Then your a better cop than we have here in britain! British cops are utter bastards for fitting people up. I once witnessed 6 cops turn up at a house with a bag of heroin, which they inserted into the drain pipe of the house. The n they knocked the door, served a search warrant, then pulled the heroin back out of the pipe and said look what we've found, oh dear! (for the record the guy was a known heroin dealer, but the bust was still bad)ace_of_something said:
1. Depends on your state laws. Juristiction is a a sticky wicket. Here the county line is right at the edge of the city and the next county is another city. People would often speed up to get into the next county thinking once they're in that county you can't give them a ticket. But here we have a 5 mile buffer, so they have to get a pretty good distance into the next county to avoid said ticket. And if i turn on my lights and they do that, than I just write the plate number, and now they have a 'fleeing to avoid arrest' which is much much worse than a small speeding ticket.sneakypenguin said:
2. I personally never found that as a cop, because this town has a very low prostitution rate. However teens do it. Actually truth be told, when I was in high school me and my friend would drive to the make out places, shine a giant light in cars to piss said people off and get them to chase us. Anyway, there is a law against it it's called Lewd conduct a similar law called indecent exposure carries a lesser charge. And the band 311 gets there name from this cities code for 'public' nudity.
You ever see reno 911? We got a call for a potential burglary in progress (this was about 7 in the afternoon in summer). The description was ?black male about 35? in a neighborhood of about 90% black population? yeah that helps. So I with a partner on foot patrol, show up a little later than a guy in a cruiser (Foot Pat for the win!) We find no trace of the house being broken into. The occupant of the house says ?I didn?t make any call like that. Why are you here bothering me? You are always here bothering me you fucking pigs!? We say alright, fine. Leave about 5 minutes later another call for the same thing about 2 blocks away, same description. Except this time we have ?he?s wearing a brown cowboy hat? That narrows it down. And since I was only two blocks away me and my partner bolt. When we show up There is the black male mid 30?s with a wearing brown cowboy hat? a black tshirt, black chuck tailors? and no pants of any sort.Clairaudient said:
guess what he was doing? He was looking into windows and jerking off into a potted plant he was carrying. So we chased him around the block about 3 times, cuz both me and my partner were running slow cuz we were hoping the other one would tackle him. Eventually I just decided I?ll have to do it. Turns out the guy was high out of his mind on meth.
That has to be in the top 3. We chased him around in a circle around the block for like 3 or 4 laps.
I will say this, compared to the shit i see in the jail, the shit on the street was nothing.
I believe in a being a good person and helping my fellow man. So if it was like assault, murder, a purse snatching, you bet your ass. But I think most people should act like that.Fruhstuck said:
Excessive force is hitting someone who is already in restraints. Excessive force is using your weapons when someone is unarmed and screaming at you. There is actually a chart with different levels of force (passive resistance, active resistance, active aggression, etc.) you are allowed to go ?one level? above what the other person is using.
Edit: I don?t carry the shield anymore but if I did, unless someone admits to murder or something probably not.
My non border state has an ICE (immigrations customs enforcement, INS no longer exists) headquarters in this city, so we almost never have to deal with that. If you arrest someone who turns out to be an illegal we just call ice and let them know, and they sit in jail.TriggerAF said:
I have serious issues with immigration laws, especially since I started working at jail.
No and No. It?s an officer?s discretion but most of your traffic stops are documented and you have to say ? I gave a warning? if you did. If you?re doing that all the time expect internal affairs to ask why. That quota thing is an urban myth. People think when they see a lot of cops out that the ?quota? most be nearing it?s turn in date, the truth is speeding/drunkenness has become a problem in a certain area so they put more patrol cars in that area to curb the problem.superbleeder12 said:
The right to assemble is inalienable (we?ve come a long way from the 1960?s) but officer presence is required at most political rallies. Not because of the people holding said rally but usually everyone else The officers aren?t there to start shit, they?re there IN CASE something happens to be able to stop it before it starts. And usually in most states, you need a permit to protest. However, your protest cannot obstruct other people?s rightsLabyrinth said:
Peaceful protest is not only allowed but encouraged. This country was founded on rebellion.
Only once to twice usually it was more disrespectful ?sup brah?? kind of stuff. You have to understand I?m a very wide-shouldered stocky person who is 6?6? And have kind of a serious looking face. Most people are scared of me.fluffylandmine said:
Context is once again important here if you?re in a hardware store or at a construction site. Actually in my teen years me and my friends would dumpster dive and my friend who worked at a grocery store would use his discount to buy cheap generic soda. We would go to a park, and smash it all. Once or twice a cop pulled up and asked what we were doing or if there was booze in the cans. We showed them our broom and ensured we?d clean up when we were finished and they were on their way. After watching for a minute or two. But the ?appearance? of crime is a crime too. So think of that.
They can't do much about it unless they have kids than you might get in troubleKhell_Sennet said:
Totally! Saints Row is better though. I actually made my gang look kind of like cops. It creates a very odd game.Dommyboy said:
I was not a detective, sad to say, so I didn't do much with interviewing. Though in vice I did from time to time. That routine is sometimes used but it only works onBootss1 said:

