of the tech sites for additional information. Alternatively, you could call the NSA and ask for help, but they might not appreciate the call.

If you have not lost your phone, try installing one of these programs...

In your experience are a lot of police officers former-military? If so, are they usually former enlisted or former officers?

Thanks.

Asked by Johan almost 12 years ago

I'd say about 1/4 to 1/3 of the officers I have worked with are former military. Of those about 90% were enlisted/NCOs.

If some one is complying with the officer at what point is the officer justified in shooting someone

Asked by Jamiyssalinn@gmail.com over 11 years ago

In general, a police officer can use that force which is reasonable to defend himself or another, to prevent a crime or to detain a subject. Refer to http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=US&vol=490&invol=386 and http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=US&vol=471&invol=1 as a starting point for this body of work.

If a disabled person hits a parked car and the owner calls the cops and when the cops get there the owner tells him it was amestaken call but the next day they wantto put the cops again is that right or no and both cars have insurance

Asked by smiley956956 about 12 years ago

I have no clue as to what you are talking about. The application of punctuation may help, but I don't think so.

If you were involved in an accident, you might want to contact a civil attorney.
