I imagine that all law enforcement personnel have dash cams in the car now. Whether the officer operating the vehicle has the ability to turn them on and off I don't know. I know our city cops cannot. The dash cam runs automatically and it can be viewed remotely.

The above varies by state, actually. You can be hired with no training whatsoever and train through the department only, at least in my state. They do however require you to become POST certified within 6 months of your hire date, and that involves a couple of weeks of training classes. If you...

Just Google audio surveillance equipment and I am sure that you can find all that you want to know. There is certainly equipment that operates just like what you see "in the movies" and I am sure that law enforcement has much better equipment than what I was able to find in a matter of seconds...

I like tea, but I LOVE coffee. It is a necessary part of my day particularly if you prefer for me to be conscious for at least some of it. I have two small kids and I work from home and try to keep the house from falling apart. This often entails getting much less sleep than I would want so...

I agree with you there. Women who haven't been properly trained and aren't comfortable shouldn't carry daily, although they still might want to consider a shotgun for home defense, particularly if they live alone. One of the first things they teach you about guns if you take a self defense...

Officers in most areas work twelve hour shifts, and no they do not get holidays off. You may serve on the police force for years and years before you actually get a holiday off. The holidays are some of the busiest days for police officers and law enforcement.

Every law enforcement agency in the world uses racial profiling and it would be hard not too. When you first see a person your brain is immediately going to tell you okay this is a white man, black man, Hispanic man. Does it always work? Is it always "fair"? No, but it is part of the job.

Minimum age is probably 21 for most states and there are a lot of things that are taught, but some of it will of course vary by state. Constitutional law, state and local laws, apprehension of a suspect, and police procedure are just a few of the things that are taught.

Not so much at the station but out in public you have to keep in mind that they may have just gotten off a bad call. Police officers see some really terrible stuff from car accidents to murdered children and you can't really expect them to be happy and chipper all of the time.

I actually know someone who met their spouse this way so it does work, at least occasionally. I can definitely see it working better for women on a male officer than it does for a male on a female officer.

Yep, that is considered assault and it should be. Just because someone spat at someone and it didn't land on them doesn't mean that that wasn't their intent. By spitting in their direction you are showing intent so whether you make it or not it is assault.

No, I haven't and I haven't had any need to because I have had very little contact with law enforcement. I think encouraging people to film them for no good reason is rather irresponsible.

I think that all women should be encouraged to be armed. I have my concealed carry license and carry my trusty Glock 19 every time I set foot out of the house. I also carry a pocket knife with me everywhere I go.

I don't think the news is anything new, it is just now we are pummeled with it 24/7. I don't think that we are doomed, but it would be really nice if people would make an effort to treat their fellow man a little better.

Well, I am in Georgia and here it runs just a little over $3000. I know that you can use financial aid and payment programs to pay for it though. Good luck to you no matter which choice you make!

Well apparently this guy is especially stupid, at least I hope this level of stupidity is not the norm. I'll bet if the officers had checked his car that would have found more and he would have been in even more trouble.

We are going to spend the holiday alone. We did the whole family thing for Thanksgiving and it just didn't go well or pleasantly for anyone involved so we are going to celebrate at the house with our family.

This guy really needs some help! I know everyone has their problems and little things can set you off, but there is never cause to beat another human being over a cup of coffee.

I really don't think about exposing myself on forums too much. I mean, being able to open up, pretty much anonymously is kind of the point to me. I don't plan on posting my address or pictures of my kids or anything, bit I think for the most part you are safe in forums.

Do they have the potential to turn violent like Ferguson? Absolutely. So far though people seem to be controlling themselves. I don't think that either of these situations is going to go away anytime soon though. If there are any more incidents like eithe rof these, this country may have a...
