It's 21 to be a cop but only 20 to join the academy. Also there is no intelligence test but you do have to take tests on the law and if you're too dumb you probably won't be able to pass all of those. I'm not sure what you're referring to as the "military branches" of the police force. The...

The only problem I have with this is what if I'm not texting, I'm just using my phone for google maps? I use google maps on my smartphone instead of having to spend hundreds of dollars on an extra gadget that does the same thing. I'd be pissed if I had to pay for a gps unit that's literally just...

Technically not, but I wish it did count. You should go see the vet about it anyways. There are medications that can help with incontinence, and this might just be a symptom of something worse so it's good to get it checked out! If all else fails though, they make diapers for dogs! So you could...

I like protein powder! I put a scoop of whey protein powder in my coffee instead of creamer or milk every morning. The protein fills me up and gives me extra energy on top of the caffeine. They have lots of good flavors like cheesecake and chocolate chip if you look around that can make some...

What the heck? The father knew THE WHOLE TIME yet he never reported her for animal cruelty? I mean, even if he didn't much care about animals, it would have helped him in his bid to get custody of her daughter. I just don't get why he wouldn't think the whole "bestiality thing" would be worth...

When I was 2 years old I stole a keychain from the Cracker Barrel that my mom said she wouldn't buy for me. When we got back in the car I pulled it out of my pull-ups (lol) and started playing with it. My mom turned around the car and made me bring back the keychain and apologize to the cashier...

I think it's unfair to blame an increase in addicts on the police departments. Drug abuse is first and foremost a social problem. People either don't think drugs are a big deal, or they just see $$$ when they look at them. We need better drug education and more legitimate job opportunities in...

I used to live in Hawaii and when I first moved there I jaywalked. I'm from a larger city than Honolulu and still no one takes jaywalking laws seriously. But I guess they have SUCH a problem with tourists jaywalking and getting hit by cars that they actually started enforcing jaywalking laws...

I agree with the people saying they shouldn't be allowed to take them home. If something happens when they'e off the clock, then they can call the police just like the rest of us. I don't like that my taxes are going towards all these off-duty cops killing black people. If a cop uses his gun, I...

Re: What are offenses or crimes an officer "can" commit before he's removed from duty I think it's ridiculous that officers get 3 "strikes" before anything happens to them, but us average citizens get thrown in jail after the first "strike". Police should not be immune to the law. I understand...

Oh my gosh. Why am I not even surprised though? What sis the audio recording from the dashboard show that ended up getting the officer arrested? He must have said some real racist stuff. Do you have any links to the story or the audio recording? I'd love to know more.

The saddest part about this is that someone hacked the kids snapchat or phone or whatever account and now, apparently, the picture is still out there floating around. So not only did this poor kid and his family have to deal with the extreme irreverence of the original "selfie" taken with his...

I think many people in high stress jobs experience burn out, and to a lesser extent, nervous breakdowns. You'll find many people in high stress jobs with high safety risks (and especially if there's also not enough pay) will become disillusioned and permanently frustrated with life-in-general...

I know a guy who flipped off a cop that was sitting in an area well known for being a speed trap, and he flipped the cop off, and the cop pulled him over for "improperly making a hand signal" lol. I was like, dude that's the EASIEST you could have ever gotten off and THAT'S HILARIOUS! I mean...

I'm of the opinion that the adult brain doesn't mature until 15, so I truly believe there should be reduced sentencing for people under that age. I also believe that IN GENERAL, our legal system should be more focused on offering recovery and rehabilitation therapies instead of just punishments...

I think the hardest part about working out is motivating yourself to get to the gym. So I DEFINITELY prefer working out at home. I use an elliptical machine and free weights of various #s of lbs. There's really not many muscles you can work out at the gym that you can't work out at home! Lazy...

Well I think walking down the street is one thing, you're in public. But the fear is about when cops respond to calls within people's houses. We ALL do things in our houses we wouldn't want video taped ;) God, and just imagine, what if someone figures out how to hack wherever these videos are...

Oh yes, I totally agree. I never meant that obese cops should be straight up fired. I definitely think they should be able to have desk jobs or surveillance or some such other job that would not be too physically hard for them. And they should be given the chance to re-take the physical whenever...

As I've heard it discussed, the officer WOULD have the power to switch his camera on and off depending on the situation. I believe there was talk of "minimum hours" of it being on required, but other than that they are pretty much free to turn it on and off at will. I think having the cameras...

It's possible that someone could need medical marijuana and not be too ill to work the majority of the time. People with say, a pinched nerve, might have it only act up for a few days per month. I think we can all agree that police officers should be drug tested regularly. We don't want people...
