I'm not sure if there is a question in there. However, you have not described anything criminal. Law enforcement does not investigate civil issues.

If you are not an adult, you have to obey your parents. If you leave without permission, you can be detained, returned to your parents or taken to a juvenile detention facility (jail).

My former boss loaned me her vehicle so I could watch her children for a few months. They recently got into daycare. She threatened me through text that she would report it stolen since I wouldnt watch her kids Monday due to illness. Is that illegal?

Asked by Deidre over 12 years ago

Sounds like you probably should return the car and find a new friend.

What should I do if I hear that kids my age (13) have drank shots and so have their friends? I think their parents supplied the vodka. I don't know if I have the confidence or sufficient evidence to report them. (To be continued)

Do venues you rent express concern about a higher risk of violence because it's a rap concert?

I'm not sure if you're still interested in answering questions, but what's the procedure if a police officer pulls over a car and has to arrest multiple people? Would you call for backup or try to handle four hefty lawbreakers on your own?

Asked by ImaginaryNinja almost 12 years ago

If backup is available, only a fool would try to arrest more than one person at a time. Even with only one suspect, it is foolish to try to make an arrest without assistance. This all assumes that there is not an emergency requiring immediate action and that the officer isn't working alone in a remote area.

so my dad took my cell phone that I bought myself and he wont give it back to me I was talking to my girlfriend and that's why he took it away can I call the cops on him im 17

Asked by nicholas about 12 years ago

You are a child. Your father has excercised reasonable discipline. If you call the police for this, you are the only person who runs the risk of being charged with anything (false report of a crime.)

Sounds like you've got a lot of growing up to do.

Hello officer. I am a juvenile (17) who will be 18 in june. Yesterday, I got cut by a mustang while driving... and I began to follow her. After 5 minutes, we both came to a walmart, and she called the cops. I am being charged with stalking? why?

Asked by Gus about 12 years ago

Since I was not there, nor did I conduct an investigation in the incident, I don't know what the probable cause was for your charge.

However, I suspect it might have something to do with your statement "and I began to follow her."

Getting angry about some perceived slight while driving, and then chasing the woman, is likely the source of your problems.
