    Dashcam Video Of Handcuffed Woman Leading Police On Chase

    If not drugs, then what the hell had to go through your head to even think to yourself for one minute you can escape in a cruiser? Or for that matter, get free at all? When they can place barricades and funnel you into wherever they would want you to go. It's just never, ever, wise to run. You...

    Personal opinion on marijuana?

    I loved it once. Even if it is illegal, there are many more "legal" killers out there. Plus, it grows naturally on our planet and has to have nothing else added to it. This to me means it's no different than tobacco is. The government is just too scared to deal with the legalization and...

    Fake cop pulls over real cop, police say

    Not only that, but if they were willing to impersonate an officer what's next? Who's to tell what that could potentially transform into.

    Police Shows

    Cop shows? Probably dangerous criminals caught on tape, or Police Chases caught on Dash cams. Shows like that, that don't emphasize what cops does - they over dramatize most events and even glorify some unnecessarily. These other shows which just show cameras are not doctored, they are what...

    Do You Work Too Much?

    I don't have a job, but this making money online is taking up a lot of my day. I also have turned friends down to keep working as work pops up because I'm afraid other people will get the points before I do, thus losing money. I never take a full day off because most of my day is mine anyways...

    Woman slashes her children's throats to quiet them, police say

    Whoa. That is F'ed up man. I just read that whole article and that mother....she's a frickin' whackjob. I can't believe people like this do stuff like this and then call on themselves trying to make it look better. It just makes you look more crazy.

    Throwing up in a police car

    I would hope it is cleaned by professionals. I got the weirdest (and funniest) image of a cop trying to clean his backseat after a drunkard puked in it and he pukes more and adds to the mess. Funny stuff. Barring that, I'd imagine you could always tell them ahead of time you need to pull over...

    Can Retired Officers Enforce The Law?

    I would like to know about this myself, I've had plenty of times of this happening to my friends in real life. What they will do and what they should do are two different things though. Most, being retired will try to stop and then phone in. But the reverse order is actually what should go on...

    If you had no priors and were caught stealing....

    I guess at least it isn't committing suicide or killing people, so there are worse things. But still, we never want to see people steal things as "a right of passage" - that notion is born from the fact the young don't have the money to afford things but they see everyone getting them and just...

    Friends in the academy: Helpful or distraction?

    You don't need to (and shouldn't always) rely on yourself and only yourself to pass even a trial meant for one person. You're never working alone generally, having a partner or a radio for call in for backup. All of those people may have been friends you had, which means they'd be all over the...

    Have you ever been in a physical fight?

    The only other time I can recall was in highschool. I was the fat nerdy kid (still kind of am, just less fat) that the rednecks love to torture, and especially when they had a friend. Whenever they'd pass me in the hall they'd purposely slam into me or say comments as I walked by. One day, I can...

    Funniest things you have heard a Police Officer Say

    "We live in an age where Pizza gets to your house before the Police - So are they free?" Cop says to a guy, "Alchohol and Drugs, Sir?" Man responds, "Nope. Got em all right here."

    What is done with illegal drugs?

    I'm more apt to believe this myself. Corruption abounds everywhere, especially with dips in economy and everyone is feeling a tight strain. Even foreign countries. (I'm in the USA) However, the more likely explanation is that they find themselves in is that some of those drugs may even be...

    Personal Cameras on each unit?

    I was just reading up on some articles here (Denver police chief wants to outfit 800 units with cameras) I feel this a very SMART idea. This would give a completely neutral and unbiased stand point. If instead of Dash-cams, you could equip on a per-unit basis and it would deliver up-to-date...

    Do you think that no contest plea is worthless?

    I was going to type almost the same exact sentence. Not only should both not be eliminated, it would make an unfair system (Guilty until Proven Innocent, don't tell me otherwise!) even that more unfair. Sometimes people genuinely do deserve the benefit of the doubt. As to the original post...

    Friends in the academy: Helpful or distraction?

    I would think that it would help. As was mentioned, it's not a competition. It's a single-trial. And what do trials have in common? They unite people going through similar experiences. I think this is no different in a police academy. You need friends no matter where you are. No matter the...

    Have you ever been in a physical fight?

    I got into a fight where the cops got called and were forced to break me and another person up. They were trying to steal and hurt my family, so I got down and dirty. I won't say I won or crushed him, as the cops broke it up. But I was fighting for what I believed was right. And we both ended up...

    Hello :)

    Welcome indeed. And what Steve said. Also, I think I've seen you on some other forums, so it's nice to get more background on ya. My Grandfather served in the Navy, but I remember his days well on the force in town before that. He had a bunch of photos. I'll see if I can't get my hands on some...

    Your cell phone could be subpoena'd

    Any media could technically be Subpoena'd if it helps (or doesn't) in the cases involving law enforcement. I've seen an equal number of videos of policemen in our forces telling people to shut off their media or it will be taken, but doesn't that infringe upon our rights? I believe we have a...

    In any circumstance can you defend yourself against police brutality?

    It's very true, a lot of time people say people who got it "were asking" for it. But sometimes, the police on the other end can read into things that aren't there generating even more problems then they're helping solve. This is what builds animosity to begin with. Then you get an event of this...
