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.

What is your opinion about video games that allow the player to harm police officers (Grand Theft Auto, Watch_Dogs, etc.)? Keep in mind that the player is not obligated to harm the police and can finish the game without touching a single officer.

The glorification of violence is an unfortunate situation in modern society.  It desensitizes and dehumanizes people.  Marketing such games to children is abhorrent.

What offense or violation would land someone only a 3 month sentence in prison maximum? One of my friends says he went to jail for 3 months but when we ask what he did, silence. I think he's lying. Help a gal win a bet here. Thanks. :-)

Any misdemeanor offense can carry a penalty of three months.  So, pretty much anything from driving with a suspended license to shoplifting to punching his wife.

After a suspect is questioned and released from a police station, how does that suspect(s) get back home or to their car if it's parked at another location? Call a taxi or does a Police Officer drive them back to where they need to go? Thank You

Asked by edwurd about 11 years ago

Any of the above.  It could be anything that is reasonable.  Sometimes a suspect will not want to be seen in a police car (looks like a snitch) and will prefer to walk.  Other times a family member might pick them up.
