Ask a Police Officer anything

Last Answer on October 29, 2014

I just started dating an officer. After 4 dates he wants my last name, race, and asked if I am up late at night. Not your usual question I'm sure, but what comes to mind is that he is trying to look me up. What are your thoughts?

Asked by ccmot over 11 years ago

There is no way for me to know why he has asked these things. However, these are my immediate thoughts:

1. I'd find it really odd if I had been on four dates with someone and did not know their last name.

2. It would be really odd if I had been on four dates with someone and wasn't able to figure out her race.

3. What time of day you are up has nothing to do with checking someone's background or history.

4. If you are uncomfortable with the guy, consider dumping him and moving on.

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.

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.
