I watch some of these movies, and its always like this:

1 or more cops working on something, cop screws up really bad while trying to do the right thing,
ends up losing his badge or even his job. (Ex-)Cop then goes out on his own at them with a gun,
possibly shoots a bunch of people, and saves the day. Cop is then reinstated with honors. Movie ends.

How unrealistic is this? Im guessing he would be locked up with the guys he just caught?

how often did you pretend like you were trying to catch speeders but really just kick it in your cruiser?

Brent did this once, he was re-instated. But no, I don't ever see that happening.

Not at all; I now drive an unmarked car and work in plain clothes so I pretty much just drive a little over the speed limit as not to draw attention to myself.

how do you keep your vest from smelling like football or hockey pads, i know you've got to sweat your balls of in it during the summer

You just wash the carrier and wipe down the plates.

how hard is police academy and do yall hate state troopers

3/8/2013 1:15:03 AM

Not hard at all. I went through BLET right after nc state so the written exams were a piece if cake. I'd imagine if it had been a few years might have been worse. Need to be in ok if not decent shape. Nothing you can't get ready for in a few months. Just gotta have the right frame of mind. BLET gives you basic and I do mean BASIC knowledge of being a cop but doesn't prepare you for the crazy shit you see out there.

for someone looking to go into law enforcement, is there supplemental training you would recommend, or is there a lot of "on the job" type training?

3/8/2013 6:30:47 AM

will they let me be a cop if i answer yes to the follow questions on my lie detector test...


A) smoked drugs
B) snorted drugs
C) sold drugs
D) paid for sex
E) been arrested, now expunged
F) watch porn

Do you think this idea would work?

Just depends; some of the academies put on by the community colleges are very para-military and some are like college. The ones put on by the State are mostly para-military and live-in with varying degrees of difficulty and length.

As far as Troopers, like people, there are some who will treat you like they are your best friend (majority) and some who that meet the stereotype(s).

"for someone looking to go into law enforcement, is there supplemental training you would recommend, or is there a lot of "on the job" type training?"

Depends on the type of law enforcement you are looking to get into. If you are looking to do patrol type work, a college education and clean(er) background will suffice; I was hired right out of college.

There are a lot of mission specific agencies that require certain degrees or advanced degrees in computer science, accounting, biological science (i.e. chemistry) or language skills. Just do your homework.

C) No

E) case by case
F)

i assume that LEOs outside their jurisdiction have no ability to pull you over, correct?

for example, i had an officer in a marked charger (with "police" visible in the rearview) behind me for quite a while on the backroads in raleigh (not to imply that he was following me, he was just there for long time and it seemed weird that he was making the same turns on small roads that i was)

i eventually got to where i was going and he went past and i noticed the side of his car said "raleigh-durham international airport police"

his front and back only had "police" on it, though, so if he was behind you or in front, he'd appear to be a "regular" city cop

but it got me thinking...if you're in raleigh and a garner cop is behind you and you're speeding or something, they best they can do is report it, but they can't actually pull you over...right?

3/8/2013 8:49:13 AM

yes

Is it illegal to have green/red/yellow lights fisible from the front of your car?

Fissile materials are illegal

Correct unless they are operating under a mutual aid agreement. For example, you might see a Wake County car working interdiction on I-95 in Harnett County under such an agreement.

No red lights unless you meet the exemption criteria; those other colors can't be used as your headlamps but you could have them equipped.

Do cops have this many problems with open mics on a day to day basis?

4/19/2013 7:24:02 PM

No. Time is on your side. Whoever is in the boat is not a threat and does not have a hostage (as far as we can tell). Take your time.

Huh? Where does it say that?

4/19/2013 7:38:55 PM

Its not that its not allowed, they were just asked not to share tactical info and no one wants to break that

if I were CNN, I'd stream the ustream scanner and add in subtitles

Can I refuse to give the cop my license and registration if he won't tell me why he is pulling me over? Doesn't he have to tell what crime he suspects me of committing?

4/20/2013 7:35:37 AM

I can tell you that you can not refuse to provide your ID to a police officer if you are driving. Same for registration, because these are required to drive the car. Not having them is an offense in and of itself.

I've always thought the best way to establish a friendly relationship with the officer is to immediately question what he is doing and refuse to even identify myself.

10-100

^^It would be a city ordinance; and any violation of a city ordinance is a misdemeanor.

4/28/2013 8:26:34 PM

Why do the police give out tickets they willingly admit "will get dismissed"?

4/28/2013 8:35:22 PM

Ensure compliance; if I give you a warning every single time I stop you for an expired registration, why ever re-new it?
