    What "minor" laws do you break?

    I admit that I do jaywalk when I don't feel like waiting for the light to turn red. It seems like a harmless thing to do. I make sure not to do it when I see a cop car though. That may be the one time that they decide to pull over and give me a ticket for it. I also got on the subway without...

    Video-recording police

    I haven't been stopped by the police so I haven't recorded them. I would probably do it if I were approached by one for no reason.

    How often is a cell phone mistaken for a gun?

    I can understand the police getting confused by a cellphone in the dark. I think that the police are concerned seeing someone reach into their pockets. It probably makes them nervous and assume that the citizen is carrying a gun.

    Samuel L Jackson Boycott this BUM

    This is a very controversial topic. I understand that Jackson is upset by what happened to Eric Garner and Michael Brown. It's terrible that the situations had to happen in the first place. I agree that he should tell people about to obey the law and not just focus on the fact that he thinks...

    Do you see an increase of police activity on New Years Eve?

    I think that there will be an increase of police tonight. There are going to be a lot of people out during this holiday so they will most likely be on alert. There will probably be some crimes or accidents happening tonight so the police will be around for that.

    Why don't more prisoners sue the prison when they are sexually assaulted?

    I agree. I think that the prisoners should do something about what is happening to them in prison. They shouldn't allow people to attack them like that. There are some people who are in there who were wrongfully convicted. I know it's easy to dismiss what is going on to them because they are...

    Dumbest Drug Dealer

    That was crazy of him to fall asleep when he did. The good thing is he couldn't deliver the drugs he planned on delivering. I guess he should have thought twice before getting behind the wheel when he is clearly tired.

    How much downtime do officers have on their shift?

    I have wondered that too. In my city, there are a lot of people so there should be plenty to do, yet I have seen cops sitting in their cars talking. The same thing happens in the city I work. They drive around the parking lot and then they sit side by side and talk to each other. I guess...

    Are police shows like "Cops" authentic?

    This is an interesting question. I don't think cops are like the cops on the show. Some of that is most likely made up for television. There may be parts that are real, but they probably act that way just for television.

    Thanksgiving Duty

    That is great that they get holiday pay for working during those days. A lot of crazy people be on the streets during the holidays so their lives are at risk. They deserve to get more money for being willing to protect people despite the danger to their own lives.

    Holiday Drunk Drivers

    I wonder if they know what they are doing when they are drunk too. I think they do overestimate their ability to drive which is why they get in the car in the first place. I agree that it is a selfish thing to do putting other people at risk because they don't want to take a cab or find...

    Overcrowded Prisons

    I have heard of overcrowding in prisons. I am not sure if they have that problem in New Jersey. They do need to come up with a bigger place for the criminals so they won't get off on a technicality.

    Have you witnessed a crime happening yet?

    I haven't seen the crime take place, but two incidents happened near my house. A guy was killed in front of my house. It happened late at night. One of my neighbors was murdered in his house and he lived two houses away from me.

    Do you think Ebola will become widespread in the US?

    I hope it doesn't spread all over U.S. I heard there are cases of Ebola in the U.S. I also heard that someone who was infected with the virus was in NJ, which is where I live. I know there's no way to get it through direct contact, but the nurse in Texas got it and she was wearing the...

    Getting myself ready to begin the police academy

    I wish you luck with joining the academy. It will definitely be a lot of work, but it will be worth it to you in the end. I know you will do a lot of physical things and you will probably go through a lot of mental abuse from the other police. It's all to get you prepared for what you will...
