Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.

I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.

I am writing a screenplay and I have a few questions:

1. Can a suspect of a murder case that took place 4 years earlier, look at the crime scene photos & the crime scene evidence?

Thanks in advance

Asked by Edwurd over 11 years ago

If the case is still open (unsolved), no.  A detective may show some piece of evidence or a photo of the crime scene to the suspect during an interview to get some type of response or information about the crime.  Other than that, no one outside of the officers working the case, medical examiner and prosecutor are looking at the evidence.

i live in oregon and im 17 , im kinda shy so this is a big step for me. if i run away from home, now , will i get into legal trouble? will they send me home? back to the place i want to leave?

Asked by derika over 11 years ago

If you are not an adult, you have to obey your parents.  If you leave without permission, you can be detained, returned to your parents or taken to a juvenile detention facility (jail).

Hello, I was wondering if over a year ago while being broken up with I told my girlfriend I was gona stab myself and she called 911 and I willingly went to hospitol slept off my drunkines and went home if that would disqualify me from becoming a cop?

Asked by TCA over 11 years ago

Probably.

My former boss loaned me her vehicle so I could watch her children for a few months. They recently got into daycare. She threatened me through text that she would report it stolen since I wouldnt watch her kids Monday due to illness. Is that illegal?

Asked by Deidre almost 12 years ago

Sounds like you probably should return the car and find a new friend.

my jewelry was stolen and pawned. detective retrieved it. i didn't see it. 5 weeks later i ask to see it. first told i couldn't see it. then when he brought it out i was told i couldn't touch it. is that true?

Asked by suzan over 11 years ago

I don't know. You are the one telling the story. I'll assume you are telling the truth.

I'm not sure if you're still interested in answering questions, but what's the procedure if a police officer pulls over a car and has to arrest multiple people? Would you call for backup or try to handle four hefty lawbreakers on your own?

Asked by ImaginaryNinja over 11 years ago

If backup is available, only a fool would try to arrest more than one person at a time.  Even with only one suspect, it is foolish to try to make an arrest without assistance.  This all assumes that there is not an emergency requiring immediate action and that the officer isn't working alone in a remote area.

if me and my man break up do i haved to give him the phone he gave me as a gift back????
