Can off duty officer call in on duty officer to issue speeding ticket without showing ID to driver? Can off duty officer leave scene (when on duty office arrives) and not sign ticket. How far does an officer have to track to issue speeding ticket?

It depends on the laws of your state. If I understand your question, it is legal for one officer to issue a citation based on another officer's observations (in at least some states - if not all states.)

I was taken to the police station for public drinking. This is the first time I have ever done something like this. I am of legal age. Will this get recorded on my file, and hence affect my future when applying for jobs? I live in Western Australia.

Asked by Daisy about 12 years ago

I have no experience with Austrailian law.

It very well may affect your future employment. All actions have consequences, and the decisions we make - good and bad - will follow us throughout life.

I have a friend who has police officers going around town saying she is a drug addict and that she goes out of town to buy drugs and brings them back to sale. I have known this woman for a long time and this is not true.

Do police officers usually have a time limit to how long they can be "out of service"? What exactly does that mean?

Asked by Ryan almost 12 years ago

Out of service means different things to different agencies. Do you mean off duty? On break? On a call? If you are referring to a break, then yes - a department will likely have some type of policy on that. Each department will be different.
