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.

Can I get into trouble or arrested for saying "fuck you" or "go fuck yourself" to a cop over the phone?

Asked by Neis almost 12 years ago

It depends on the circumstances.

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.

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.

I am considering purchasing a collapsible baton purely for self defense, it is however illegal in the state I live in, how strict will local police officers be if I carry this?

Asked by Aron almost 12 years ago

If it is a crime for you to carry the baton, then I would expect that you would be arrested.

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 12 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.
