Cheri, you are absolutely right but kind of prove my point. Part of protecting the public is to be out and about in your assigned area, even if parked. For example, the District I work in is divided up in to 6 sectors (we call them posts here). If I am parked within my area or close by, I am...

But how come people do not get pissed of when the mailman is sitting there doing something, or the Comcast Cable guy. Thats kind of the point I was trying to make...what makes police different or have to be to a different standard? Lets say I come to your house because of a burglary and I take...

I will look up the exact statute when I get the chance but to prove my point to you. Police officer is driving 50mph. A car is speeding at 65mph. Are you saying the officer cannot speed up to pace or to stop that violator? It does not constitute and emergency situation. Its minor traffic law...

Actually, under state law (here in MD anyway), police do not have to follow traffic laws...only required to drive what is reasonable and prudent. The officer is responsible for anything bad that could occur and is up the creek if found that his actions were not reasonable and prudent. Most...

How do you know that his specific purpose was to just get through the light. I have deactivated my equipment before when there is no traffic and turned it back on when approaching traffic...and turn it off again after I pass. Some of examples of when this can happen. An in progress crime...

I agree with you...my point was people seem to think all cops get off scott free and they dont...and their punishment is often worse than what one would expect. I was not defending the officer in my post...and thats why I was curious what his punishment was.

There are also some CMS (Content Management Systems) out there if your web host supports them. One of my favorites is Joomla. There are also a ton of templates that can be installed for good looking sites. It takes a bit to learn a CMS but once you start to understand how things work, you can...

The families probably thought their loved ones were buried. There was a funeral home (Florida, I think) that was disposing of bodies instead of burying them properly. I remember watching the footage of them recovering numerous remains off of the property. It was a huge scam and I would have to...

Who knows...I've heard that a bunch of times. I wonder what the discipline was. Contrary to what some believe, officers DO get in trouble when mistakes are made. Oftentimes an officers punshipment is greater than that of a civilian. The officer could have lost days of vacation time, lost days...

The problem is people may not always be a danger to themselves or others. Some can regularly take medications and they are fine most of the time and the medication can fail at other times. Additionally, people who are successful with medications will eventually believe they are fine without...

I started with google but could not find what I was looking for. I found a lot of terps that were pretty far away, a lot of ASL students who aren't terps, etc. I am in the process of contacting the Hearing and Speech Agency to see if they have anything available.

Can anyone point me towards a resource where I could find a terp for one day...a few hours actually. There is a formal ceremony coming up that I will be a part of and will not be able to sign for Spice. I'd like to find a terp for a few hours so she can come and enjoy the ceremony as well. Any...

911 is best from a hardwired landline phone (phone jack in the wall). This shows the address associated with that landline and the phone company. Cell phones will go off of GPS tracking and how the signal is hitting the towers...and is not always accurate to the address. I've had my cell phone...

How much of this is biased or a type of prejudice vs just plain ignorance? For years now, I have been reading here on AD about how the hearing community treats Deaf. Now that I'm involved in a serious relationship with someone who is Deaf, I am being asked many of the same questions that I...

Just once....but it was A VERY LONG ONE lol.

Sorry for the confusion...not pepper spray like mace or what the cops carry. Its a pepper formula sprayed on the ground and foilage to deter the skunks (and other animals) from making a habitat of your home. Many lawn and garden stores carry it. There are also other sprays and such available for...

The best do it yourself method is to make life miserable for the skunk. Put out flood lights temporarily. Skunks hate lights and will stop hiding in that dark spot if you light it up a little. If you can afford to, get a motion detector for the light so it comes on only when he is around...

John, It all depends on the agency. It takes awhile to go from a patrol officer and make their way up through the ranks. In my agency, most detectives have several years on...typically 5+ before moved over to detective. The larger the agency (such as NYPD) offers many more opportunities so it...

Calvin, Thank You for starting this thread. It amazes me how quickly time passes. Its been 3 years but seems like only yesterday she was with us.
