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.

My friend was the designated driver, driving someone else's car. She was pulled over and given a ticket for impeding traffic because the brights were on without her knowledge. Can she fight this ticket and win?

Asked by Emily over 12 years ago

I don't know.  She should probably contact an attorney.

Ok.

Can a Doorman refuse to let a police officer in a building if he does not provide a search warrant or some kind of document?

Asked by joe louis over 11 years ago

It depends on the circumstances. For example, if police received a 911 call from a building and the doorman tried to block the officers' entry, he would be arrested for obstruction.

My dad sold all of my things that he bought for me 4 years ago without my permission. Can I file a police report against him?

Asked by Joshua Raketich about 12 years ago

Maybe.  Are you an adult and can you show the property in dispute was clearly owned by you?  There are too many factors for me to make any kind of determination on what you might be able to do.  Why don't you got talk to a local police officer?

I want join the police academy within the year. I have two concerns; I have epilepsy. It's well controlled with medication and I haven't had a seizure in a year+. I also have a poor driving record. 4 car accidents I have caused. Will this prevent me?

Asked by Justin over 11 years ago

Probably. I'd suggest looking for something related to law enforcement (if that's what you want to do) that does not include driving or the carrying of arms.

So I see a lot of videos on YouTube that are recordings of police officers. Apparently this is legal. Would someone recording you make you a little uncomfortable even if you were acting according to the law? Thanks

Asked by In about 12 years ago

Never bothered me.  

I think I only had to say something to someone once who was recording me.  In that case a pedestrian had been struck by a car and was laying in the road.  The pedestrian was significantly injured.  Some idiot decided he wanted to film the injured person and me.  While distasteful, it isn't illegal.  However, when the cell phone video superstar was standing in the roadway blocking the ambulance crew from getting to the injured party, I was happy to escort him to the sidewalk.
