I would absolutely not let them in without a warrant. Of course, I have nothing to hide, I still feel like that's an invasion of privacy. The cops have been here before to talk about different topics. They ask to come in and I politely tell them that I feel more comfortable speaking outside...

I don't drink any drive either. I'm just curious to know what the actually law is and if you have to comply. Or if you just need to roll it down enough to give them your license and registration.

If you are pulled over for speeding I have heard to never roll down the window more than 3 inches because it's inviting them in and they could say they smelled something or say something and rip part your entire care for suspicion. My question is, legally are you required to roll your window...

How do you feel about the South Carolina case with the Police Officer? Do you think he deserves to be charged with murder? In my opinion, he does. The guy was clearly walking, or I should say running away when the Police Officer was shooting him. Some people will argue that he had a taser on...

Under what type of suspicion do you legally need in order to search a vehicle? When you stop someone for a traffic violation, do you have a right to accuse them of being suspicious and searching their vehicle for something you think they MAY have? I was always curious on this but didn't know...

I have heard that cops are getting more involved with questioning lately. "Do you have a concealed carry permit?" Is this a question that is asked by a police officer when the person is just being pulled over for a minor traffic violation? I think if the questions start getting too in depth I...

As a police officer, do you find yourself in fear often as you approach as situation? Maybe it depends on the type of crime or situation you are approaching and the area you work in. Are you ever afraid as you approach someone until you find out their attitude and behavior?

I have been hearing and seeing a lot of things on police brutality lately. Is it just the main stream media making it a bigger issue than it really is? Are there just more bad people in the world where police need to step in? Or has it always been this way but they are making it seem worse now?

I have often heard of how cops have a quota on how many people they need to ticket a month? I have noticed more cops patrolling towards the end of the month. Is this because they need to make sure they get their quota? Is there any truth to this? I am very interested in hearing the truth...

I had heard this and wasn't sure how accurate it is. Is it true that you get promoted if you give out more tickets? To me, this is silly. A police officer should want to do all they can to keep their community safe. If they already have a safe area, it sounds silly that they would want to...

I didn't think it was true, but had to ask personally just to prove them wrong. 8 hours a day for a long time sounds a lot more realistic and I highly doubt that is as much as a barber has to go through. Thanks for the quick response on this!

I am kind of curious as to how many hours a student needs to go through training to become a police officer of duty. I have often heard that a barber goes through more hours of training than a police officer, but I am sure that is just a myth. However, I really am curious as to how many hours...

I have often wondered how old a child needs to be in order to stay home alone. A lot of people I talk to say there isn't an exact age according to the law and they can stay home as long as they are mature enough. I would think a 11 or 12 year old should be responsible enough, but can you get...
