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 almost 12 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.

Are there procedures that police officers use that are wrong according to their training (not "textbook" perfect) but are still used because they are more convenient and/or make more sense?

Asked by Jes almost 12 years ago

Nothing in reality is ever textbook perfect. There are too many variables in every investigation and interaction. Also, criminals rarely cooperate.

I went to pray over the homes that burnt down last summer and there was a no trespassing sign but the gate was open so I drove 20 feet past the sign and turned around but the sign said I will be fined and my picture was taken. What will happen?

Do unmarked cars usually have a way of showing that they are the police without full emergency lights? (For example, if they want people to see them if they need help.) Also, are there common instances where something like this is used?

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

Are police officers trained in emergency vehicle driving as part of their academy training? Or are they only trained if they will be driving a police car?

Asked by Jet almost 12 years ago

I would imagine most states require police officers to receive emergency vehicle operation training in the academy.

What do you do when parents don't allow young adults over 21 to go out with others? Is there any restraining order which forces parents to allow young adults to have freedom?

Ask me a serious question.

If you are an adult - move out of your parents' home. Get a job and make your own way in life.
