Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.

I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.

Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.

What is the California knife regulations

Asked by tray over 11 years ago

I've no idea.  Try Google.

From the perspective of a police officer, does it worry you or calm you to know that some citizens can legally carry firearms? Sure, they can help stop a shooting before the police show up, but should ordinary citizens have the power to end a life?

Asked by Hello almost 12 years ago

Yes - Every citizen is entitled to self-defense, including the use of deadly force when they are in reasonable fear for their life or the life of another person.  What difference does it make if they use a firearm, knife, baseball bat or their own hands/feet?  The difference is that the weak can defend themselves from stronger, younger predators.  No law abiding citizen should be disbarred the use of arms for the defense of themselves and their family.

Asked by josh over 11 years ago

No. Call your cell provider.

And if an officer gave someone a warning, could this be put on a record so if they were pulled over again, the officer would know that they were already warned? Thank you.

Yes.

In a large city, how many sergeants would be based in a particular station? How many at a time would be on duty?

Asked by Writer23 about 12 years ago

It is impossible to say.  A department will generally have guidelines regarding manpower as it relates to the call volume or work load of each unit.

well my son is 14 i got him a dirt bike i live in nj west new york 07093 is it illigal for him to ride it at the park during summe

Asked by hector almost 12 years ago

I don't know, but NY and NJ sure do like to tell people what to do.  It seems just living is either illegal or nearly taxed to death in those states.  You should probably check with the local jurisdiction.
