Yeah, the trick to not testifying in court is not arresting anybody. Also, never become the only Intoximeter operator for the shift or you will get called in on your day off by rear end in a top hat lawyers who don't have any questions for you, they just want to see if you are going to show up.

isn't this why a bunch of people will elect to go to court? just in hopes that the officer won't show?

a question about speeding tickets (or really any ticket that will get you points on your license). a guy posted a thread in AI a while back talking about how he has gotten out of a bunch of speeding tickets. he still pays a fine, but the points get dropped. he basically requests a court date and i guess strikes a plea that he will pay the fine and not waste time with court if they will just keep points off his license. this might be something i made up when really stoned, but it was something.

any truth to that? i guess you don't have to answer but if you don't answer we are gonna know anyway. like "do you have aids?" "i'm not gonna answer that." p. sure you got aids.

Given the ability to employ communications and teamwork, the (theoretical) lone knife wielder would be extremely susceptible to being sucker-tazed/beanbagged/tackled from another officer while they are raving/raving/whatever at the officer occupying their attention. This is (minus the tazing/beanbags) what we were forced to do at the psych facility when an agitated resident was threatening (with or without some manner of makeshift weapon in hand).

It requires more thought, and a cooler head, but is definitely feasible.

lol i would much rather go for the sure thing than what is definitely feasible

I don't think it would be any of the famous ones. As a reminder, the San Fran Sheriffs' Dept just got caught running gladiator cage matches with inmates, and SF actually has IA and a public defenders' office with juice. If you can get away with poo poo like that in a city that has independent oversight mechanisms, I have to imagine there are probably some county sheriffs out in West Virginia who rule their sleepy mountain towns like Lord Humongous and have a meth cook going in one of the empty jail cells.

Ok quick traffic question.

Let's say you are in your patrol car. You just found out your wife is cheating on you with your best friend, she has managed to drain your bank account while your best friend drained loads on her face, It's been a bad day for you. So obviously, you're looking for someone to pull over and pop some rounds into, but you live in a place like Harrisonburg, VA, where black people are scarce, so you have to settle for ruining a white guy's day.

So you pull up behind a white guy. I am that white guy.

I approach a 3 way intersection that only offers a left and a right turn, no straights. But immediately across from me is a parking lot. This is mostly a question of semantics because I don't really think any cop would give a poo poo, but which lane is the proper one (not illegal) to go straight across to that parking lot?

E: On the subject of talking to the press, are you absolutely not allowed to? Or do they give you a few bullshit answers to give just in case you have to talk to the press? I ask because the military in Afghanistan was the same way anytime a reporter came around (which was twice). We were not allowed to talk to them, but if we did, we had rehearsed answers to give them.

One of them was a chick and I walked in on her changing because I didn't know they put her in the room she was in. Highlight of my entire tour right there.

it's one of the first methods we learned to see if someone is alive or not.

Yeah, and I think the attractiveness (on a 1-10 scale) of the assailant should factor in as well. Like a 2 offering head should just be a $100 ticket for over playing your hand, while a 9 offering anal should be a minor felony because that poo poo is a legit temptation

i agree, but the opposite.

God I hope not or else you'll have dudes coming to work with 7x scopes, lasers and grips with naked ladies on them.

I'm cool with the last one but naked ladies don't need to be near 7x scopes unless she is looking for your dick.

If you cannot tell the difference between this:

quote:

The officer who shot and killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice in Ohio has delivered his first public account of the killing, over a year after the incident occurred, arguing his actions were justified as he was engaged in an “active shooter situation” and believed Tamir was 18 years old.

Cole
Nov 24, 2004

DUNSON'D
Yeah yeah yeah. I don't want to get into a debate about the shooting. My question is why would he say he thought a 12 year old was 18? Wouldn't that kill his credibility as an officer, which in turn would make it a lot harder for people to be on his side?

Rad Lieutenant posted:

I get the feeling that he's just trying to say he didn't realize it was a 12yo right away. Watch the video, they pull up & he gets out and shoots like, immediately. It's hard to know the age of a person in that short a time span I guess.

Yeah he pulled up and went slapstick action movie on it. If it wasn't a tragedy it would be something out of Paul Blart Mall Cop. I just have trouble believing that he thought Tamir Rice was 18. It isn't like he first spotted him just as he was barrel rolling out of the car.

It's a horrible strategy on his part to say something like that in my opinion. That's all I'm getting at.