If some kids were lighting fireworks that shouldn't have them, I personally would take said fireworks bring them to evidence for disposal and than bring the kids home to their parents and let them know what's gong on. (I assume you mean like 12-14 year olds.)
I don't think you realize just how angry I got reading that. If you can't catch someone by the book than you aren't doing a good job. That's crooked and if they are doing stuff like that they don't deserve their job in any way.orifice said:

Awesome, a guy punched me in the face a while ago and i broke his arm, both wrists and ankle in the ensueing fightace_of_something said:I believe in a being a good person and helping my fellow man.

If that'd happened under your jurisdiction what would be the repurcussions for me?
EDIT: what's the best thing about being on the force?
hey, if my brother got busted for dealing, and I knew about it but wasnt involved in any way, could I get prosecuted?
also, I have to appear in court soon as a witness to a stabbing, but I don't really want to go(because I think I make a poor witness), how can I get out of it?

why do you hate protesters? why are you against the freedom of speech?
why don't you guys take action about the corruption in the force

what was your favorite aspect of being on the force, and what was your best moment as an officer? (sorry if you have already answered something like this)
What was your most frightening moment on the force?

no mean if you and another cop catch kids doing something wrong, will you do good cop bad cop? that's what happened to me. my freind was carrying fireworks so one took them and let him off with a warning because we were not near people went he lit them off. the other cop was trying to 'convince' his co-worker that they should total ticket my freindace_of_something said:
The KKK did a rally near our Mexican consulate. And than there was a counter rally. And a third rally to say how they don't like illegal immigrants or the KKK. (That last one was dumb cuz the consulate helps LEGAL immigrants or people become legal) We were all sure that shit would get out of control but it was pretty tame because we made them all stay 'outside of throwing distance' away from each other. Edit: Yes some of them spit but that individual gets pulled out handcuffed and sent away for assault before they can make things worse.SnowCold said:
Depending on WHY he punched you could be nothing or it could be aggro assault (which means you hit someone but you had a good reason).Fruhstuck said:

2. You don't have to UNLESS you've been Subpoena?d, which if you haven't and you waffle on them they might do. However I would urge you to do your civic duty and testify people who stab people shouldn?t be given any chance to roam the streets.
Yes very much so. But it's not a fairy tale, most people are not going to respect the authority of your office in any way, most people are not happy to see you, and most people assume a lot about you; you're a Fascist. You hate (insert whatever here). You?re racist against (whatever you want). But it's rewarding you help everyone around you as best you can and can take pride in that. When someone is happy to see you and you really help them out it's awesome.klc0100 said:
Illegally? No actually. I downloaded a ton until it became a illegal though. I didn't stop out of my boyscoutism though it was because my computer was too old and crappy to run the software at the time. And since than i've felt it's too much effort.
I feel your trying to goad me into a stupid internet argument. You have disrespected me and the other people in this thread so, I will not give you a respectful answer.Pepperlander said:
Thankfully I personally never had to deal with a standoff... But undercover work is frightening in general. I was in the gang unit briefly. My first arrest Being in a room with a wire (which by the way now a-days is about the size of an eraser head) with 5 guys who are all carrying guns... who search me before entering and took away my only weapon.Drake the Dragonheart said:
That made me sweat really bad. They questioned why I was sweating and I than played it off as the clanks (withdraws). I bought the stuff made it out. The other guys ran inside and arrested all of them. (and FYI The amount I purchased was $8,000) worth and they had a lot more. All of them also had illegal weapons and other outstanding warrants. Still... scary as hell.
That could go on and on. If you?ve ever had someone turn to you and say ?It?s my fist and it?s my ass, and I can do what I want with it.? Or seen a grown man cry and hide in terror from the idea of using a shower, if you've noticed that many homeless guys pee next to the toilet but not in it, if you've see to men fight nearly to the death over a magazine, or if you've seen two trannies fight in a lobby... if you've seen all that... You have a small idea what it?s like to work in corrections.SecretTacoNinja said:
I dont know if I have been Subpoena'd, all I know is my mom says I have to go... they will give me the statement I made on the night it happened, which is going to be embaressing because I was so freaked out I couldn't think straight...
could I say that I fear for my safety, because the stabbers were gang affiliated or something? is there anything you can tell me that might get me out of it?
(not that I don't want to help, but they have security cameras from five angls at least, and I think I would be more of a hinderance than a help...)
