Is it legal to conceal carry a telescopic baton in Maryland? Baton is a loose label and doesn't seem to be categorized as a dangerous or deadly weapon. As long as it isn't carried with intent to harm my understand is it should be legal.

You should contact a Maryland police department for information.

What would the cops do if a teenager beat another teenager with a baseball bat in broad daylight, with a nearby security guard as a witness to the crime?

Asked by Jessie about 11 years ago

It depends on what the investigation revealed. Was it an assault or self-defense? Since I was not there and did not conduct the investigation, it is impossible for me to say what the best action should be for the officers to take.

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 almost 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.

School record - probably. If you were charged with something, then criminal record - yes.

I became aware of my husband drinking and driving. I have told him that when I am aware that he is doing this, I will report him (and his car license plate) to the police. He is in denial of his problem. Will I be taken seriously?

Asked by momof3 over 11 years ago

If you are asking will your husband take you seriously, I don't know. Probably not. It sounds like he has a lack of regard for the safety of himself and others. Anything you say is unlikely to get him to change his behavior.

If you are asking will the police dispatcher take you seriously, of course they will.

Hello Bluesheepdog,
My question is: if I see children in a vehicle at the parking lot, is that something I can report on the emergency line? I don't agree with it, but uncertain if it is a cause the police is concerned about.

Asked by Irene Judith Hernandez almost 11 years ago

If children are in danger, please call the emergency line.

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 almost 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.
