I tried to convince my friends, most/all are underage, to not drink during a trip up north soon. Most of them said they would anyway. I planned to go and still try to convince them not to. But am I guilty of accessory if i go, or don't report them???

Children drinking alcohol is a really bad idea. I'd suggest avoiding being where kids are drinking, and talking with your parents if you have any questions about what actions you should or should not take.

I know that the Secret Service and FBI have authority over local police when it comes to presidential security, but what about in general? Eg, if you are holding someone in jail, do they always have authority to make you hand them over to them?

I gave a neighborhood boy a ride to the mall. When I reached my destination my phone had been removed from my bag on the back floor behind the drivers seat. Is there any recourse I can take toward the boy. He and I were the only ones in the car.

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

My friend was messing with his friends who were at a party. His plan was to impersonate a cop by placing red/blue lights in his car and drive up to them. On their property, he turned the lights on. A state cop saw him and stopped him. Was it illegal?

Asked by Bubba76 over 11 years ago

Sounds like it. Impersonating a police officer is illegal in most (all?) states. Installation and use of certain revolving, blinking or flashing lists on a car is also illegal in most (all?) states.

what happens after a victim reports a domestic violence case but has no proof so it is just settled as a report?

Asked by ashley113 over 11 years ago

The case remains open but inactive. Should new evidence be presented in the case (not likely), the case may develop further.

However, the victim can always decide to make a change in his or her life, and even if no arrest is made, there are private and public resources available to help them leave the situation.
