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.

When cops do prostitution stings, are the arrests always made on the spot? How likely are police to make arrests if the act isn't witnessed in a sting type operation? Been watching a lot of dateline predator stories and the topic never comes up.

Asked by notacop almost 11 years ago

Police officers are not required to arrest someone at the time of the crime.  People can be arrested after the crime has been committed.

I need to talk to a cop not to submit a crime but to see if this is a crime or to much punishment for my age.

Do the police handle illegal sites, videos on the internet? If so why are there so many sites and videos still up? Is there anything that I can do to stop these things from happening?

Asked by Azzy almost 11 years ago

Yes, law enforcement addresses illegal activity on the internet.  Jurisdiction is often the largest problem for these cases.  For example, a police officer in the United States cannot prosecute someone who is outside of the USA.

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?

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

I am considering going into law enforcement but i want to get a tattoo on my upper arm. If it it slightly visible when wearing short sleeve shirts would it effect me getting a job?

1. Why are ethics and character so important in the field of law enforcement?

Asked by kay about 11 years ago

I hope you are not planning a career in law enforcement.  Even the lowest of ethical standards require you to do your own homework.
