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 over 10 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.

That depends on your jurisdiction.  You should contact the local prosecutors office and ask them.

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 about 11 years ago

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

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 almost 11 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.

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

Asked by kay almost 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.

In Florida, what is the worst case scenario for getting caught with a fake id (just fake in age) for getting into a club (i.e. a 17 year old with an id saying he's 18)? Can you be arrested? Or does the bouncer take your card?
