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.

If someone has an inappropriate video of you, can they get in trouble?

Asked by Devina about 11 years ago

It depends. Call your local police department and ask for their assistance. They will know what to do.

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.

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 almost 12 years ago

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

Is calling someone fake on Instagram a form of cyber bulling? Or a donkey?

Asked by Kennedi over 11 years ago

I'm not about to make a judgement call on what is or is not a violation of some state's laws on cyber bullying.  However, I would encourage you and everyone else to (1) ignore other people's hurtful words and (2) if you don't have anything nice to say, say nothing.

Hello, I was wondering about the illegal weapons in NY? Is a Sai illegal in New York State?

Asked by Collin almost 12 years ago

I don't know.  I'd guess yes for the city of NY, and probably for the rest of the state.  NY dislikes armed citizens who can defend themselves.

Can the police stop cars with young kids in the front seat to tell them that it is not safe even though in NYS it is not illegal? This is a major problem where I live. Kids as young as 6 commonly sit in the front seat.

Asked by Jo over 11 years ago

No.  A police officer may not forcibly detain someone without reasonable suspicion of an illegal act.  

Your example would be akin to police officers stopping someone because they had a Big Mac and you believe fast food isn't healthy.  Police officers have enough to do just enforcing criminal laws.  They should not play nanny too.
