What Marius just said is the long and short of it. Additionally, try to look at it this way. We elect officials, who, in turn, appoint more officials and so on and so forth. When a governing body is elected, it is also implied that the public it serves has given consent to govern in the manner the o...

The law allows you to resist an unlawful arrest. This would even apply to an illegal use of deadly force by a police officer. However, since your average citizen doesn't have a clue as to what their actual rights are, I do not advocate resisting arrest. If you resist arrest, right or wrong, you're g...

Marius: 1st - We could go on for hours about this issue if we want to play a game based on semantics. Whatever legal department you have access to, I would assume, has attorneys, or soon-to-be-attorneys. Attorneys get paid to debate and argue over semantics. They told you that private citizens under...

Marius: In practice, /anybody/ can search and seize. But the constitutional limitations to search and seizure rules apply to /governmental/ intrusions into a person's rights. A private citizen does not need a warrant to do a search and seizure, nor would one be signed by a judge. As I said before, i...

Psykoguy: You're talking about the scope of a search. What you say is true to a small point. If I write a search warrant looking for pirated software, the warrant authorizes me to look in any place that pirated software is likely to be. So, if I walk in and start looking in the computer for the pira...

Constitutionally speaking, you do not have an expressed right to privacy. However, the Fourth Amendment does protect someone against unreasonable searches and seizures. Search and Seizure law only applies to /governmental/ intrusion. Therefore, the 4th Amendment does not protect you against your nei...

Since SeriousPaul is a Corrections Officer, and I am a Police Officer, we're probably going to have similar views, but here are mine: There are many problems with the Justice System in the United States, and capital punishment is only one of them. I agree with the concept of the death penalty, but n...

We couldn't locate any of her family...she claimed she didn't have any, except in Ohio and Louisiana. It is unlikely that there is nobody near the Detroit area that doesn't look after her. It's one of the first things we check for when dealing with the elderly, but sometimes we can't find anybody to...

Smell is out of my nose, but still on my hands...not sure about the squad car. I don't have to work the next 3 days, but I'll hear about it when I get back if it still smells. Incidentally, when I said 'delusional,' I meant she was suffering from dementia. I knew what I wanted to say, but couldn't t...

This job really sucks sometimes -- TRUE STORY!
I work in Law Enforcement (let the flames begin), which some of you already know. Last night I assist another officer with a traffic stop. The woman my partner stopped is elderly, very delusional, lost, driving the wrong way on a divided roadway and at least 1.5 hours from home at 1:30 am local time...

I believe this loophole exists, but remember, you'll have to find a way around the normal monthly service charge of a cell phone, plus (and I recommend this) unlimited talk time fees (some c-phone companies do allow unlimited incoming airtime). Average monthly fees of the cellphone are going to run ...
