    Do people act different on the show cops than normal?

    Well, when I saw the show they filmed in Cleveland, it seemed just about right. That's how people act and they got a case from all different types of Cleveland's "finest." I'm sure some people act up for the cameras, it just seems inevitable, but they have lots of footage to choose from and I...

    In any circumstance can you defend yourself against police brutality?

    It's very rare anymore that a person can win a self-defense case against another person let alone against a police officer. I see most often that both people involved in a fight catch charges with the person defending catching a lesser offense. More police forces are getting body cameras and...

    Do you believe your local police earn their paychecks?

    Keeping the streets clean is a two way street. This means that the people that live in the community need to be proactive and unafraid to speak up when crimes occur. This can be hard when some areas are controlled by violent gangs that threaten your family if you speak to the police. I do think...

    Are police officers allowed to look up family members?

    If I were a police officer and I was allowed to look people up, I'd be investigating my dysfunctional family all day long. Well, I'd be mostly looking up my dad's side because they are so colorful and mysterious. I do want to know what the rule of thumb is on this though.

    Police Chief Shots Wife

    If it was under his pillow, I could see them getting him on something like negligent homicide. However, I don't think all the details have come out on this yet. I saw a video the other day of a police office and his wife in an elevator. Officer went to get something out of his pocket and the gun...

    What are you doing right now?

    Very interesting thread topic! Well, I just got back from driving my daughter down to visitation with her dad. Four hours driving in total. I am hurting pretty badly, so I took a hot shower and took out the dog. I ate my burrito and took my night meds. I am now laying under my big comforter in...

    Do you get paranoid writing on forums?

    I don't have too much to hide, so I'm not to paranoid about opening up on forums. I'm the same person on forums that I am in real life, so here I am. I give out minimal personal information that could get me a stalker, but I also have a big boyfriend, a crazy protective dog, friendly local...

    Can you speak other languages?

    I took four years of French in high school and can still speak and read it for the most part. I good German in college. I know a small amount of conversation Japanese from my college roommate who was from Tokyo. I also know some conversational Spanish because my daughter is learning Spanish, so...

    Do you believe your local police earn their paychecks?

    I personally feel our town is considered one of the safest suburbs to live in because we have a well staffed police force that takes their jobs very seriously. They are present, fair, and courteous. Now, out of towners hate driving through our town because you will get pulled over if you are not...

    Would you turn a loved one in?

    I don't know if you would be an accessory to the crime if you know of them doing a crime. Counselors know of crimes and are not considered accessories. They are only required to report harm to the client or another person. Now, if you still had the items they stole in your home and those sorts...

    When I call 911

    I've never had a 911 operator ask me my name even when they were coming to my house. I've also had to call them for work several times and they have never requested my name. They only requested my location. Sometimes the responding officer will need your name on the scene depending on what the...

    Have/would you call out an officer with a bad attitude?

    I think it would depend on they situation. If it was just obvious that the officer was having a bad day and was in a bad mood, I think I would just make sure I was nice to him and told him to try to enjoy the rest of his day. I think sometimes calling someone out on their bad mood just makes it...

    Wife/husband breaking the law

    If it was a crime that was not hurting another person, I would get that person psychological help. There is obviously a reason why they feel the need to be breaking the law. If they were hurting other people, they would be getting turned in, no doubt about it. I don't play games.

    Why do many police forces around the world not carry guns?

    I know Australia did have a force with weapons during that terror situation. So, I don't think they are completely without lethal means. I think they would have to call it in as back up. I can't imagine being a police officer walking into a situation where the criminal has a gun or a knife. It...

    What "minor" laws do you break?

    Someone used to tell it wasn't littering if you say "opps" when you did it! ha! I grew up out in the country so walking through a neighbors field or woods wasn't too much to think about and they weren't like to be mad. Now, in the city, you don't go scooting through peoples yards. Just the other...

    Do you believe in movie kind of love?

    Oh! Sam this is a very good reply. And it's a little of both. So the answer is a little of both. It's yes and no. Which is what all of us bah humbugs have been trying to say the whole time. Have I told you lately that I like the way you think Sam?

    How often is a cell phone mistaken for a gun?

    I would say if you are worried about it, when you reach down you let the police know you are getting your cell phone to show them some documents. They will either tell you to keep your hands where they are or let you proceed. You cannot be too careful these days when there are plenty of people...

    What "minor" laws do you break?

    I'm fairly sure I have broken a couple minor laws just being the generally absent minded person that I am. I know I have broken the no trespassing law a few times, but I've always known the family and they'd be unlikely to press charges. I'm sure I've taken a smoke break too close to the front...

    January 2015 Top Contributor Monthly Contest

    I was going to say this could turn out to be a very bad thing once people start adding crackpot answers to bring up their count until I saw your last sentence. Looks like you've covered all of you bases! I'm excited!

    Do you see an increase of police activity on New Years Eve?

    I would disappointed if there was not an increase in police activity in my area on New Years Eve. I live on the Cleveland border and downtown is getting to be a hot spot for parties each year. I also live off a strip that has like 12 bar within a mile. I expect that the officers would be extra...
